| Post subject: | Restarting Frontend, and MythGame help |
Hi Guys I have just found and got working the excellent "Frets On Fire", a Guitar Hero clone, it's awesome. Whenever I exit out of the game it seems to "shrink" the X display so it is a tad less wide than was before, about 20%. Exiting out of menu to x (knoppmyth background) and going back in doesn't help. A Simple one for someone out there. Also, I have no idea how to add Frets on fire to the game list. I have adde d it as a player in the setup, with its full command line (which is /myth/tools/games/FretsOnFire/FretsOnFire), but it doesn't work. A little help please ??????? |

ctrl-alt-backspace should restart X (and the front end) for you without messing anything up. and that's not a typo; it's ctrl-alt-backspace not ctrl-alt-delete. |

Brilliant, thanks for the quick response. That does the trick, but I would like to know a command line method of doing it, so that I can build a wrapper script to do it automagically. (Also so I can create a script to be ran from irexec if the frontend ever locks up to restart the frontend). Also still waiting for some help as to how to add the game to the gamelist Thanx !!! |

FoF is a "PC game". Add it in the setup for MythGames. I'd suggest you read the MythTV docs and wiki. I'd aslo ask that you keep it to one topic per thread. |

Here is a script someone here posted a while ago that I have been using. Code: #!/bin/bash
# Script for powerbutton press on Mythtv. Double click (within # timeout) will reboot, single press will restart frontend # /home/mythtv/scripts/mypower.sh # # Adopted from someone a long time ago. Sorry for not # remembering who. DOUBLE_PRESS_TIMEOUT=2 SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0` OLDEST_SCRIPT_PID=`pgrep -o $SCRIPTNAME` OUR_PID=$$ # check if we are the oldest instance of this script if [[ "$OLDEST_SCRIPT_PID" == "$OUR_PID" ]] then killall mythfrontend sleep $DOUBLE_PRESS_TIMEOUT mythfrontend & else # this is a doublepress kill $OLDEST_SCRIPT_PID pkill xinit # sudo reboot fi I changed the double press from rebooting to just restarting X.
