Thema: RCU Button

Context button on my Amiko vipercombohdd RCU does not work. No response from the box at all.
Looking at IR of RCU with mobile phone camera, I can see the IR is flashing when I press the button.
The button works OK on virtual RCU in OpenWebif. It shows extension selection menu when clicked.
Also Hotkey Setup is possible in OpenWebif interface as the printscreen shows.



Any idea what could be wrong?

Hi again

Just an idea: Maybe you have to change to another remote control driver? Seems to be that the RCU-button is "unknown" due to using "not correct" remote control driver? Maybe there are existing some RC-designs for your box...?

You find this under "Extended GUI -> Input devices" (example for a Mut@nt HD51, RCs have been delivered by image)

Hi Mr.Servo,
I have dreambox advanced remote control (native) in my image.
I asked s3n0 yesterday, to check his Formuler F4 Turbo, because RCU of Formuler looks exactly the same as mine.
His button works. So the question is: what is the Formuler's input device?

Regards, smilan1

Sorry, I have no further ideas.

But follow this thread in the next days, maybe a solution will occure here. @feedhunter will have the same problem with his F3 and F4 keys on his RCU.

I've got an information, that on Formuler 4 Turbo running OpenATV 6.4 Context button works.

Can someone who owns that box help here?

E.g.
- what is the box Input device? Is different from dreambox advanced remote control (native)?
- what is the code in debug mode that box receives when the Context button is pressed? Is it "438"?
- keyids.py
- keymap.xml
- or anything else involved

Thanks in advance.
