what can I use to do this?
MythTV is not a window manager. If all you run is MythTV, this might
work, but remember that MythVideo and MythDVD call external programs
(i.e. MPlayer, xine, or ...), so you will most likely be running other
programs...
Um.. you don't need a WM for Mythtv at all, I have this working and it
works great. With LIRC set up right everything closes and starts right.
And how can I map the next/prev buttons in mythtv? where do you set the
keyboard shortcut keys in myth?
Once again, it depends on your WM/DE.
No xhkeys solves this also for me, didn't realized at first that it
support sending keyboard commands to the windows in focus. Real Nice
program.
The magic words being "windows in focus." One of the primary functions
of a window manager is to manage the focus...
xhkeys solves the volume stuff. Still could use some suggestions on the
rest though.
Best suggestion I could offer: use a WM.
Thanks but I don't need one. So basically it works. I'm just going to
map the xines keys to match up with mythtv keys and presto I've solved
my own problem.
Best of luck, and when you find you have focus problems (especially
after using xine), please search the list for all the other posts about
why you need a window manager before asking why button presses aren't
going through/windows are appearing in the wrong z-order/whatever...
Thanks,
Mike
