Repeat Button Function Not Working

[rausk]

Using the Mac OS app

I'm experiencing at least one issue–maybe more–with the repeat option when adding multiple functions to a single button on the controller. First, I'm only seeing odd intervals as options: 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are the counts that I can set. Second, and this is where it's a bit hard to tell what's happening because the commands that I'm queuing just don't appear to work, as far as I can tell each each command only happens once.

Thanks for the help!

Can you post your config?

Yes, the repeats are odd numbers at the moment.

Hi Jason!

Here's the config file. Can you explain how the odd numbers work? What if I want to repeat a command twice instead of 3x?

The repeat isn't the same as pressing the button, letting go, and pressing again, it's how many times the signal is sent out. It really only matters in a macro, but is also a minimum. So if I press quickly a button, it will send 3 packets. The TV wont receive this as 3 button presses. It's like a computer. The duration and repeat pattern depends on the TV.

Does that make any sense?

Ah, interesting. I think that I semi get it. What does send the signal of pressing the button, letting go, and pressing again? For example, I want to create a macro that involves navigating to the right 5x, but it sounds like the repeat feature isn't the right way to accomplish that. It also seems like I can't just add "CURSOR RIGHT" 5x in a row because the command can only be assigned 3x times in total.
