I guess you meant ir-common.c, after all.
I made a quick&dirty patch to ir-common.c and cx88-input.c that maps each
incoming RC5 frame to a key-press or a key-repeat event. The key-release
timeout is set to 280 ms. I tried blocking the IR beam for a couple of
seconds while holding the Volume+ button down. After I unblocked the beam,
the repeat events would continue.
Thanks to the patch, it is now possible to reach any line on long listings
such as the EPG menu, by holding the Down button and releasing it when the
selection mark reaches the line.
The only drawback in my patch is that it is sometimes hard to press a
repeating key (e.g., Channel+) quickly enough to only generate a key-press
event without any key-repeat. After all, it might be good to discard the
first key-repeat event. Do av7110 users have this problem?
It'd be nice if this patch could be polished and submitted to the kernel.
Are there any v4l-dvb developers on this list?
