Hi I hope someone can point me in the right direction re the following problem.
I was running MP 1.1.2 with the Keyboard input plugin and a Logitech Harmony One remote with no major issues after some tweaking. My only initial problen was that I had to set the remotes interkey delay to "0" so that when selecting a 2 digit channel the remote would send the codes fast enough before MP ignored the second channel digit. This worked 90% of the time.
I have now upgraded to MP 1.2.1 and it would seem that something has changed in the time MP takes to change channels. Now the remote can't send the 2 digit codes quick enough via the preprogrammed channel buttons before MP changes the channel. MP is ignoring the second digit of a 2 digit channel and changes to the first digit channel. i.e. channel "12" goes to channel "1"
I have played with every possible setting in the remote to no avail. I have since discovered that the remote doesn't send out the codes one after the other even thought the interkey delay is set to "0". If I use the manual number buttons then everything happens in real time and MP is happy.
I have tried the remote with MC and all is ok as MC appears to leave a longer time between the start of a channel selection and when the channel actually changes allowing enough time to capture the second digit.
Inside MP I have tried adjusting the OSD Zap setings but I discovered that this only works with the up/down channel buttons and not the manual select like if you enter the channel number. This appears to contradict some of the help sections (or at least they don't explain it well enough) so not sure if this is a bug?
Now the question. Is it possible for me to somehow make the time longer that MP takes between registering the first digit of a channel selection and when it actually changes the channel? By extending the time this would allow MP to capture the second or even third channel select digit if long enough. I know the real problem is the remote but I can't do anything more with it so was hoping some MP adjustment might overcome the problem.
Hoping someone can help. Thanks.
