| Post subject: | Map Power Button To Start Frontend |
Just wondering if anyone has mapped a remote button to start the frontend Every once and a while I exit out of the frontend. And would like to be able to start it backup with using the remote I have R6.03 with a pvr350 and silver remote I know alt+m starts the frontend Would this work begin prog = mythtv button = Power config = Alt,m Not sure how to have it act as two key pressed together. |

Not specifically a solution to send the Alt-m but my reading of the lirc configure page makes me believe this would work: http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html Code: begin
button = Power prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = mythfrontend& end This should launch the frontend every time you hit the power button. Which of course might be dangerous. Perhaps write a script that is called instead of mythfrontend directly - in the script make sure mythfrontend is not running before starting another. |

This works like a champ: Code: [mihanson@zotac ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/restartmyth.sh #!/bin/bash if [ "$(pidof mythfrontend)" ] ; then sudo killall mythfrontend sleep 0.5 /usr/bin/mythfrontend -d -l /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log & else /usr/bin/mythfrontend -d -l /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log & fi If mythfrontend is running, kill it and then restart it. If mythfrontend is not running, start it. lircrc: Code: # Restart a hung frontend
begin prog = irexec button = POWER config = /usr/local/bin/restartmyth.sh & end |
