Hi,
is anybody else experiencing sluggish response to remote control commands? It started when I updated to kernel 2.6 and VDR 1.3.
Yes, same for me. But I am observing that remote control key presses are never lost. Sometimes I press several keys in sequence and nothing happens. After some seconds, the keys are "executed" very quickly.
This behaviour is very annoying sometimes.
I did a quick test tonight and ran both irw and vdr in parallel, to see whether it's lirc or vdr that's dropping my remote control commands?
I am also using lirc for controlling other applications (e.g. yammi) and the reaction is always fast.
Has anybody else observed this bug? Any solution or workaround yet? Would you suggest that I put some test code into VDR to debug it?
I also thought about some test code. But I have never looked into the VDR code yet.
I think, there must be some instance inside VDR which "caches" the remote key strokes in some kind of queue.
