How to zap more than 10 channels via remote

[esperado]

Lars asked-me my version: It is the last beta.

Just i do not find a way: "Learn" only take one input and can only be mapped to 0 to 9 favourite/channels.

Because there is only 10 buttons on the remote, the only way would be that the prog takes two inputs (1+2 for an example) to goes to channels greater than 9 (here 12).

Seems it does not work that way.

Please, please, any tip ?

Please use the apropriate forum part for posting! -> moved.

 

What are you doing? simply press 1 and 2 and you get favorite 12 if you configured the numbers for favorites. It's the same like the channelselection.

Sorrry, it was not so obvious where to post-it.

Well, something like a bug:

Favourites and channels are listed from 0 to 9 in DVBViewer :-(

So, if you swap your first channel, you have to press 0.

Reason why i had mapped the key "1" to favourite "0", 2 to 1, and key 0 to favourite 9. And it was not working with repeated inputs(or crash, or only the last key), as 1+0 command was doing 0+9).

See what i mean ? (and old programation story).

Ok, i' had put now a fake channel in first place in favourite and channels, and mapped 1 to 1, 2 to 2 etc and it is perfect now. May-be that can be corrected ?

 

Thanks for your help, Lars.

Well you are telling me, you didn't like the concept of starting at 0 and so remapped all keys to point one lower and then wondering, why you can't select 2 digits channel propperly and complain it as a bug??

 

I'm sorry but you can't be serious.

I'm a programmer too. And a human beeing. As a human, i number from 1 to where i want. Not from 0.

The crash with 0+x was the bug.

It is currently admited that channel 0 is reserved on remotes for composite inputs, or so on.

Realy, don't you thing it should be better, and more intuitive to number from 1 ?

I was not complaining, i can mannage-it. Just a remark to help your nice prog being better.

 

BTW: did-you see my two posts with files about channels for France and Pinnacle remote ?

Did-you plan to use them in your prog, or put thoses files in the download area for they will be not lost for the community ?

I was waiting a remark about the 166/167 offset prob with scan i submited.

That's no excuse. A handicap maybe but no excuse
