The hdhomerun-config-gui does what I need, but it's a bit clunky and hard to use; e.g., you have to type in the number of the channel you want to view rather than just have a list to click on. I spent some time today looking for alternatives to the hdhomerun-config-gui, but I didn't find anything other than MythTV. However, I did find some attempts at doing something similar to what I want with bash scripts, and that got me thinking of the possibility of simply cooking up what I need - except I know very little about bash scripts. I wonder if the hdhomerun-config utility keeps a list of channels that it found the last time the user did a scan. If so, and if the list also includes the information necessary to connect to each channel, it should be simple enough to present the user with a GUI list of the channels, each with a Play button, and setting it up so that clicking on a button sends that stream to VLC, while terminating any previous streams that VLC was playing, or launching VLC if it was not already running. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
