Microsoft Remote Back Button not mapped

[Stephen Robertson]

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-lirc-generator

On a clean install of 8.04 the Microsoft MCE remote(I think it's defined as Phillips et al) the back button doesn't work out of the box. Running irw shows that it is detected ok but there is just no mapping in lircrc. I would have suggested that it be mapped to Esc.

I've had a bit more of a look and there are a few more buttons not mapped, for example, the coloured buttons for teletext. Would there be any interest if I was to update mythbuntu-lirc-generator and submit it? Or is there reason I am missing that these are not mapped by default?

Stephen:

There would most definitely be interest in such a patch (provided it doesn't
break anything else of course ;))

If you can do it in a bzr branch and let us merge it or a unified diff. Either way.

Doesn't the stop button already map to <ESC>?

I'd prefer if the back button took you "back" to the previous channel. Enables easy channel flipping:

begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = mythtv
    button = Back
    config = H
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

We can look into this, irrc though some remotes the stop and back are the
same button which would cause an overlap issue. If I am wrong this is an
easy update.

On our myPVR environment we map the Back key to Esc as suggested by the bug reporter

See http://support.openmedia.co.nz/mypvr/support/remote-control-and-custom-key-mappings/ for more details.

The code we use is.

begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = mythtv
    button = Back
    config = Escape
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

Actually for 9.10 fresh installs this should be fixed now. If it's not, please reopen :)
