We're still talking about lirc aren't we? It has a demultiplier right in the button press definition config file... I don't have access to the KnoppMyth box at the moment but it's righ there in the sample file if you look... You just give it a number of repeat keypresses to count as one, it's dead easy.

no the ati doesn't use lirc it's and RF remote and uses it's own kernel module.

Outpour (or whomever): if you do work out the steps to adjust sensitivity and get a new version of the module installed, please add it to the wiki. I see the same behavior and it would be great to get it to calm down.

OK, Outpour... I've just discovered a new problem... I thought the script was debugged to the point where everything was working correctly... but today I just discovered that if the video file I'm trying to play has any spaces in it, the script won't run...

I have a ton of videos in multiple directories that I have shared to the MythTV box from my Windows box, and most of the files have spaces in the names. Is there something I need to change in the script to allow it to handle spaces in the filenames?

I ran into the same problem. Instead of working out away to allow files with spaces, I wrote a perl script to replace spaces with _s. But it only works on linux, so i guess a quick fix for you would be to make your script like so:



Not very clean, but it should work.. assuming you don't have any files with more than six spaces.

Since I do have files with more than 6 spaces (when you include the directory structure), how far out can I carry that? when I get to $9, is that the end, or can I use letter variables?

Try it out... not sure.

Alright to compile the ati_remote.c.. I ran 'make modules' but it compiled _Every_ module in the src tree.

If i do a make modules_install it will install all those modules. All I want to install is the ati_remote one. Anyone have any idea how I can do this?

Copying the generated .o file from the src to the correct /lib/modules/ tree does not make it work as installed modules are '*.ko' (kernel objects).

Shell Programing 102 - When you want all of the arguments to a shell script you use the special variable expansions $* and it's cousin $@. The main difference is in how they expanded within quotes, but that's for shell programing 201.

A better solution is to put quotes around the %s you use in the GUI. Then the existing $1 would work, although for best results you should also put double quotes around it on the mplayer line. E.g. - mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv "$1"

BTW - Putting spaces in Unix file names is allowed, but discouraged since it plunges you into the depths of quoting hell. Doing it is often considered a real (MS-)Windows Weenie stunt in polite society. We won't even talk about the Mac cultists - as a friend told me half a lifetime ago about APL programmers - "Why would you want have anything to do with those crazed religous fanatics?"

Thanks for the tip, tjc... it worked beautifully. I definitely understand about not putting spaces in filesnames on my MythTV box, but I've got about 100 seasons of various TV shows on my Windows box that I stream to MythTV. Since they're all organized by show and season and title, some of them have lots of spaces in the entire path eg (D:\TVShows\The Wonder Years\Season 2\0205 - Just Between Me and You and Kirk and Paul and Carla and Becky.avi).

So... thanks for getting me out of quoting hell. And... I can't knock Windows too much... if it didn't have so many isues, I wouldn't have a job.
