A few people have asked about my lircrc setup with mythtv and
softsqueeze. Below are the relevant parts of my .lircrc file:

##########SOFTSQUEEZE##########################

begin
button = right
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
config = Key b SoftSqueeze
#config = Key Right SoftSqueeze
end

begin
button = left
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
#config = Key Left SoftSqueeze
config = Key z SoftSqueeze
end

# menu navigate up
begin
button = up
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
config = Key Up SoftSqueeze
end

# menu navigate down
begin
button = down
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
config = Key Down SoftSqueeze
end

begin
button = enter
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
config = Key x SoftSqueeze
end

begin
button = play
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
config = Key x SoftSqueeze
end

begin
button = pause
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
config = Key c SoftSqueeze
end

begin
button = cancel
prog = irxevent
repeat = 0
config = Key q SoftSqueeze
end



#begin
#button = ff
#prog = irxevent
#config = Key b SoftSqueeze
#end

#begin
#button = fr
#prog = irxevent
#config = Key z SoftSqueeze
#end

begin
button = epg
prog = irxevent
config = Key ctrl-w SoftSqueeze
end


################# any(global) ################
begin 
    prog = irexec
    button = blue
    mode = select
    config = /usr/bin/runsoftsqueeze
end

#begin 
#    prog = irexec
#    button = yellow
#    mode = select
#    config = /usr/bin/stopsoftsqueeze
#end

The "runsoftsqueeze" script just does a java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar (I
think). Obviously you need irexec and irxevent for any of this to work.

I do have a problem with it exiting - when it exits it seems to hit
enter on whatever mythtv was on when softsqueeze was started. It's no
biggie for me though.

Have fun
