Opps… I found the way to do this. I poked around the db tables, and sure
enough, there is a db table that does exactly what I wanted, “jumppoints”
So for the hotkeys I wanted (videos, weather and news) I did the following:
update jumppoints set keylist = ‘F5’ where destination = ‘MythNews’;
etc…
once for each new hotkey I wanted. I then just edited the .lircrc to add
those to the controls I had mapped my soft keys on my remote to. So easy…
what would I do without this stuff.

Subject: execute menu option from remote
I can’t seem to find a way to do this, but I think it would be a handy
feature. I have a harmony 680 remote that I use with mythtv. It works
nicely. I would like to setup the programmable buttons to do things like
rip dvd, directly access weather, news, etc. This would mean one could be
anywhere within the app, then push a button and be right on a certain menu,
or right on the weather, etc.
I imagine there would be a number of ways to do this. First thing would be
allow keys to be associated with menu choices in the .xml file. The other
approach could be to create a command line utility that can trigger the
frontend to execute a menu, then you could configure the keys through the
lircrc with the irexec.
If something like this already exists, please let me know how to set it all
up.
Thanks,
John
