IR support for Sabrent SBT-TVFM

Hi folks, finally found a couple free hours and wrote support for the Sabrent
SBT-TVFM's remote; see attached.

It works, but there is one quite annoying issue: when pressing a button on the
remote, it repeats that keypress until another key is pressed. The remote
does not seem to send out anything on keyup, and I cannot figure out how else
to limit this within the scope of my patch. In searching for a solution, I
ran across a post by someone with the same problem, but the only thing he
came up with does not seem like a viable solution:


Suggestions please?

Finally, I think I've mapped all the remote keycodes to their most logical
equivalents, but I could not find suitable ones for the "Function" (there is
a separate mode key) and "+100" keys, so I have mapped them to KEY_F13 and
KEY_F14, respectively.

Michael.

I am attaching the patch that for my opinion will work fine. Can you
test it and if it works, we'll finish with that problem.

Thanks

I've been trying to get the IR working on the SBT-TVFM. How can I get a hold on your patch?

Thanks,

Miki

I found a mail list that contained the patch that was formerly attached, here (remove the spaces to get the correct url)
www. spinics. net/lists/vfl/msg14106.html
and here
www. spinics. net/lists/vfl/msg19520.html

I'm not quite sure how to implement it, but I have a feeling that it will be discussed somewhere on the video4linux site or on the lirc site.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, or has a copy of the lirc.conf or lircrc file(s) for the Sabrent SBT-TVFM remote control I would greatly appreciate it.
