trouble with power-buttom and 3rd party IR

2 replies

hi beo5/beo users!

 

i have a little problem configuring my power button with a 3rd party device.

the device itself (dvd-player) works perfectly with the beo 5. only the power putton makes a little trouble. although tv and dvd-player are turning off, the screen-navigation of the beo5 doesn't go back to my "home screen" and further shows the dvd device on the screen. usually, when you turn off your tv, for example, the beo5 automatically navigate you
back to your "home" zone. unfortunatly i can't configure my navigation, because it's greyscaled in my configuration tool (4.11). testing the button virtually in the tool just shows a black screen. 

a solution would make me happy

Hi Paddington,

I had the same problem and the solution that works for me is:

The macro assigned to standby hardkey containing 3rd party IR codes must be terminated by a b&o standby command.
