The attached patches provide support for three keys found on some remote controls such as the A415 (supplied with various current Hauppauge cards).
The keys are "repeat", "skip" and "previous channel". The last of these is obvious; the other two duplicate the functions of the yellow and green buttons during recording playback.
(If the first two are accepted, I'll apply the third one to xine-lib CVS.)
I also wrote a patch for at least the 'repeat' and 'skip' key.
You've used them differently, I see; only the naming is incompatible, AFAICT. "Previous" and "Next" does seem more appropriate.
Previous Channel I assigned to a user key and connected it to zaphistory plugin in keymacros.conf.
Not a problem, but it's a distinct VDR function a^\nd, since there's a key for it on some (common?) remote controls, I think that it deserves a VDR key code for itself.
The * and # keys don't, though; their placement on that remote control makes them suitable for use as duplicate OK and Back buttons.
(I see that that remote control is described as "ergonomic". R808 - the older grey/black one - has a better layout...)
