Remote input not working for pin entry (1 Viewer)

[CodeMonkey]

RC3 with SVN as of 14-Apr
Media Center remote, US model

I have one movie directory setup up with a pin code. It has worked previously (pre-RC3) with my system. Now when I navigate to that directory, the screen appears for me to enter my pin code (which happens to be all digits). But when I press the keys on the remote, the input is not recognized by the pin entry display. If I use the mouse to click on the correct digits, the asteriscs appear on the display and the code is accepted, so it appears to be strictly a input from the remote problem.

Hi CodeMonkey

European model can have same problem, this should be in hardware support, so may get moved.
Look at: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=14482

Also not sure as the numbers relate to keyboard, you may need MCE rollup 1 installed.

My number buttons work in general ... just not when entering the pin code. I can. for example, enter a channel number from TV fullscreen and it does go to that channel. So I think it is different than the post you referenced. But thanks!

Still happens with RC4 as well

Still happens exactly the same in RC4.

Hi,

I'm almost sure it never worked this way for me? I also can't find any trace in the code of this feature. I can be wrong though. One thing you can try is removing/changing the remote buttons 0-9 in Setup -> General -> Keys and Sounds -> Global Actions but I'm sure other things break when you do so. Backup your keymap.xml before you do so.

Another option would be to handle the ACTION_REMOTE_0 - ACTION_REMOTE_9 in VirtualKeyboard.cs and retranslate them into keypresses there.

Kind regards,
Michel

I can fully confirm CodeMonkey's bug report :!:

1) I have the MCE remote, European model and could always enter the PIN via the remote keypad until the release of RC3! (in fact I was just searching the forum to see if someone found a solution for this small -but increasingly frustrating- inconvenience)

2) The same for the MCE IR keyboard.

3) I am not sure how it was before with the regular keyboard, but also this can not be used to enter the PIN in SVN of may-12.

With all 3 I am able e.g. to change the TV channel with the number keys.
