Hi,

I have a Cypress MCE Remote and while it did not work at all with xbian 1.0a5, in the latest version of xbian with XBMC 12.1 it works at least partly. But each single key press is repeated many (up to a few hundred) times and makes the remote unusable. Sometimes the repetitions last up to >10 seconds (!).

The remote is mapped to lirc via devinput. I played around with the "repeat", "min_repeat" and other repeat/timing-related settings in devinput.conf already and with the settings "remoterepeat", "remotedelay" in advancedsettings.xml of XBMC, but to no avail.

Also tried the things suggested over here http://openelec.tv/forum/103-infared-remotes/26097-how-can-i-make-openelec-tv-with-standalone-lirc-support again to no avail.

To me it seems as the key press is not purged from the input buffer somehow after processing and not to come by with timing/delay settings.

Can somebody help?

This is the reaction to ONE key press.

Is it a bluetooth device?

so many devices has this "sticky keys" issue on RPi
I have had two USB wired keyboards and it has the same issue
not sure if there would be any fix for this

No, IR with USB IR receiver. As MCE it identifies itself as keyboard/mouse and sends keyboard key codes.
