View Full Version : PCTV plugin repeating wrong codes

I've observed the next strange behaviour with repeat-codes.

When using repeat-codes, if I maintain a key pressed:
- First I get the non-repeat code for that key, which is normal.
- Then I get several times the repeating code for that key, which is also normal.
- But then, I start getting codes from OTHER keys. The "PCTV Up-R" and "PCTV Down-R" codes, to be more precise.
- Since that moment I only get "PCTV Up-R" and "PCTV Down-R" codes when pressing any key. The only way to getting it normal again is to restart Girder.

It seems a buffer overrun to me.

That makes the repeat-codes unuseful, because unexpected actions are triggered when maintaining a key pressed. Please, could the author take a look at it?

Tested with WinXP SP1, Girder 3.2.9 and PCTV plugin 0.5.

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem and others (Interference with tv remote control ...) with pctv??.dll plugin so I decided to use pctvremote.dll plugin. It works fine for me.

Solved. You were right, my remote was lacking batteries.

Sorry for the annoyance. I feel a bit silly. :-/
