I did a fresh install on a new hard drive on my myth box

I coppied over my savedfiles.tar.gz and extracted lircrc and lirc.conf

I have noticed the origonals are now both in /etc/

not /etc/lirc
/home/mythtv/.mythtv

so do i need to copy mine to /etc now

the reason i ask is i have no volume control at the moment the volume % goes up and down but dosnt actually do anything

i fixed this in my old R5.27 version by creating a volup /down .sh command and mapping the volume keys to that and i would like to restore this functionality.

like this

Volup.sh

Code:

amixer -c0 set PCM 1.5dB+

also i had a button for restarting the frontend if it locked up

mypower.sh

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 
    sudo reboot 
fi

I would like to get this back as it gave the mrs a button to push if it all went wrong, know she just shouts me.

Yep I have just been through the V6 thing and had a few drama's. Anyway this is what I did to get it to work:

Place the following script in /usr/LH/bin and do the usual chmod +x

Code:

#!/bin/bash

FirstClickFile="/home/mythtv/.FirstClick"
maxClickTime=3

FirstClick() {
 date > $FirstClickFile
 # echo DEBUG: FirstClick!
 exit
}

SecondClick() {
 # If the time between the first and the second click was less than $maxClickTime, restart mythfrontend
 timeSinceLastClick=$(expr $(date +"%G%m%d%H%M%S") - $(date -f /home/mythtv/.FirstClick +"%G%m%d%H%M%S"))

 if [ "$timeSinceLastClick" -lt "$maxClickTime" ]; then
  # echo DEBUG: SecondClick!
  # sudo killall -s 9 mythfrontend
  sudo /sbin/reboot
 else
  FirstClick
 fi

 rm -f $FirstClickFile
 exit
}

[ -f "$FirstClickFile" ] || FirstClick
SecondClick 

The add a lirc item to fire it up on the second FAST click as follows:

Code:

begin
   prog = irexec
   button = pcoff
   config = /usr/LH/bin/mythrestart.sh
end 

Obvious my script is called mythrestart.sh and this is for a DVICO remote so yours will be a different button. Give me a yell if you need more details. Kudos for the script goes elsewhere I just made it fit my system.
