MythMainWindow::TranslateKeyPress bug?

[anonymous]

When watching live tv and with the "Program Guide" jump point and "GUIDE" in TV Playback context are both set to 'S' I see a flash of the live tv in guide screen before the "Program Guide" page renders?

I have placed some debug VERBOSE statements in tv_play.cpp and mythmainwindow.cpp and have noticed that:

• When watching live tv and I hit 'S' that ignoreKeys is false when TV::ProcessKeypress?() is called.

• This means the first TranslateKeyPress?()@2188 won't be run.

• The jump point is scheduled by TranslateKeyPress?("ITV Menu",...)@2257 and the return is false and program flow continues.

• The call gContext->GetMainWindow?()->TranslateKeyPress?("TV Playback",...)@2266 return true so program flow continues and the GUIDE action is launched @3072.

• It is slightly after the GUIDE is displayed (the video isn't painted yet) that the jump point kicks in and switches to the Program Guide.

• This could happen for any jumppoint and local action that shares the same keybinding as far as I can tell.

Two questions:

Q1/ Should MythMainWindow::TranslateKeyPress? first check to see if a jump point is currently queued (!d->exitmenucallback == NULL) and simply return false if it is?

Q2/ Should there be a test for jump points at the start of TV::ProcessKeypress?() so they are handled before all the other stuff?

Attached is the patch to insert the debug statements I used.

PS: I posted on the -dev list but it didn't get any response so I created the ticket...

Just to bring this ticket up (again), when I had the jumpoint for guide set to S my LiveTV went into an endless loop of flash-guide/flash-tv/flash-guide/flash-tv. Don't know if it helps, but meh.

Ticket was #2668.
