Opie-keypebble Vnc And Mythtv
« on: February 04, 2006, 04:53:44 pm »
Hi,

I have a problem using opie-keypebble VNC client.

When I try to control my HTPC (MythTV 0.18.1) I have to use ESC (Zaurus Cancel key) to go back to "previous" menu. The problem is that this same key EXIT's the VNC client software!!!
As far as i know there are no possibilities to config MythTV to use a different key for this.

I am now using Sharp ROM and Meanie's keyhelper.xml.

Anyone having a solution?

I have tried other VNC clients (java-based) but no luck so far...

I have no problems with TightVNC or RealVNC client on my Win XP computer controlling MythTV because it doesn't exit when ESC key is hit.

EDIT: I found this on MythTV homepage (I had forgotten mythweb, not tried it yet);
"The keys.txt file describes what the various keyboard commands are. If you have loaded mythweb, you may change the default keys to your liking."

SL-C1000 ROM? with Linksys WCF12 WiFi.
Server running SuSE Linux 8.2
Digimatrix HTPC running SuSE Linux 9.2 and MythTV

Solution:
You could edit databasetable "keybindings" directly or install mythweb and use keybindings setup. I solved my problem by changing keybinding from Esc to Tab,Esc.
Now it works OK from VNC client.
