flippedcracker Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I just got my flirc today, and I already love it and it's worked right out of the gate. But I'm having issues with quick presses. If I hit an arrow key too quick, it seems to scroll a whole page, but I want every button press to be just one key press. I have to wait nearly a second between presses for it to not do a page scroll. Is there a fix for this? I'm using xbmc (pre-eden XBMCbuntu) with a Harmony 900, programmed on a win 7 machine. The Harmony is programmed as a Panasonic TC-P65VT30 per eskro's suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yes, there should be a configuration in your harmony software to change a delay for successive button presses. I actually haven't found this myself (nor have I really looked), but others on the forum have mentioned this. Maybe someone will chime in, or if you do find it, could you post back a screenshot or where it is? I'm sure this would help a lot of people. Just increase that delay to 200ms. Thanks for the good feedback, and let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippedcracker Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I've found the setting the Harmony software, and then I found () which says to set the delay to 0. I'll play around with it a bit and see what works best and let you know. default was 100 btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippedcracker Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 200ms didn't really do much, it just made it seem slower. 0ms does help, and I can press the buttons faster, but if I do a double press, it still does a page. I'm wondering if it's in the software, but double pressing a key on the keyboard doesn't have that same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Try experimenting with that delay, between 100ms - 200ms. Yes, 200ms will limit you to about 5 button presses a second, and if you click faster than every 200ms, the second press would be ignored. Every remote works differently, and I had to make an assumption that no person would really press a button faster than 6 times a second. ~166ms. I believe I gave it wiggle room and stuck it around 140 ms. Try playing with it, I'm sure you will find a happy spot. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjort111 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I did have the same problem. I played around with a lot of different devices and for my Harmony 1100 i find the "Sky PVR (HD)" is the best. With this device for my harmony i can click twice or more without the scrolling-effect. (I think i got the delay set to 0) Hope this will help you out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davinator Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I was having these issues as well, and I thought I'd post my solution. I'm using the Samsung LN46C650L1F manufacturer, and I have 0ms for my inter-key delay in the Harmony Remote Software. I am also using an IR repeater, which probably exasperated my problem. Even after using these tweaks that this community recommended, I was still having major issues with keys getting "stuck". I would press the down arrow twice, and it would scroll sometimes for 5-10 seconds. The final fix was to change a deep menu in the software, which I got from the user nooz over at the XBMC forums on this post. Fixed the issue of double inputs by decreasing the "number of repeats" (now nameless) under Device > Troubleshoot > Device responds to some commands either too many times or only occasionally. I changed it from 3 to 1 and the problem has now gone away. I hope this helps someone else, since I've spent a number of hours tweaking this like crazy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
