Although I do question your use case -<br>
really, if a button on your Myth remote turns your amp on and off how<br>
lazy do you need to be to need it to power automatically? It seems<br>
like a lot more work to set something like this up than it is to<br>
simply hit "power" from your easy chair. But to each his own.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>The idea is to not have to worry about the state of the amplifier, the amp just takes care of itself. I dont think I said to put amp on and amp-off buttons on the myth controller, the amp state would be purely controlled by the state of the MythTV frontend.<br>
<br>In reply to an earlier comment; <br>If I was going to do this with polling the frontend over telnet it would need to connect every 10-15 seconds to check the state, as the turning on of the amp would need to be fairly responsive - choosing what to play doesnt take that long afterall. There is another 10 seconds while the amp would be powering up as well.<br>
