************************
Remote controller tables
************************

Unfortunately, for several years, there was no effort to create uniform
IR keycodes for different devices. This caused the same IR keyname to be
mapped completely differently on different IR devices. This resulted
that the same IR keyname to be mapped completely different on different
IR's. Due to that, V4L2 API now specifies a standard for mapping Media
keys on IR.

This standard should be used by both V4L/DVB drivers and userspace
applications

The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input
layer. This means that the IR key strokes will look like normal keyboard
key strokes (if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled). Using the event
devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for applications to access
the remote via /dev/input/event devices.

It should be noted that, sometimes, there some fundamental missing keys
at some cheaper IR's. Due to that, it is recommended to:


.. _rc_keymap_notes:

.. flat-table:: Notes
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0


    -  .. row 1

       -  On simpler IR's, without separate channel keys, you need to map UP
	  as ``KEY_CHANNELUP``

    -  .. row 2

       -  On simpler IR's, without separate channel keys, you need to map
	  DOWN as ``KEY_CHANNELDOWN``

    -  .. row 3

       -  On simpler IR's, without separate volume keys, you need to map
	  LEFT as ``KEY_VOLUMEDOWN``

    -  .. row 4

       -  On simpler IR's, without separate volume keys, you need to map
	  RIGHT as ``KEY_VOLUMEUP``
