X-NEWA 2.5.4 & knew4v5 2.6.6 both "Die" when pressing Previous Chapter in LE

[BrettB]

I'm currently running LE 9.0.2, but also saw this problem in 9.0.1. With both X-NEWA 2.5.4 and knew4v5 2.6.6, when I press the Previous Chapter button, X-NEWA/knew4v5 basically hangs/dies. It doesn't handle the keypress (in the TV Guide to go back to the previous day) plus after it happens, then I can't get any key to work and end up having to reboot the rPi.

Looking in the logs, I see this when it happens:

Code:

I'm thinking that it may be an LE "bug/feature" that the KEY_PREVIOUS is being mapped to "pause" by default now. (They changed some of the default remote keymappings with LE 9, so to get it to work as expected, the user keymap needs to explicitly remap those buttons.) I can check on that. However, X-NEWA/knew4v5 probably needs to handle the exception error that gets thrown and not just hang/die.

Here's a little more of the log which shows the Next Chapter button working followed by the Previous Chapter button not working:

Interestingly, the Next Chapter button also seems to be mapped to something "strange"--"sleep":

Code:

2019-05-19 10:47:47.301 T:1937055760   DEBUG: HandleKey: sleep (0xdf) pressed, action is SkipNext

But that one seems to work just fine.

Thanks I broke something along the way when testing with the OSD guide. Next/Prev and Up/Down have multiple meanings and I am treating them differently in video playback but I am not sure why I special case them, they seem reversed to me right now.

Is this fixed now please?

[mvallevand]

Sorry k, I missed your post, it is fixed in the next version but you will have to install another client from the repo.
