universal remote sequence delay not working

[aront]

First of all I want to say this is a fantastic app and I am LOVING every minute of it!

Using Jun 30, 2008 build:
Under Settings -> System -> Apple Remote
If I set the Mode to Universal Remote and put in a Sequence Delay Time there is no effect. The response time is the same whether I set it to: off, 100ms, or 1,000ms. I have tried using both my Harmony 550 and Apple Remote and can see no difference in response time.

hi aront

the sequence-delay is there to enable key combinations and its meaning is "how long do i wait between clicks to figure out if this is a combination or not".

not all keys are part of a combination and on those keys - there is no delay.

for example - "menu->up->select" means "stop" which sometimes is missing from the 6-button apple remote.

so- if you are on "universal remote" mode and get your harmony to send this sequence fast enough then boxee will perform the combination.

i know this is way far from beeing clear and we are working on documenting it.

thanks for the post and welcome to boxee!
