Yes. I currently have it set at 800ms because 100, 200, and 300 did nothing to fix the double-press...

My problem now is that some key presses are not recognized Confused

Maybe I should lower the inter-key delay now.

*EDIT* as per the link you provided I am going to do the following

Quote:And here's the secret:
Set the inter-key delay to 100ms.
Click on Troubleshoot" for the Plex device
"See more options"
"Plex doesn't appear to receive every command correctly"
"The device responds too much to some commands"
Set the retry count to 1 instead of 3.
Click "Yes" when it asks if you'd like to update the remote now (if not, it won't save it).

Well. That fix worked for all buttons besides the directional buttons. I am not sure what is causing the problem... I have IRW open and it only shows one keypress being sent to the HTPC. Oo


I would like to iron out these kinks before messing with Lircmap.xml and remote.xml files.

*UPDATE* I was wrong. Directional buttons are NOT the only ones affected!

Yeah, don't mess with lircmap yet.

So direction buttons still double press? Maybe you need to bump the delay some. I think my interkey delay is 150 (or 200, when I get home I will check).

Okay. Thanks. I set the repeat to 0 now and will tweak the delay again.

Logitech seriously needs to rewrite their software so that it can update only the settings you actually change on the remote. I sweat it updates the entire config every time and it is time consuming.

My HTPC went to sleep and when I woke it I was not getting double on directions but then some buttons were not working. This is very sporadic and hard to pin down the exact issue.

*UPDATE* I retract my statements about the Logitech software. It does not seem to be the issue. It seems to be LIRC using 2 modules.

Reboot and start from scratch when you are messing with this stuff. You want to eliminate as many "factors" as possible, USB problems after sleep being a big one.

Alright! That is what I have been doing. Simply rebooting and starting from a fresh boot to try and pin down timings and configurations of the remote.

As I said, the pain is getting going. Then the settings are carried with you forever. I recently changed Harmonies and my delays went from one remote to the next...

I still cannot figure out what the problem is...

honestly, everything is working besides the directional buttons. IRW shows one keypress, which is much better than before when it was actually showing the repeated key presses Shocked

[that was solved thanks to delayed timings and the Plex link you provided to eliminate sending the command multiple times]

I just got home and I want to confirm something. Is the device in your Harmony setup EXACTLY "Microsoft Windows Media Center?" because one time I found a different MS remote config in the Harmony database that didn't work as well.

Correct. Microsoft Windows Media Center. Nothing more, nothing less.
