Hi,

I'm describing a problem of events occurring in XBMC 11.0 and SDL 1.2.14 on a openSuse 12.1 64 bits. the input device is a MCE usb remote.

The problem I am having is that if I push the same button on the remote quickly, two times, the key event representing the button will occur more than two times in XBMC.

So, to narrow down the problem, I tested the following piece of code coming from SDL web site. The problem was the same as in XBMC.

XBMC calls SDL_EnableKeyRepeat method with a repeat of 10.
During my test, a value of 500 was running without a problem.

Could you look into this please ?

Thx
