[solved] MP1-4585 Generic HID input device support for MCE buttons (3 Viewers)

[Sebastiii]

I saw one a couple of hours ago but that one did not work either.

I remember that force/rebase the branch can trigger something wrong with BOT, not often or very rarely

Can we merge that stuff to master then?

 

[Sebastiii]

Nope for now until good result / Doc ready etc.
But you surely can build the branch and upload full installer ?

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Almost forgot about the docs. The installer issue was fixed and the latest installer is available from the first post on that thread.

Stephane,

Sorry. its a bit late, but I do see an issue.

When using General HID, the [exit] [pause] [<<] [>>] are sent double. Tested this in multiple times switching between General HID and MCE. MCE remote doesnt show this behaviour.

I created the logs for both situations.

Second thing I noticed.
When in Debug mode 1 or 2, the behavior between both is different. Maybe even both incorrect.
General HID remote does not respond to any command.
MCE remote only replies to the GUIDE button, but no directions or ok/back etc.

Can you reproduce and does this make sense?

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Thanks for the extra testing.

The pause issue is only affecting the music player, right? Could be a config issue.

I'm not sure what you mean with Debug mode 1 or 2. The issue your are describing happened to me quite a lot during development but to me it looked like a Windows driver issue. Things got messed after a while swapping between USB IR devices.
It's happening on my production system.

 

[edterbak]

yes that could be.
Will try and sort it out.

in the mean time, its good if some can reproduce the OK behavior.

 

[edterbak]

Yep you were right. for some reason issue is gone again.. LOL

Sorry for scaring us

Sorry for scaring us

Takes more than that to scare me

I fixed the double keys issue. One can now specify if a button supports repeat in the XML file.
Try if play/pause is fixed. I did not mark previous/next and exit as not supporting repeat.
I'll try and fix that next. Meanwhile you could also fix it yourself in Generic-HID.xml.
I'll publish the new build as soon as the bot is ready.

As far as I can tell this issue is either caused by a lag in the application which appears to be my case with music play/pause.
If it takes more than half a second for the app to process the request I guess you could have repeat sneaking in.
Anyway my changes works around those issues nicely.

@high bot build seems broken again
