[vdr] LIRC problem - remote too sensible

["Christian Jacobsen" <christian.jacobsen@stageholding.de>]

Hallo,

I have got the problem that when I press a button on my Remote - somtimes
VDR takes it as a double press (repeat).
I already tried to increase delay in lirc.c - meanwhile I am having
REPEATLIMIT=100 and REPEATDELAY=1000 normal is 20/350.

Since increasing these numbers it has got better but it still happens.
Mostly it happens when stopping a replay with the blue button so that I am
in the Timers menu afterwards. Or on the "GREEN" button so that I am not
getting the EPG of the channel but "what's on now" instead.

Could it bee that repeats are handled different in different menus/parts of
VDR ?

I found this in the mailing list and tried both things :

I don't see however that the second tipp  "|| (count == 1)" can solve that.
It seems to me that the repeatdelay then only is used the first (or first 2)
time(s) the button is repeated - or am I wrong here ? (I am no programmer -
just what I think to see in the source)
