Well honestly I'm confused. I use vdr 1.6 and when I press down or up it changes channel only. My vdr never pauses live tv. Mind you I don't have a pause key either and neither defined. So perhaps this is the way to for him.
Why didn't you just read the manual? It is all there! :) It is really great!
The point is: keys do different things in differnet environments.
In liveview, the "down"- key decreases channel by 1 in replay-mode the "down"-key pauses the recording.
If you define a pause-key, than this key pauses in replay-mode. In live-view it creates an instant-recording, that is replayed and paused.
Before anyone posts to this topic, would you please read the manual?
I think this whole thread would not exist, if anyone would have read the manual ;)
btw. the manual comes with every copy of VDR and can be read via web in the WIKI: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/VDR_User%27s_Manual
Well, I do want the live-pause / instant-recording function, but I can think of a simple way out of this discussion. Why not allow the Pause key to be redefined in keymacros.conf, like the color and User? keys.
I have not had a look into the code in vdr.c, but maybe this also requires some non-trivial changes in key processing to stacked event/handler tables with priorities and in such case this is not possible if only needed for this goal.
