Ok, at first glance it looked like a remote problem, but further investigations showed that the problem is at a different place.

In 1.3.40 the new channel switch code (with fast switch on key-repeat) was introduced. The next available channel (if there is one) is determined in cDisplayChannel::NextAvailableChannel(). The GetDevice() call there uses priority 0.

Unfortunaly my system has one DVB card only and PrimaryLimit is setup to 20, so NextAvailableChannel() newer returns a channel.

If I raise priority to at least PrimaryLimit, it works as expected.

For a one card system I certainly would replace GetDevice(Channel, 0) with GetDevice(Channel, Setup.PrimaryLimit)

I'm not sure how this will effect a multi-card system.

Regards.

Hi,

Hitting up/down brings up the channel info for the current channel only. I can hit the key as many times as I want, nothing more happens.

I can switch to the channel if I enter the number directly and the up/down keys work fine e.g. in menu.

I'm using a LIRC remote. Tested with plain vdr/no plugins too.

Please try changing the line

if (Channel && !Channel->GroupSep() && cDevice::GetDevice(Channel, 0))

in menu.c to

if (Channel && !Channel->GroupSep() && (PrimaryDevice()->ProvidesChannel(Channel, Setup.PrimaryLimit) || cDevice::GetDevice(Channel, 0)))

(untested, just an idea).
