Hi Uwe,

here are the details of my system:
- CPU: AMD K6 266 (overclocked to 333 Mhz)
- RAM: 80 MB PS2 EDO
- Board: AT with Intel 430TX
- IR-transmitter: IRdeo "ultralight" (IR-LED + 100Ohm-resistor + 9pin-SUB-D-Plug)
- Sony MDS-JE640 (a earlier modell of JE770)

I made this transmitter only for a test with the IRdeo-Software ( http://irdeo.de ), but it works also with LIRC, compiled for IRdeo-hardware.

I tested today the delay for identical characters, and got the first problems at 1ms. Maybe the weather is better today ;o).

I've found out some more problems in the section "proc setName" and hopefully fixed it on my system (it could also depend on the IR-hardware, like you wrote):

- At some titles it doesn't start the title-editing: 
    ircmd delay 8
    # je640 has problems to recieve the command name at title <10
    ircmd rm-d29m name

- Some characters will not be set on my MD-recorder, that's why I add a 1ms-delay after each char.-command
        ircmd rm-d10p $cmd
        ircmd delay 1
        # 640 swallows some characters

- I set the delay after the title-input to 4ms, because when "k" is the last, my recorder dosen't understand the command "yes".
    ircmd delay 4
                #2 je530, 640 has a problem with k as last char.

The modificated tcl-file an the database I gonna send you in a seperate mail.

regards, Micha

p.s. I would wish for the future a XMMS-plugin like Wincue ( www.wincue.org ) for the Winamp. Wincue sends the titles from the playlist through the IR-transmitter, but not at my system. There are some signals at the transmitter but my recorder doesn't understand it.
