[linux-dvb] DVB Driver for DiBcom's DiB7000M does not support the remote control for the kaiserbass TVStick

I have purchased the  kaiserbass TVStick product ID 'KBA01007-KB DVD-T 
USB TUNER WITH 2 GB MEMORY'. The Linux-DVB Driver for DiBcom's DiB7000M 
driver works very well for video, but the software driver does not 
support the slim 28 key remote control provided by  kaiserbass.

The evidence is the error codes in the system log. For example pressing 
any key causes a system log error, the volume up key results in the 
system error message:

2010-11-14 13:07:26    Capulet    kernel    [10464.828505] dib0700: 
Unknown remote controller key: 0000 2b d4


I tried adding a new set of key codes to the DiB7000M-devices.c file i.e.

{ 0x2bd4, KEY_VOLUMEUP },

but this did not work, perhaps I have used the wrong conversion or 
format for the key values.
Here are the key values from the system error messages

KEY_MUTE            0AF5
KEY_SOURCE          38C7
KEY_SCREEN          0FF0
KEY_POWER           0CF3
KEY_1               01FE
KEY_2               02FD
KEY_3               03FC
KEY_4               04FB
KEY_5               05FA
KEY_6               06F9
KEY_7               07F8
KEY_8               08F7
KEY_9               09F6
KEY_0               00FF
KEY_UP              20DF
KEY_ESC             29D6
KEY_FASTFORWARD     1EE1
KEY_LEFT            11EE
KEY_OK              0DF2
KEY_RIGHT           10EF
KEY_VOLUMEUP        2BD4
KEY_CHANNELUP       12ED
KEY_DOWN            21DE
KEY_STOP            0BF4
KEY_CHANNELDOWN     13EC
KEY_VOLUMEDOWN      2CD3
KEY_SCREEN_COPY     0EF1
KEY_RECORD          1FEO

Re: [linux-dvb] DVB Driver for DiBcom's DiB7000M does not support the remote control for the kaiserbass TVStick

[David Wilson]

This is my first attempt at working on a linux driver and I need some
assistance.

I have purchased the  kaiserbass TVStick product ID 'KBA01007-KB DVD-T
USB TUNER WITH 2 GB MEMORY'. The Linux-DVB Driver for DiBcom's DiB7000M
driver works very well for video, but the software driver does not
support the slim 28 key remote control provided by  kaiserbass.

The driver has support coded for several ir remote devices but not for
the unbranded slim 28 key one supplied with my tuner.

The  driver reports unrecognised remote key sequences it receives, for
example, the volume up key results in the system error message:

2010-11-14 13:07:26    Capulet    kernel    [10464.828505] dib0700:
Unknown remote controller key: 0000 2b d4

I tried adding a new set of key codes to the DiB7000M-devices.c file i.e.

{ 0x2bd4, KEY_VOLUMEUP },

and compiled and tested it but this did not work, the driver still
reports the keys as unrecognised. Perhaps I have used the wrong
conversion or format for the key values.

I have looked at the MS Windows driver configuration that came with the
tuner - modrc.infl, it defines the volume up key as:

HKR,,"ReportMappingTable",0x00000001,\
   \;0x01,<SystemMSB>,<SystemLSB>,<Data>, <Flags>, ...
....
 0x01,0x00,0x00,0x2C, 0x0B, 0x04,0x00,0x42,  \ ; AC volume up
......

I can not see the relationship between controller reported in the system
log - key: 0000 2b d4 and MS defined - 0x01,0x00,0x00,0x2C, 0x0B,
0x04,0x00,0x42

So there seems to de some some code conversion going on or incorrect
reporting of the key input.

Can anyone  assist me with this ?
