Patch to support lirc reconnect
|
|
Hy here is a patch to support reconnection to lircd with signal USR2.
The issue
---------
I use mythtv with lirc and an imon remote. The drive doesn't support
acpi suspend.
When I suspend the computer, I have to unload lirc modules and stop lircd.
When I wake up the computer, il load the modules again et start lircd.
The point is that mythtv lose its connection to lircd and doesn't
reconnect to the new server.
I can no longer use my remote.
So I have patched mythtv to be able to reconnect to lircd whe mythtv
receive a signal USR2. When I wake up the computer, I send USR2 to
mythfrontend,
it reconnects to lircd and the remote works again.
Summary of changes
------------------
In libmythui : mode the code to launch the lirc thread to an independant
method called at init and when necessary
In mythfrontend : create and bind a function to manage the signal USR2.
It calls the libmythui function to launch a new lirc thread.
In the Lirc code : modify the init of the class to first deinit lirc and
close previous sessions (to prevent segfaults after multiple USR2).
Version concerned
-----------------
mythtv 0.21_p19046 (gentoo version)
