SendAction workaround for MythTV 0.28+
Closed this issue · 2 comments
As SendAction doesn't work in 0.28+ based on Trac bug reports and testing, similar functionality could be resolved by using SendKey. However, custom user keymaps could complicate that, requiring configuration capabilities to override default key sequences. Also, keys are not consistent between screens, which could cause a problem with control.
Is that Trac bug report this one: https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11916 ?
I read that report as not being a bug, but a recommendation to use SendKey instead of SendAction for remote control... though I don't understand why given the user customisation options for keys.
What functionality are we trying to achieve that we can't get because of this?
I'm actually just going to close this, as my system is also 0.28 and responds normally to SendAction. It's apparently just my VM system that I'd been testing on that is the problem. If future users have issues with 0.29 (when it's out of beta), we can deal with them at that time.
