#5929: Patch to support lirc reconnect
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous  |       Owner:  ijr    
     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  minor      |   Milestone:  0.21.1 
Component:  mythtv     |     Version:  unknown
 Severity:  medium     |     Mlocked:  0      
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 I use mythtv with lirc and an imon remote. The drive doesn't support
 acpi suspend.
 When I suspend the computer, I have to unload lirc modules and stop lircd.

 When I wake up the computer, il load the modules again et start lircd.
 The point is that mythtv lose its connection to lircd and doesn't
 reconnect to the new server.
 I can no longer use my remote.

 So I have patched mythtv to be able to reconnect to lircd whe mythtv
 receive a signal USR2. When I wake up the computer, I send USR2 to
 mythfrontend,
 it reconnects to lircd and the remote works again.

 Summary of changes
 ------------------
 In libmythui : mode the code to launch the lirc thread to an independant
 method called at init and when necessary
 In mythfrontend : create and bind a function to manage the signal USR2.
 It calls the libmythui function to launch a new lirc thread.
 In the Lirc code : modify the init of the class to first deinit lirc and
 close previous sessions (to prevent segfaults after multiple USR2).

 Version concerned
 -----------------
 mythtv 0.21_p19046 (gentoo version)
