Hi,
I've just switched to an LIRC based remote to control VDR, but find the key repeat time annoying for scrolling down long menus or tracking through a video clip. The key repeat is too long!
I've had a suggestion that I should adjust the 'repeat' value in the .lircc file - but I don't have one of these!
I found a link talking about using lirc to control linux applications: "The configuration is done with the ~/.lircrc file:
begin remote = <your remote> button = <your button> prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = /usr/local/bin/mozilla -mail end"but this doesn't apply to VDR well.Can I use lircc to adjust my repeat time??

Hi Simon,
how many repeats do you get with irw in 10 seconds? From this calculate how much time is between two repeats.
If this is too long, it has to be adjusted in your lirc.conf or in the lirc driver for your lirc receiver. I´m assuming your remote is sending the repeats fast enough, but maybe that is not the case?
If this is sufficient short, you could experiment with lowering the value of REPEATFREQ in VDR/lirc.c. HTH, Jörg

Hi Simon,

If this is too long, it has to be adjusted in your lirc.conf
specially you could try different values of toggle_bit in lircd.conf
or in the
lirc driver for your lirc receiver. I´m assuming your remote is sending the repeats fast enough, but maybe that is not the case?
would be interesting, if it works with a RC5 remote

The repeats in irw are too long too, so I don't think it's a VDR problem
specially you could try different values of toggle_bit in lircd.conf
My lircd.conf has : begin remote
name Hauppauge_350 bits 13 flags RC5|CONST_LENGTH eps 30 aeps 100
one 969 811 zero 969 811 plead 1097 gap 114605 # gap 200000 toggle_bit 2what other values can I try in toggle_bit ?

from my lircd.conf: begin remote
name OFA URC-7541 bits 13 flags RC5|CONST_LENGTH eps 30 aeps 100
one 889 889 zero 889 889 plead 889 gap 113792 toggle_bit 2
so yours looks good. What kind of receiver do you use? Maybe the lirc mail list is the place to look for help. Jörg
