Is the only problem that your remote isn't working? I'll bet you're using irxevent to control things, aren't you? MPlayer has built-in lirc support, so if you set up a .lircrc file for it, then you won't have to worry about whether the window has focus in order for it to get LIRC events. I think Jarod might even have a sample MPlayer .lircrc on his site. Also, not that it's related, but why are you using "-vo x11" in your command line? Unless you're using a PVR-350 for output, or some other video card that doesn't support Xv, you probably want "-vo xv". Running "mplayer -vo help" will list all available output methods. Some other good ones might be xvmc (for hardware-accelerated MPEG-2 decoding, if your card has it), gl, gl2, dga, or sdl. Any of those, I think, will give you hardware-accelerated 2D video scaling; the 'x11' output method will not, IIUC. By using "-vo x11" you're forcing your CPU to do the scaling instead of your video card. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
