I have just configured my remote and when I use the up and down buttons on the remote the selection moves two items not one. When I do a check of the remote with irw a single key press produces two lines of exactly the same data. I recorded the the lircd.conf file personally.

I am steering towards something in the lircrc file or the MythTV keybindings, I really don't know where to look. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue.

Thanks

Maybe you need to adjust the repeat settings in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

The comment in mine says:
Quote:
# Note the "repeat = " strings in the volume and channel.
# This means that if you hold down the key, every nth instance will be
# passed. This depends on your system, so you may want to increase or
# decrease this and see what happens. repeat = 1 is probably too
# fast.

Does it do 2 every time or does it do something from 0 to 2 randomly
as my serial LIRC on an older, slower system does (especially when the
hard drive is very active)?

Hi,
Not much for back ground on your setup but I get a similar action from my keyboard if my install picks up nv instead of nvidia for the x driver. I usually just change the driver so never have confirmed if the same action carried over to the remote.

OK gents (and ladies if present) I had gone through the three suggestions so far and they are wonderful considering the lack of information that I provided. Alas I am still at a loss.

Before I go further I should tell you the hardware involved as this may help. The IR receiver is connected through a DVico Dual Digital 4 (Rev 2) with the remote being a FusionREMOTE.

I have recorded my own lircd.conf file and it looks like this:
Code:
# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <lirc@bartelmus.de>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.3-CVS-pvr150-2(devinput) on Sat Aug 30 15:28:16 2008

      end codes

end remote


For some reason I have to have a copy of the lircd.conf file in /etc/ and /etc/lirc/ as lircd won't start unless I have a conf file in each directory.

If I start LIRC without a conf file in /etc/lirc/ I get:
Code:
root@mythbox:/etc/lirc# /etc/init.d/lirc restart
Stopping lirc daemon: lircmd lircd.
##################################################
## LIRC IS NOT CONFIGURED                       ##
##                                              ##
## read /usr/share/doc/lirc/html/configure.html ##
##################################################
Starting lirc daemon:.


And if I start LIRC without a conf file in /etc/ I get:
Code:
root@mythbox:/etc# /etc/init.d/lirc restart
Stopping lirc daemon: lircmd lircd.
Starting lirc daemon: lircdlircd: could not open config file '/etc/lircd.conf'
lircd: No such file or directory
.


When I do have the remote working this is some of the output from irw:
Code:
000000000001006c 00 down /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
000000000001006c 00 down /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
000000000001006c 00 down /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
000000000001006c 00 down /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
0000000000010067 00 up /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
0000000000010067 00 up /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
0000000000010067 00 up /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
0000000000010067 00 up /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Now I pressed the down button twice with a pause in between and the up button twice. As you can see the remote is sending the code twice on each button press.

Here is the hardware.conf for information purposes:
Code:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
START_LIRCMD=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="dev/input"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/input/event6"
MODULES=""

#Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
LIRCMD_CONF=""


This is a section from lircrc:
Code:
begin
    prog   = mythtv
    button = up
    repeat = 5
    config = Up
end

begin
    prog   = mythtv
    button = down
    repeat = 5
    config = Down
end


So is there anyone out there that may be able to steer me in some direction that may equate to a resolution.

Thanks.

Do your other keys have the repeat = 5? As tjc mentioned, try adjusting the repeat value...

With the repeat setting I have tried with it completely removed, with a value of 2 and a value of 5 all with the same result.

Is there a way I see what event is being passed to mythtv as when I run irw it stops Mythtv from receiving the IR events?

Although I don't see that it deals with the Up/Down keys specifically, I wonder if this code is in your version of lirc? (Not running a 5.5 box ATM so I can't check)

You shouldn't have to have two copies of lircd.conf. It is my
guess that that is related to your problem.

Did you build a lirc module from source or something like that?

Two conf files, two copies of lirc running, two key presses?

on my stock install, /etc/lircd.conf is a link to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
Code:
$ ls -l /etc/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 Aug  1 18:42 /etc/lircd.conf - > /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 Aug  1 18:42 /etc/lircmd.conf -> /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf

/etc/lirc:
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  469 Aug  1 22:04 hardware.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  487 Dec 10  2006 hardware.conf.1st
-rw------- 1 root root  672 Nov  5  2006 lirc-modules-source.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8604 Aug  2 11:14 lircd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  121 Oct 16  2006 lircmd.conf


I did have some unexpected results one time when I edited my lircrc file I accidently configured a button twice. I copied a section from the top mythtv section to the xine section but forgot to change the "prog= " from mythtv to xine. It resulted in double keypresses in mythtv and none in xine. Just a thought.

I seem to be having this problem too. It only seems to be in the Watch Recordings menu for me. At least what I've notices so far. It's very random. I can go a couple days without a problem but then other times its every key press. Anyone found a solution for this?

I'm having a similar problem on my EPIA M10000 box after upgrading to 5.5.
My problem occurs after playback and deleting the program. Trying to move around to watch another program after doing this causes the behavior. If I exit, then click 'Watch Recordings' it seems to resolve it.

I have no idea why deleting the program would cause the behavior but it does.

The second post in this thread seems to have worked for me. (Cecil's post)

Not sure if this causes any other issues but I haven't noticed any yet.

I have tried most suggestions except the one about recompiling lirc as I don't really know what I am doing there, so I am going to go back to step 1 and do a clean install and start from scratch. Is there a guide anywhere that will take me through the steps of setting up LIRC on a KnoppMyth 5.5 system, not using the inbuilt setup program?

Thanks

How did you go with the clean install?
Is there a possibility that you apt-got something that installed a different version of lirc (different to the one that ships with R5.5)?
