MCE Remote Sending Keypresses Too Rapidly
#1
I'm having a minor issue with my MCE Remote sending keypresses/buttonpresses much too quickly. If I hold down the button for even ~0.1s it will send 2-3 keypresses to my XBMCBuntu machine which is incredibly annoying when trying to choose a menu item with any amount of precision. I tried updating the userdata/advancedsettings.xml with <remoterepeat>800</remoterepeat> to limit it to 0.8s, but that had seemingly no impact. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Does your MCE receiver show up to the computer as a keyboard?
Code:
$ dmesg | grep -i keyboard

If so, you may be able to modify the key repeat settings like every other keyboard.

You need to ensure that the advancedsettings.xml ile begins with:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
and ends with
Code:
</advancedsettings>

You might also try:

Code:
<remotedelay>10</remotedelay>

Change 10 to a value that works
