[SOLVED] double key presses with GPIO IR receiver

Code:

sudo mode2

and see what the output is per key press.
You may need to stop lirc if you get an error about device /dev/lirc is busy

Code:

sudo lirc stop

Also can you try adding

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<remotedelay>10</remotedelay>
</advancedsettings>

to /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
and restart xbmc.

Terminal

sudo stop xbmc
sudo start xbmc

Hi Iridium,

thanks for your reply...

I have added the remotedelay in the advancedsettings.xml, after that the remote does not work at all, I took this out again.

mode2 is fine and the next step running irw is working fine as well, all keys show correctly and only once in the ssh session :

00000000000efba4 00 KEY_RIGHT test
00000000000efba7 00 KEY_UP test
00000000000efba6 00 KEY_DOWN test
00000000000efba5 00 KEY_LEFT test
00000000000efba3 00 KEY_OK test
00000000000efbfe 00 KEY_NUMERIC_1 test
00000000000efbfd 00 KEY_NUMERIC_2 test
00000000000efbfc 00 KEY_NUMERIC_3 test


Then again, the issue is that if I now put KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN, KEY_LEFT, KEY_RIGHT in Lircmap.xml like this
<left>KEY_LEFT</left>
<right>KEY_RIGHT</right>
<up>KEY_UP</up>
<down>KEY_DOWN</down>
<select>KEY_OK</select>
<start>KEY_HOME</start>
<back>KEY_EXIT</back>
...
and then use the remote the 4 keys above register TWICE
all other keys (KEY_OK, KEY_HOME,... ) register only once as it should be.

This is probably an issue with XBian, I have tried OpenElec and Raspbmc with the same lircd.conf and Lircmap.xml and there it works correctly. I would like to get this to work in XBian though.
