[Bug 779835] Re: mythbuntu-lircrc-generator generates duplicate keys for devinput

 

Same happens with DVico Fusion controllers. This is due to two remotes
being configured with the same name

/usr/share/lirc/remotes/dvico$ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10353 2006-05-06 14:38 lircd.conf.fusionHDTV


/usr/share/lirc/remotes/dvico$ grep name lircd.conf.fusionHDTV
  name  DVICO
  name  DVICO_MCE          <==== this causes mythbuntu-lircrc-generator 
  name  DVICO_MCE          <==== to create duplicate entries
  name  DViCO_Utraview

Title:
  mythbuntu-lircrc-generator generates duplicate keys for devinput

Status in “mythbuntu-lirc-generator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythbuntu-lirc-generator

  In Natty 11.04 (possibly other versions affected as well), when
  configuring lirc to use "Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX)" it
  updates /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to read the
  devinput/lircd.conf.devinput file, which contains two remote setups,
  one normal, and one "legacy 32-bit".

  Because there are two remote setups in there, when running mythbuntu-
  lircrc-generator it parses the file and generates two duplicate sets
  of controls in the lircrc output files. Every button press on the
  remote control is then entered twice.

  In the short term, can be manually resolved by editing either
  lircd.conf.devinput or the generated lircrc files to remove
  duplicates.

  Fix could be to have mythbuntu-lircrc-generator check that each key
  hasn't already been defined when generating the lircrc output files.
