POWER button fails to work in many UI contexts

Issue #154 resolved
prl created an issue

POWER works for me (using default settings POWER -> Standby long press POWER -> Power/Restart menu) in only a limited number of UI contexts.

The instructions in parentheses describe how to get to a context assuming that you are starting from LiveTV.

Contexts where POWER works:

  • LiveTV
  • Main Menu (MENU)
  • File Player (MENU>Videos>Recordings or MEDIA)
  • Playing recording (MENU>Videos>Recordings or MEDIA, then select and play)
  • Media player (MEUN>Music)
  • Power/Restart (MENU>Setup>Power)
  • Information (MENU>Setup>Information)
  • InfoBar (OK)

Almost everywhere else I tried, POWER and long-POWER fail. It fails, for example, in:

  • Subtitle menu (SUBTITLE)
  • Audio menu (AUDIO)
  • Remote help (HELP)
  • Teletext (TEXT, but then, nothing works in Teletext at the moment)
  • Setup (MENU>Setup, all screens that I tried)
  • File Browser (e.g. MENU>Videos>Internal HDD)
  • You Tube (MENU>Videos>You Tube)
  • Media Portal (MENU>Videos>Media Portal)
  • Graphical EPG (MENU>TV/RADIO>Program Guide)
  • MultiEPG (EPG)
  • InfoBar EPG (long-press EPG, 6)
  • Auto Timer setup (MENU>TV/RADIO>AutoTimer)
  • Timer setup (MENU>TV/RADIO>Timers)
  • Zap history (MENU>TV/RADIO>History)
  • Favourites (FAV)
  • Service List (UP/DOWN, or FAV, BLUE Favourites)
  • Program Information (INFO)
  • Last.FM (MENU>Music>Last.FM)
  • SHOUTCast (MENU>Music>SHOUTCast)
  • Picture Player (MENU>Photos)
  • Flickr (MENU>Photos>Flickr)
  • Web cams (MENU>Photos>Web cams)
  • Plugin Browser (MENU>Plugins)
  • AirPlayer setup (MENU>Plugins>AirPlayer)
  • GMail Reader (MENU>Plugins>GMail Reader)
  • IPTV List Updater (MENU>Plugins>IPTV List Updater, GREEN Start)
  • Weather Info (MENU>Plugins>Weather Info)
  • Web browser (MENU>Plugins>Web browser)

Reproduction steps

Enter the contexts using the instructions in the bug description and press POWER.

    It would be good to have a key combination that performs an unconditional / emergency enigma2 restart (or reboot). Something like POWER followed by HELP within 0.5 seconds, or 5 individual presses of POWER within 5 seconds (with no other keys in between)

    I tested a fair sample of the above and all seemed to respond with 20140416. I will leave if for PRL to definitively Close this bug.

    Note! I have Power configured as Power Menu and Long Power configured as Shutdown.
