repeating codes
Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 9:19 pmhello from canada,
i am the happy user of a harmony880-usbuirt-girder4 combination, i only need some fine-tuning advice (i hope!) and i must say, i am not an expert...
my problem is that the following buttons: vol+, vol-, mute, ch+, ch-, ch prev send a series of 4 or 5 identical ir codes instead of one, therefore i had to adjust the "Anti repeat" setting in girder to 500ms (half a second) or more in order to change the channels one after another for instance.
it works fine, but when i want to go quickly past some of them, it goes, you know, one channel each half second - which is really annoying
an other example is when a commercial starts, which is usually louder than the movie, you quickly reach for the remote, press the button and the volume goes down by one, you guessed, each half a second - i know i could set +5 and -5 for volume change, but then when you want it just a little bit louder it goes in jumps by 5
the over all impression is that that changes are not very smooth
i do realize that is nothing wrong with the usbuirt receiver but i was wondering if somebody else has experience with same kind of behaviour and if there is a solution...
thanks,
chris
i am using:
- usbuirt plugin version 3.2.1 (the one that comes with girder)
- usbuirt driver version 3.1.2.0
- girder 4
