[ir] Web-based Remote Control

[MymsMan]

Apologies for inaccuracies in the old threads quoted,

In old 1.19 to 1.20 versions of ir pressing Yellow or Green buttons with the multi key macros would cause an immediate humax crash because they are repeating buttons and my old fat fingers are not fast enough to only generate a single button press action, running multiple macros simultaneously brought the humax down.

Early attempts to fix this (the block repeats option) didn't and @af123 was implementing another fix when he fell ill
I don't understand the Foreign flags either but it appears to be 1 on initial button press and 0 on generated repeats.

The good news is that this fix is in the current package 1.22 and Green and Yellow button macros now work correctly to change channels without crashing (when using the Humax remotes)

The F1 code introduces a 1 second pause as documented in the wiki

Humaxtv.log for pressing the Yellow button:-

The only oddity is that when using a LG magic remote that can operate the humax it only issues the first button press of the macro i.e. switches to channel 3 rather than 33 - from the log the macro processing doesn't complete.

This is not a real problem - the code can't really be expected to handle all of the myriad of other manufacturers remotes.

I hope this helps
