    All of my buttons work like before (1.12.) there ist just one issue with repeating of commands

    The Channel up/down button is/was used as Page up/down in listings. In 1.12. when I kept on pressing the Page up/down button --> the command was repeated - so it was like fast scroll up/down.
    Now in 1.13. the comand is executed only one time. So in long lists (like Music...) this is very annoying because I habe to press this button many many times to go through a long list

    This does not happen with up/down button --> this is repeated as it was before...

    So any hint where/how I can change this. (and I hope it's unerstandable ;))

    Repeat should work for channel increment/decrement.
    Can you check that you don't have an older custom configuration XML in the way?
    See file paths at the bottom of the following article:
    http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...ion/MediaPortal_Configuration/8_Remote/01_HID

    Check also that your Repeat speed and delay are set to -1 to use system defaults.

    Hi @Stéphane Lenclud

    I do have a (custom) file @ C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\Generic-HID.xml
    I think (well I'm rather sure...) it was created after updating to 1.13. -
    Question: Is it correct: If I delete this file --> I have the original values again (from C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\defaults\InputDeviceMappings\Generic-HID.xml)

    If so, I will try it when I'm home... :coffee:

    Yes!
    That was it: Deleted (of course I have a copy) C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\Generic-HID.xml
    --> Channel / Page up/down is repeated now!

    :D
    This is the custom Generic-HID.xml. What is wrong with it?

    Could you do some customization through configure and see if the problem came back?

    Did so (Only changed "Radio" button to "Musik") and --> The problem comes back...:(
    So: As soon as there is a custom Generic-HID.xml --> Page up/down doesn't repeat...

    That's what I thought, that's the bug :)
    You could fix your custom XML by adding back the repeat="true" attribut to your ChannelIncrement and ChannelDecrement buttons.
    Just edit both files to look how it is done you should spot the difference and be able to fix it.

    Hi Stéphane,

    I don't have such a folder C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings neither on the HTPC with MP1 nor on my other PC with MP1.

    I only have a folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\defaults\InputDeviceMappings

    Is there anything wrong? Could it be the update from 1.12 to 1.13 deleted the folder C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings ?


    Cheers
