IR blaster behavior (1 Viewer)

[seijirou]

Is there a way to configure the IR blaster behavior?

Here's the use-case. I have scheduled a show to record. I fire up MP to watch the show that is currently recording. When I pull up the list of current streams so that I can tune in to the stream that the scheduler is using, and select it, the IR blaster sends that channel to my set-top box. This kind of sucks because the set-top box pops up an info menu, so my recording now contains that info menu over-top of it for about 10 seconds.

When I'm tuning in to a stream that's already on-going, I don't need any commends sent over the IR blaster. Is there anything I can do about this?

I found another thread where this guy described the behavior very well so I thought I'd quote it here in case it helps to clarify.

Please refer to the following thread that I logged in January 2009 already.....

In the above thread I had response from Roy who thought it looked like a problem with the IRSS plugin.....

To recap on the previous thread....this is how to re-produce the problem....

1) I think the following happens because I have only one TV-card….

- First I schedule a recording for example on channel “Discovery” to start in 10min…

- Now I watch another channel, for example “Fashion TV”, while I’m waiting for the program to start on “Discovery”.

- At the scheduled time for the recording, I get a message popping up that states “Time shifting stopped due to a scheduled recording”, after which my TV goes black.

- If I want to continue watching TV, I now have to go to ‘TV Streams’ and connect to the recording stream.

2) Now this is what screws up my recordings on a regular basis.....

Let’s assume we continue on from where point-1 above stopped… the recording has been running for 30min while I was outside playing with my dogs…

- My TV is black because of point-1 and I decide I’m going to connect to the “Discovery” TV-stream so that I can watch the show.

- As soon as I connect to the TV-Stream the channel changes again in the middle of the program. To clarify this, I’m busy recording the “Discovery” channel, therefore my TV-Card and Satellite-decoder is already on “Discovery” , but as soon as a Client connects to the TV-stream the channel on the satellite-decoder is changed again giving me the 2sec channel-change delay, and the information-bar from the satellite-decoder flashing again.

- Now at watching stage it is just an irritation, but when I watch the recording afterwards I get this 2sec delay and flashing information-bar in the middle of my recordings.

What makes this issue even worst is that I have a separate client setup in my office so that I can watch TV from there, which means that sometimes I have 2 or 3 flashing information-bars in my recording from every time a client connects to a TV-stream.

I hope that something can be done about this.....
