what I'm seeing is that when I FF or RW certain videos, then press play to resume, the video will pause instead of play. From the debug log, it appears that only one remote command is detected, so I don't believe this is the same issue others have been having with the <remotedelay> setting (which I did try setting to 4 as jmarshall recommended):

Code:

You'll need to update the <remotedelay> time a bit - note that 2 "play" commands were sent.

I adjusted remotedelay all the way up to 10, no change in behavior. If I'm just toggling play/pause, it's not an issue - it's specifically when resuming play after FF/RW. And if I use the Play button to toggle play/pause, I see 2 separate LIRC events in the log. In this case, I only see the one.

I also tried adjusting the key repeat rate in my harmony remote to 1000ms, so I knew that only one command was being sent - same behavior. and FWIW, I didn't have this issue under XBMC Live 9.11

Look at the OnKey events, not the LIRC: Update - NEW events. 2 OnKey events following a single LIRC: Update event indicates the button was held.

[Matt Devo]

I promise the button isn't being held. With my key repeat delay is 1000ms, and <remotedelay> set to 20 I'm still having the issue.

I have managed to narrow it down - file type does seem to play a role. DVD ISOs/mkvs (mpeg-2) are fine, but SD xvid-encoded files always exhibit the issue. Bluray mkv repacks (AVC, VC1), and x264-encoded mkv content seems to be a mixed bag though.

[jmarshall]

The log shows everything. With remotedelay set to 20, get a log - if you're still receiving two Play actions, then there's still two being sent.

FWIW, the issue has been resolved in beta2, so I'm happy
