Why is the user input so slow? When I press a key in remote, there seems to be a random delay of 0-0.5sec or so.. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes not. It's fine in channel switching but really annoying when you a trying to input filenames or something.
.. Replying to myself.. The problem seems to be in kernel level after all, I enabled ir_debug in budget-ci module and the same delay is there as well, debug log appears at the same time as vdr reacts to the keypress.
This is a known driver problem: a link to a patch was posted a few weeks back which removes this delay. See: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2007-February/011994.html
I've always had more success with a home-brew LIRC receiver on a serial port.
I think I'll go for LIRC too.. :( I installed the above patch, it is slightly better but not very much.
