Hi Tilman, The LIRC patch I submitted is very small. It adds support for reading /etc/lircrc if the user lircrc isn't found. I spent a day trying to troubleshoot why lircd and irw worked fine but mythfrontend kept dropping the connection to lircd. Turns out LIRC 0.7.0 added support for falling back to /etc/lircrc when/if ~/.lircrc doesn't exist. I counted on that to work. (oops)
Well, myth stores the .lircrc in ~/.mythtv/lircrc, and when using native LIRC access it doesn't fallback to /etc/lircrc without code intervention. So I intervened. :) Small but useful. May save someone else a day of troubleshooting. cheers, james -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tilman Schlenker Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 1:26 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Myth running, submitted patch now user questions.:) As for the frontend: a XBox should be a cheap solution, but I haven't tested it yet. I run mythfrontend in window mode (don't forget to restart after activating it) which can be placed nicely in the viewable area with preset size and offset. Haven't found a solution for OSD yet :( What did you patch in LIRC? I noticed that it is necessary to reload ivtv after using lirc once.
