Does that mean that quite of a few of you are using the XBMC frontend<br>
for almost everything?<br>
What's your feedback?<br>
And does it all work with a remote control?<br>
And does anyone have it working on CentOS 5.x?<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I'm using XBMC for all my non tv media watching. I have it added to the main menu in mythtv, and the power button on the remote is set to pkill it if it's running (so it's a 1 button press back to myth.) Works well.<br>
<br>This is a MCE remote using lirc.<br><br>In .mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/mainmenu.xml I have:-<br><br><button><br><type>SETTINGS_VIDEO</type><br><text>XBMC</text><br><action>EXEC /home/mythtv/bin/startxbmc.sh</action><br>
</button><br><br>The startup script is just to make sure I uses the correct version of the shared samba library, (I'm building xbmc from source on debian and there's a problem with the supplied version.) if this isn't an issue you can just execute the binary from here.<br>
<br>I also have in my .lircrc:-<br><br>begin<br> button = Power<br> prog = irexec<br> repeat = 0<br> config = /home/mythtv/bin/killfrontend.sh<br>end<br><br>Where 'killfrontend.sh' is:-<br><br>#!/bin/bash<br>if [ "`pgrep xbmc`" ];then<br>
pkill -9 xbmc<br>else<br> pkill -9 mythfrontend<br>fi<br><br><br>Which gives me 1 press of the power button to kill xbmc, another press to kill mythfrontend (so mythshutdown can do it's thing.)<br><br>Cheers,<br>
