RC Support on TT-S2400 devices (ttusb2)

RC Support on TT-S2400 devices (ttusb2)

[Ernst Bachmann]

Hi,

I'm using a Technotrend S2400 USB DVB-S Receiver (driver is ttusb2).
That device includes a IR Remote Control.

I was wondering if there was a specific reason why the RC receiver is
not supported by the ttusb2 driver?

The protocol seems to be identical to the one used by the CT-3650 Device
(in the same driver).

I simply re-compiled the driver with the .rc.core initializer copied
from ttusb2_properties_ct3650
to ttusb2_properties_s2400, and the remote seems to be working fine.

I don't know if it runs stable over a longer period, some other post I
found mentioned there might be a timing problem with RC-Polling
interrupting other accesses?

However, it would be great to have working RC Support for that device
out-of-the box (without recompile) sometime in the future, so I'd really
appreciate if you could look into it.


Thanks in advance,
