MVP remote direct channel number keypad access

[rscheller]

See my sig for specifics.

Sorry if this is answered somewhere already but I can't seem to find much regarding direct channel access.

As well as my system is working, I continue to fine tune. One problem I'm still having is when watching 'Live TV' on the MVP, my MVP remote won't let me access a channel with the num-pad on the remote that's more than a single digit. i.e. if I press 6 on the num-pad the GBPVR/MVP OSD shows a 6 and goes to channel 6 but if I press 1 then 6 (channel 16), GBPVR/MVP OSD shows a 1 then the 1 is replaced with a 6 then it goes to channel 6. It seems as though the system only sees the last single number pressed.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Thats strange. It should. Can you reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the gbpvr.exe.log?

Sub, here's the file you requested.

Basically I started the MPV, selected to view 'Live TV' which was previously left on channel 6 which the Live TV reverted to.

Then I did the following few steps,
Channel down - went to channel 5
Channel down - went to channel 4
Numpad 6 - went to channel 6
Numpad 16 - stayed on channel 6 (note I saw the 1 and 6 on the OSD)
Numpad 26 - stayed on channel 6 (note I saw the 2 and 6 on the OSD)

Here's the file

I'll look at the logs in a few minutes, but one question first. If you re-enable the 'force minimal OSD for MVP' setting, does it work as you expect?

[rscheller]

Sub, as you requested, I tried re-enabling 'force minimal OSD for MVP' and it had no effect on the issue. While I was testing though, I unchecked 'Fully transparent OSD' and it began working. Just to validate, I re-checked 'Fully transparent OSD' and it failed again.

I now have 'Fully transparent OSD' unchecked and it's working fine.

BTW, I can't visually tell one way or the other if 'Fully transparent OSD' does anything on screen? What should it do?

Thanks

Normally it'll change channels are a short period of time since your last button press. I'm guessing it thinks its waited long enough, and doesnt think you're going to type any more numbers.

[rscheller]

Yes, I've tried the button pressing speed scenario... I generally press a two digit channel combo as fast as my thumb will move and had no luck. I tried slowing the button presses too, thinking I was pressing them too quickly. That didn't work either. Now with 'Fully transparent OSD' disabled, things are working fine. I can press the two digits relatively fast or slow and it doesn't matter as both digits are always displayed on-screen and the tuner switches channels properly. I can't argue with success but I can still ponder the why.

I'm still not sure what the 'Fully transparent OSD' function does since my OSD appears equally transparent with it enabled or disabled.

Thanks sub.

I am unable to change the channel at all with the number keys on my remote. It's not a disaster as I can always use the TV Guiide to go to another channel but it would be satisfying to get them working. The log file shows the following:

21/08/2006 18:40:21.686 VERBOSE [9] User pressed: 3
21/08/2006 18:40:21.686 VERBOSE [9] MVP request processed
21/08/2006 18:40:21.706 VERBOSE [12] MVP async queue handling key: 3
21/08/2006 18:40:21.706 VERBOSE [12] No key mapping found for: D2

Any ideas what the problem might be?
