[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1256425, member: 141969"] The Ortek/Hama remote control has had a bit of a checkered history. o_O The Ortek originally worked correctly, but the changes that [USER=140174]@Stéphane Lenclud[/USER] introduced for the "General HID" support caused an unintended change to the handling of the Ortek, with the result that a keyboard could no longer be used to enter search strings into the on-screen keyboard (e.g. to search the EPG). That was when I created my support pack for the Ortek, with a revised config file. The new config needed a whole new section to define mappings for keyboard keys. That cured the problem with keyboard input, but I have no idea [i]why[/i] it fixed the problem. :confused: Anyway, I have just made a trial change to the Ortek config file, to see if it is possible to bypass whatever change to MP has caused the current problem. The change is simple: I have defined the VOLUME_UP, VOLUME_DOWN, and MUTE buttons to map to the MP action "Invalid", so that those buttons now do nothing. Result: the volume and mute buttons operate correctly, and the volume OSD and mute icon appear and disappear correctly. (y) :) However, there is one difference from previous behaviour. With these changes, it requires [b]three button presses[/b] on the Ortek in order to change the length of the volume bar by one unit. Previously, it required only one button press to change the volume bar by one unit. Actually, I think that three presses per unit is the same as the way that the MCE RC6 remote behaves on my system. [USER=163766]@Hazza06[/USER] in [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-1-21-volume-osd-for-1039-mce-remote-and-mce-keyboard-not-working.138910/page-4#post-1256017']this post[/URL] mentioned a similar behaviour, so perhaps this is "normal" behaviour. So, we have a solution for the Ortek/Hama for MP 1.22 and future releases. I will need to test to see if this change to the Ortek config file is backward compatible (i.e. will it still work correctly on MP 1.20 and older releases). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
