PgUp and PgDown mismapped on MCE

[MarcRandolph]

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-lirc-generator

I haven't been able to find that it has already been fixed, so if it has, feel free to close this.

I have what I believe to be a pretty typical remote:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote

(specifically a version 2 that reports from SMK Manufacturing, Inc.)

Anyway, ChanUp and ChanDown buttons generate an Up/Down key config rather than PgUp/PgDown:

begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = mythtv
    button = ChanDown
    config = Down
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

when it should be:

begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = mythtv
    button = ChanDown
    config = PgDown
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

Same for ChanUp/PgUp.

This is by design. It allows for ChanUp/Down to work while in LiveTV. If you
prefer another configuration modify the config you posted to your
preference.

Since there is already and up and down button which does that, I have to admit I don't quite understand the logic of having a second set of buttons do the exact same function.

I somewhat agree, and think the big is really in the fact that mythtv
should default to page up and down being Chan up and down.

So i'm setting this to the mythtv package instead. We need to forward this change upstream so that the defaults have pgup/pgdown mapped to ch+/ch-

[MarcRandolph (mrand)]

Moving to correct bucket.

Ooops, I somehow missed Mario's comment.

Marking incomplete as this release isn't supported anymore. Can anyone confirm that this issue is still present on a supported Mythbuntu/MythTV release?
