Hi,
I have gotten pretty far with this but am now stuck. I added this to
default/mainmenu.xml
<button>
<type>TV_WATCH_TV</type>
<text>Google Chrome</text>
<description>Launch Chrome</description>
<action>EXEC DISPLAY=":0.0" chromium-browser --fullscreen</action>
</button>
But it launches on the terminal display and not on the TV. The thing that
has me stuck is that in nvidia setup I only have display 0 and it is 0.0
and it list both the terminal and the TV under that single entry. I
checked the TV as the main display.
I opened a terminal on both the terminal display and the TV and issued this
command
printenv | grep DISPLAY and sure enough, they both show DISPLAY=":0.0"
Myth starts on the TV but there were no clews in the autostart command.
I guess what is happening is that both displays look like a single display
where the TV has an offset equal to the width of the terminal display. I
can drag Chrome over to the TV and make it full screen, which is what I
would like to happen automatically. But Myth acts as expected, just Chrome
does not.
So how do I distinguish between these physical displays so that Chrome will
open on the main display?
