[mythtv-users] command-line to control frontend

[Michael Watson]

Here is a python script that does that.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
#

import socket, time
from MythTV import MythDB


def shutdown_frontend(hostname):
     db = MythDB()
     frontend = db.getFrontend(hostname)
     location = frontend.sendQuery('Location')

    # If we are currently in playback, set bookmark before exiting
     if str.split(location)[0] == "Playback":
         frontend.key['enter']
         frontend.jump['mainmenu']
         location = frontend.sendQuery('Location')

     if location != "mainmenu":
         frontend.jump['mainmenu']

     # Shutdown Frontend
     frontend.key['escape']
     frontend.key['down']
     frontend.key['enter']
     time.sleep(5)


if __name__ == '__main__':
     frontendhostname = socket.gethostname()
     shutdown_frontend(frontendhostname)
