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



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:



If mythfrontend is running, kill it and then restart it. If mythfrontend is not running, start it.

lircrc:
