Re: Antec Fusion remote (RM200) mceusb mode

[Colin A. <ca...@uw...>]

I'm also trying to get my new MythTV box working nicely...

With respect to my enquiry, I understand that, having specified the
device node properly that the buttons now work except for the "Pictures"
one.  Me too.  However, for a keypress to register, I need to press the
button repeatedly or hold it down for a few seconds.  So, almost all the
keys 'work' but not without some effort.

Are you seeing the same thing?  For example, when you press the '1' key,
is the keypress registered immediately or do you need to hold the button
down while pointing the remote at the display (like I do)?

I know that you can change the IR protocol using the ir-keytable
command.  The following should do it but, not having an MCE remote, I
can't test it:

$ sudo ir-keytable -p RC-6

Until next time, Colin.
