[vdr] Re: vdr-1.1.12 Configuration of buttons on RC



Hi all,

seems to me that the end user interface (RC) is the most important thing !
... forgetting the tons of code and time spent by all the people  ( ;o)
...hi Klaus) that spent so much time programming and making the stuff
possible .

Okay, base down like this ... to avoid any inconvenience with
girl/boy/friend , dog, toaster or parents,  I  love above all the Clemens
idea of brainstorming about remote keys (even if for the moment I cannot yet
use mine :)... maybe we can complete the lirc library for any new remote
that appears and make the remote knowledge base growing ... concerning
''down Vs pause" I would only like to hilight that on otherdigital sat
receivers remote keys have a contextually different meaning... so what ?

Cheers
MedMed
