Ok, version 1.1.30 is now making its way up to extras-devel, with mostly fixes to the intervalometer. I think what may have been happening is that I didn't have enough of a delay between the simulated button press and the simulated button release. (Then again, it could just be that Qt timers just aren't reliable when you lock the screen. I'm probably going to have to do some more homework here.)

Well, I've done both -- I've put the hardcoded delay feature back onto the "Camera" panel, and added a configurable initial pause to the Intervalometer panel.

I managed to crash the lirc server thingy.

Code:
Failed to connect to /dev/lirc0
Error is Device or resource busy
This has happened in the past when Pierogi's control thread gets swamped with command requests, and ends up becoming a zombie process in the background. I thought I had all that fixed, but odds are that playing with the intervalometer is causing that to happen again. (It shouldn't be anything to do with the vip1853 keyset...)

...the rest of all my IR controlled system are much easier to be controlled and I don't have to do crazy yoga poses to get it change channel.
Hmm. I've gotta admit, I'm running out of ideas. I think I'm now reproducing exactly the same signal that worked for the hifi-remotes guys. I have been finding some other odd results from people trying to control the vip1853/1903 with universal remotes, though...

But you are now using STB and Set-Top Box terms both, samsung has the term Set-Top Box all other manufacturers have the term STB.
Ah, you are absolutely right! I've changed everything to STB in the current release. Hopefully everybody will understand what STB stands for.

Your tabbutton already reminds me of the "new tab" button of my browser, why not allow the user to create a panel with tabs to user liking.

...

For consistency sake and keeping pierogi as a single style remote we should keep the tabs in everysituation the same, however the mix of which tabs should be configurable.
Hmm. That sounds like it'd be easier to do than setting up entire custom layouts of buttons. Let me look into it...
