When I want to watch videos, it looks like my remote is locked. I can't use the remote again until the video has finished.

So i ssh'ed into my mythtv box and tried to start mplayer from there:

Quote:

mythtv@mythtvbox:~$ mplayer /myth/video/somevideo.mpg
MPlayer 1.0pre6-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team

To get best performance, recompile MPlayer with --disable-runtime-cpudetection.

Playing /myth/video/somevideo.mpg.

anybody came across this?

Do you have a whole bunch of buttons defined for mplayer in your lircrc file?

Because as far as lirc is concerned its no longer mythtv thats running but mplayer, you need a bunch of extra sections that look like

Code:

begin
     button = VOL+
     prog = mplayer
     config = volume 1
     repeat = 1
end
begin
     button = VOL-
     prog = mplayer
     config = volume -1
     repeat = 1
end

Note the prog line says mplayer? A quick google will find loads of example files and the mplayer docs have all the config strings you'll need. You just have to match up the button definition from your lircd.conf file to the config values that mplayer expects.
