Re: [vdr] XBMC with vdr-1.6.0 ??
Sorry for the delay. vdr is set to run all the time, I start mine with this line in inittab but anyway will do: vdr:35:once:/usr/local/bin/runvdr This is the while loop in my .xinitrc. This has to go before any exec lines that you might have which would be present to start window managers etc: ### bash script excerpt start while [ 1 -eq 1 ] do XINE=/data/downloads/xine-ui/src/xitk/xine $XINE -A alsa --video vdpau --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver -f vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes --no-gui --no-mouse --hide-gui --no-logo --no-splash --verbose=2 21 /tmp/xine_log #run xbmc export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=null # I use this to workaround an issue I had with navigation sounds in xbmc /usr/local/bin/xbmc --fullscreen 21 /tmp/xbmc done ### bash script excerpt end So this loop will just cycle between xine and xbmc unti the X session is killed. To stop xine I use the Music button on my Hauppauge remote, so I have this in the my .lircrc begin remote = Hauppauge button = Music prog = xine repeat = 0 config = Quit end This will close xine, causing the while loop to move on and start xbmc. I use MediaStream as my xbmc skin and this next bit is specific to that skin, if you use a different skin then you will have to look up how to add menu items for that skin. Also I think I read recently that xbmc has changed the way skins are handled so if you are on a new svn build, or maybe the latest release then things might have changed. I am using a SVN build from 8 Sep 2009. From the same home directory as the above .xinitrc, in .xbmc/skin/MediaStream/720p (That's the resolution I'm using, I don't think MediaStream has any other) you should have a file, Home.xml. Near the end there is a section which defines the main menu, normally preceded by the comment !-- Main Menu --. About 30 lines lower you should find a section which describes the buttons available in the top level menu, something like: content item id=7 descriptionPower Button/description label $LOCALIZE[31007] /label label2 $LOCALIZE[31017] /label2 onclickXBMC.ActivateWindow(ShutdownMenu)/onclick /item item id=6 descriptionMy System Menu/description label $LOCALIZE[31006] /label label2 $LOCALIZE[31016] /label2 onclickSetFocus(506)/onclick /item At a location of your choosing, but at the right xml indentation, you can add a button with the following xml: item id=11 descriptionMy VDR Button/description label $LOCALIZE[31905] /label label2 $LOCALIZE[31906] /label2 visible!Skin.HasSetting(HideTVShows)/visible onclickXBMC.Quit()/onclick /item The id of 11 must be unique in this list, my last one was 10, so I picked 11. The significant bits are the 2 numbers 31905 and 31906, plus the XBMC.Quit() which tells XBMC to close down when the menu item is clicked, and due to the bash while loop, xine will start up. Finally to get the right text for your new menu button, you need to define values for 31905 and 31906 in .xbmc/skin/MediaStream/language/English/strings.xml. Something like this before /strings will do: string id=31905TV/string string id=31906Watch/string As already mentioned you can achieve the same thing with less changes by using irexec, I guess the only advantage of the technique above is that you get a nice button in xbmc. Apologies for putting all this xbmc specific stuff in the vdr list, but its probably good to have the whole solution in one message. Its not exactly what you are after but it may give you some clues. -- Scott On Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:12:30 +1300, Simon Baxter linu...@nzbaxters.com wrote: - Original Message - From: scott sc...@waye.co.uk To: VDR Mailing List vdr@linuxtv.org Sent: Monday, March 08, 2010 9:45 PM Subject: Re: [vdr] XBMC with vdr-1.6.0 ??
