[mythtv-users] help wanted

[Xi Jiarong]

Dear Mike
Thanks a lot for your kind help and indication.
You are right, there are in fact not good choices for this point.
Now, I also adopted your 2nd suggestion, and now it works well.
Meanwhile, I have another problem:
How to shutdown MythTV from external command from terminal in Linux or
external Java program?

Thanks a lot:)

Jerry


>OK.  Here are two other ways:

>1) shut down mythfrontend before starting the new app and start
>mythfrontend after closing the new app

>2) stop using Myth's native LIRC support and instead use irxevent to
>send X events /only/ to the focused app.

>I know it's not what you want to hear, but there are really no good

>stop listening to LIRC events (save one that re-enables LIRC).

>LIRC's mode support is probably the closest thing to what you want, but
>you have to work to get it (it's a challenge to set up) and it has its
