Hello,
I disagree..
As I said in one of my previous messages, there are a few of out here that
do not use lirc. Some of us use a remote like the Firefly or the X10, or
something that directly sends key press events, so this makes it a bit
tough to use irxevent or something similar.
Also, I am running mythtv completely embedded from ROM (the front end), so
there is really not much room for a window manager, not to mention that on
a dedicated unit (not embedded), I have always had better success by
ditching the wm, so this route is not for everyone either.
So, where is the project going anyway.. Is this aiming to be an app
that runs on a desktop machine along with other programs, or is it heading
for the ability to be used as a stand alone media system (possibly
embedded), as well as a desktop application.
If the answer is the latter, Mythtv needs to have everything within the
gui to configure a machine from zero, and I might point out that I have
patched it to do as much at the moment. (All it needed was a way to
configure where it mounts the shared media directory and the Ethernet
configuration, and I can do every bit of front end configuration that I
will ever need to do to make an embedded frontend.)
So, if the goal is to make Myth into a desktop application, sure leave it
out, long with a dozen other configuration options that can be adjusted
with other outside applications... Then make a plugin that has all of the
rest of the configuration stuff to make it into a stand alone application
for those of us that want to embed. ;)
Just a few thoughts...
