| Post subject: | Adding "lxdvdrip" to MythTV |
Hi! I want to add the program "lxdvdrip", which is a commandline utility, to the MythTV frontend menu. I know how to add buttons and link programs to it, but the thing is that the frontend stops responding while the program runs (in this case about an hour!). Is it possible to start the program in the background with still being able to use mythfrontend while the program is executed? This may be more of a linux question than a mythtv question... 
Thanks, Steve |

OK, I found out how to execute commands in the background in Linux! 
Code: command &
Now I have the problem that MythTV doesn't like the & with the EXEC command! It tells me that the menu file is incomplete and I can't even get into the menu. The console log says: Quote: at line: xx column: xx msg: letter is expected
Anyone know how I could solve this? |

put the command in a shell script and call that. something like Code: #!/bin/sh
command & don't forget to make the script executable. chmod +x scriptname.sh |

& amd XML don't get along. You need to substitue it with Code: & or following X's advice.
