I'm basically broadcasting a UDP packet with the caller id information from the asterisk machine and have a listener running on my mythtv box. When it receives the packet it pops up a dialog showing who is calling. Pretty simple. However, I would like to automatically pause the mythtv playback when the caller id event arrives. Is there a simple way to do that? I thought maybe I could fake an event with lirc and having it send a Pause. However, after digging through the man pages of the lirc stuff it wasn't as obvious as I thought. Any ideas on how to do this? Or is there something easier that I've completely missed?<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144FAE"><br></font></font></blockquote><br></div><div>Use the telnet interface of MythTV to pause playback when your script receives a caller id packet.</div><div><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Telnet_socket">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Telnet_socket</a></div><div><br></div><div>You'll have to script something in Python telnetlib or Perl Net::Telnet to handle the communication, but that shouldn't be to hard?</div><br><div>
