Down button does not reliably repeat

[fbacher]

I'm using XBMCRemote and I have both UP and DOWN set to repeat but keeping UP pressed repeats just fine while DOWN does not. The IR receiver indicates that it is receiving (something) all during the press. I have swapped the action performed between DOWN and UP and the behavior follows the key, not the function.

I believe there is a (low level) way to see the codes that is actually being received by the device. I would like to confirm that it is constantly seeing the DOWN key.

Oh, I am running XP service pack 3 with some weirdo MS equivalent remote. I had to do magic to the driver files before the installer recognized that it supported my remote (as suggested elsewhere).

Any hints?

Hi,

I'm using XBMCRemote and I have both UP and DOWN set to repeat but keeping UP pressed repeats just fine while DOWN does not. The IR receiver indicates that it is receiving (something) all during the press. I have swapped the action performed between DOWN and UP and the behavior follows the key, not the function.

I'm not sure, are you using the action "Autorepeat current macro" in the macro of the UP and DOWN button?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. For both UP and DOWN I have added: "Autorepeat current macro: 0.6". I just can't figure out why they behave differently. My conclusion so far is that somehow EventGhost is not seeing that I have DOWN pressed constantly, but it does see UP pressed. It would be great if I knew what the device was seeing.

There's no way to see what the device is sending to EG without modifying the code. The plugin you are using will likely have a Decode function that sends the data to the EG's IrDecoder. The IrDecoder has a bunch of decoders it tries to detect the on/off bits as well.

The remote itself was the problem, I confirmed with another remote. Brand new too.
