mplayer can't use number pad keys

[aflist2@…]

hello,

i'd like to bind some functions to my number pad keys. mplayer seems to be misidentifying number pad keys.

i'm testing using KP4/KP_Left. xev correctly identifies the key.
numlock off:
state 0x0, keycode 83 (keysym 0xff96, KP_Left), same_screen YES,
numlock on:
state 0x10, keycode 83 (keysym 0xffb4, KP_4), same_screen YES,

with numlock on, mplayer processes it as the regular "4" above the qwerty. with numlock off, the key is misidentifed as two keypresses, always together. the single quote after the period is always missing.

No such problem here. When the console window has focus numpad either behaves like cursor key or numbers, depending on numlock, when the playback window has focus it detects the KP* events.
Your description sounds to me like your console window had focus and this one does not handle the cursor keys quite right (or at least not in a way MPlayer likes).

hello,

i tested and mplayer does correctly captures the key when the video window has focus.

my normal usage of mplayer displays the video on another X display where there is no mouse or window manager, so all input has to go into the mplayer console/terminal. i am using rxvt-unicode 8.9.

does rxvt have proper getch2 support?

i know the mingw rxvt has trouble with mplayer too... but its a crappy term anyways.

I know xterm works for me, but I do not know what exactly causes the problem.
The MinGW problem is a different one, MinGW builds of MPlayer do not support vt-100 or similar input but only input the way the windows commandline provides.

works for reimar > close bug.
