First of all, if I can put in my "Me Too!" for the Vonage caller-id sniffer. That sounds like a useful little bit of code. I'd be happy to host the script on my site if it doesn't have anywhere else to live.

I have the same problem with Mythnotify, it does not display while not watching tv. I have been thinking about trying to write something in the frontend that will just display a popup qt box that will do the same while in the menus.


I've had good luck using xYac (which uses XOsd) to handle caller-id pop-ups. It displays over anything in X including videos in MPlayer, DVDs in Ogle, and all the various Myth plugins.

In my Myth startup script, I have the following line right before the call to Mythfrontend:
xyac -c yellow -f -adobe-utopia-bold-r-normal--*-400-*-*-*-*-* -s 5 &


Sounds good. I don't like not having the callerid display when not watching recordings. Maybe we can modify mythfrontend to have an option to use XOsd also along with the current osd support. I will get this installed and modify the script to send to xYac also.
