  • Limit on bitrate selection

    When watching for example:

    Add-ons > Video add-ons > (addon) > Live TV > (program)

    I notice that the highest available bitrate (negociated?) is always selected, and I'm aware that I can select another during playback:

    Settings > Select Program > (choose bitrate) > Exit

    Is it possible to put a max. limit on the bitrate, either globally or per add-on, so I can avoid adjusting it manually?

  • Repeated keypress from remote

    Ok - got that.

    I must admit that I didn't know what I was venturing into when I selected that remote - next I'll try to find another remote in my collection (with some nicer codes + Harmony support), so I still can have my 3-device Harmony control 4 devices, and have your suggestions as a safe fallback.

    Thanks for your answers, this is a very responsive forum.

  • Repeated keypress from remote

    Quote

    ... make sure a button sends a single scancode.

    I've scratched my head quite a bit - how do I do that?

    If I instruct ir-keytable to show all codes for all protocols for PLAY, PAUSE, RIGHT, LEFT:

    (made a bit more readable), it shows one event for PLAY and PAUSE, but two for RIGHT and LEFT.

    I could read the last two as: first event is a generic 'special code follows', the second a specific button - can I configure my way out of that?

    Thanks for your patience!

  • Repeated keypress from remote

    Here's the test output:

  • Repeated keypress from remote

    I did like this:

    Code
    piLibreELEC:~ # ir-keytable -D 3000 -c -w keys-exp.txt
Read pioneer-remote table
Old keytable cleared
Wrote 15 keycode(s) to driver
Protocols changed to nec
Repeat delay = 5000 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
Changed Repeat delay to 3000 ms and repeat period to 125 ms

    plus your suggestion and several other values for -D - and there was NO difference whatsoever.

    I'm not sure I understand the -D value: is it applied to interval between down+up event pairs or the interval from a long press ie. from down to up?

    Thank you both.

    I have thought of that, but the remote is old and the software does not offer this option, even though the Logitech link suggests it.

    Then I'll have to configure each of my mapped keys (25 so far) to be directed to the same script.

    I haven't got a clue about how to do this, so I'll try that as a last resort (lazyness + lack of knowledge).

    I was hoping for a pointer to a suitable configuration setting somewhere in the chain from IR to Kodi.

    Or maybe bringing lircd back in play - would it be doable configuring it to suppress repeating events?

  • Repeated keypress from remote

    Finished installing my first LibreELEC (LibreELEC-RPi.arm-9.2.6), simple 3-pin IR receiver connected to GPIO.

    Followed Infra-Red Remotes wiki and got an old Pioneer DVD-remote to work - the HARD way (not using LIRC Support section).

    My Logitech Harmony 200 is configured as that remote in the DVD-setting, but it apparently transmits several (usually 3) quick keypress events per keypress, and they're passed on to KODI.

    I tried to stop (kodi and) eventlircd and start it by hand using --repeat-filter, but the result seems to be the same:

    /usr/sbin/eventlircd --repeat-filter -f --evmap=/etc/eventlircd.d --socket=/run/lirc/lircd &

    irw confirms the repeated keys.

    I guess it should be possible to filter aout the extra events - any help is appreciated.
