I am running XBMC 13.1, and yesterday i upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS --> 14.04. After doing so I have some problems with my remote that I have not been able to solve, even after three ours of nightly googling and frustration. The remote is an Asrock MCE remote, which came with my ION 330 BR. Here is a picture of them both for reference
Under Ubuntu 12.04, the remote worked out of the box with no configuration. After the upgrade it is still recognized automatically, but it acts very weirdly. In XBMC i can navigate (e.g. left and right), but if I click left two-three times in semi-rapid succession it registers as like 10-15 clicks in under a second. If I try to adjust the volume, the volume indicator shows up, but the volume level barely change at all, even if I am repeatedly clicking or holding the volume down key. Moreover, some buttons do not work out of the box like before, including OK and BACK (but this problem I can fix by editing the key bindings, so I don't necessarily need help with that).
The ir receiver is built into my ION 330, and is an nuvoton-cir device. I am not using lirc (it is not even installed). The output of ir-keytable gives the following:
(The first device here is my IR receiver, the other is a TV card).
When testing it with ir-keytable -t i get the following when I click the up arrow on my remote once (using the RC-6 protocol only):
As you can see, the key is registered as clicked at least twice. I guess this is the root of my problem. But what can I do about that? How do I fix it, or how can I troubleshoot further?[/php]
