MCE Remote (New) LIRC Double Tap Issue

[riegersn]

Im using the Microsoft MCE (New) remote (http://www.microbarn.com/details.aspx?rid=101090) and it seems that buttons are being pressed twice. Many times when I select a movie i hear the click twice and it plays instead of showing me the options.

If i run irw from a command prompt I def see the double press for each button. Is there a way to stop this? It makes navigating the app a difficult task.

What you see in irw is correct. It SHOULD be sending buttons twice. (So long as the show up as 00 and 01 right before the button name)

The problem you're having with Boxee is different. Boxee's repeat delay is too short, IMHO.

The best thing to do is raise Boxee's repeat delay:
In ~/.boxee/UserData create a file named: advancedsettings.xml

In it put this:


<advancedsettings>
<remoterepeat>1000</remoterepeat>
</advancedsettings>

Thanks! I'll try this out when I get home from work and post my results.
