Yes, it should do exactly the same as if I 'clicked' on Shutdown in the
main menu.
I added the following two lines to my local_conf to make it work in the
menu system of freevo
EVENTS['menu']['POWER'] = Event(MENU_GOTO_SHUTDOWN)
EVENTS['tvmenu']['POWER'] = Event(MENU_GOTO_SHUTDOWN)
But how can I use it while watching TV or a movie or listening to music
etc..

I have the following in my local_conf
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/mnt/cdrom', '/dev/cdrom', 'DVD Drive') ]
And yes, it is a DVD drive nevertheless I'm mounting it with /dev/cdrom ;)
If I insert a DVD, the dvd image in the idlebar lights up, but it is not
played automatically. If I 'click'
on the DVD Drive int the Watch a movie menu, it just opens the DVD and
displays me the 2 folders
video_ts and audio_ts.
And how can I tell freevo to play DVDs with xine ? I tryed the
following, but then, I can't open
the vob files anymore. The screen just gets black for a second and then
the freevo menu is
shown again. Under 'real' x11, xine is working. And I'm starting freevo
with -fs so it should work,
but it doesn't.
VIDEO_MPLAYER_SUFFIX = [ 'avi', 'mpg', 'mpeg', 'wmv', 'bin', 'rm',
'divx', 'ogm', 'asf', 'm2v', 'm2p',
'mp4', 'viv', 'nuv', 'mov', 'iso',
'nsv', 'mkv' ]
VIDEO_XINE_SUFFIX = [ 'vob' ]

Hmmm, I'm using mplayer. Do I need any special configure options (I
compiled it myself) for mplayer
to get it to work ?
And where can I find that patch for xine.
