Is this normal?

That is for a single press of the button. It uses a serial device and I am wondering why I am seeing an event from Generic X10 Remotes when I only have the UR81A remote that I added.

Yeah, it's possible that your remote repeats. Set the anti-repeat in the action to a value of about 500 (ms) That should fix it.

Done that already.. even set it to 1000ms and doesn't help. I beleive it's because your Generic Serial Plugin is too inefficient. The remote sends out up to a 19 character length signal. Your plugin has no settings for length at all. In 3.3 the serial ini could be set to fix this but 4.x has serious issues with serial devices.

Pause capture: 213 170 238 114 173
Play capture: 213 170 238 176 173
Stop capture: 213 170 238 112 173

You see how similar the commands are? This is an MR26A and without being able to specify in your generic plugin the commands show up as repeats, wrong commands, ect. Your serial plugin needs some serious work to give us the capability to set items like character length. Especially since it's very easy to get a duplicate command sent since it's using IR.. so that the command is repeated twice.

with length setting it would know to ignore anything after the first. This is how uIce did their serial port setting and it works correctly everytime.

Use the mapping editor. If you don't know how to use it read the manual.

Molitar, were you able to solve the issue with the UR81A and the MR26A? THey worked fine with Girder 3.3 and the old serial plugin, but now I'm having the same issues as you mentioned. I've figured out there is some .lua files that are used to configure the input device correctly, but I don't have any idea on how to configure it.

Currently testing Girder 4.0.4.2 and no success until now. The target is to use it together with TVedia.

Thanks.

Why version 4.0.4.2?
