Plus/Minus keys do no change the volume about xbmc-wiimote HOT 6 CLOSED

hi
is there any news about this bug ?
is the original version has the same bug ? if you show were to find it i can test of course
thanx for your help,
i think a lot of ppl are interested for the raspberrypi

from xbmc-wiimote.

I have actually looked a lot at the with XBMC included client, and AFAICS I am doing the exact same thing...

I haven't found a good way to debug this, really... I can see the keys being sent, but then, even with XBMC in debug mode, they don't turn up at the XBMC side. So, unfortunately, no, no new news.

I briefly looked into the issue, but was not able to find the cause for this problem also. However, I did find a workaround using default PacketACTION signals for Volume up and down. I'm not very familiar with git or github, but you should be able to see the code in my fork. I only briefly tested a very basic implementation. If you want to include it, you might want to add repeat-until-release for this signal and such. Hope this helps!

I think I found the solution for this bug:

It seams that the Python implementation for PacketBUTTON is slightly diffent from the one for C++, which ist used by xbmc-wiiremote (there + and - Buttons are working).

So I used ngrep to check what is sent by UDP and found out, that the difference is in the flags, sent with packetBUTTON.

In line 221 of xbmc-remote, I changed the default paramter "amount" to "None" instead of "0":
packet = PacketBUTTON(code=int(code), map_name=str(map_name), queue=queue, repeat=repeat, amount=None)

The +/- Buttons for volume are working correctly now.

Hope this helps,
Thanks for your effort for implementing this nice tool, by the way!
