[mythtv-users] Event script oddities

[Thomas Boehm]

Hi all,

I use the following event scripts on my backend

EventCmdLivetvStarted: /usr/local/bin/mythtv_livetvstarted.sh %HOSTNAME%

EventCmdLivetvEnded: /usr/local/bin/mythtv_event_livetvstopped.sh %HOSTNAME%

EventCmdPlayStarted: /usr/local/bin/mythtv_event_playbackstarted.sh 
%HOSTNAME%

EventCmdPlayStopped: /usr/local/bin/mythtv_event_playbackstopped.sh 
%HOSTNAME%


EventCmdPlayStarted and EventCmdPlayStopped run fine and the %HOSTNAME% 
variable is filled correctly.

Starting thread for command 
'/usr/local/bin/mythtv_event_playbackstarted.sh desktop'
...
Starting thread for command 
'/usr/local/bin/mythtv_event_playbackstopped.sh desktop'


But the variable %HOSTNAME% is not filled, when the livetv scripts are 
executed. Then the literal string "%HOSTNAME%" is used instead.

Also, when livetv stops, both scripts for EventCmdLivetvEnded and 
EventCmdPlayStopped are executed, in both cases with %HOSTNAME% not filled.

Starting thread for command '/usr/local/bin/mythtv_livetvstarted.sh 
%HOSTNAME%'
...
Starting thread for command 
'/usr/local/bin/mythtv_event_playbackstopped.sh %HOSTNAME%'
Starting thread for command 
'/usr/local/bin/mythtv_event_livetvstopped.sh %HOSTNAME%'

Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?


Thanks

Thomas
