Re: Not working well with Hulu Desktop

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
 
Since repetitions of start-repeat-end sequences could also come from 
multiple *real* button presses, trying to ignore them would break 
support for long presses of correctly functioning, original Apple 
Remotes in favor of fixing a single universal remote profile that 
seems to not send codes the way it should. That of course is something 
I won't do.

 
I can understand that, but right now every action in Remote Buddy *does* work right with the bad codes, with the single exception of the actions in the Hulu Desktop behavior. The bad codes also work right with all the Apple apps and with Plex when RB is not running, with no duplicate presses being registered.

The "Navigation Up" action in Hulu Desktop must be doing something differently than the virtual keyboard "cursor up" action that causes the former to repeat and the latter not to repeat. Is it just passing the remote codes through to Hulu Desktop, perhaps? Maybe I should try Hulu Desktop without RB running and see if it duplicates the presses.
