I have experienced a strange problem after upgrading to 1.3.31. The remote key repeat is so fast that I haven't succeeded to change channels reasonably. A single press of any key gives two presses. I have tried to track the problem down without any success.
I assume you're using the remote control unit bundled with the Hauppauge Nova-T PCI 90002. I tried the vdr-remote plugin quite some time ago, before switching from dxr3 output to softdevice output on DirectFB.
Maybe key-release events are somehow misinterpreted as key-press events? The softdevice remote control driver doesn't report key-release events to VDR. When I tried to add them, I faced some problems (can't remember which exactly, though). The Linux cx88 remote control driver will report key-release events (see evtest output).
See also the patch I posted a few days ago, for making cInterface::Wait() ignore k_Repeat events.
Any hint will be greatly appreciated.
If you are interested in trying softdevice-dfb on the Nova-T, see my patches at http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/software/vdr/. Current DirectFB doesn't distinguish key-press and key-repeat events.
