One more tip for those using myth with a monitor instead of a TV...
|
|
Recently, I picked up a Gateway FPD2275W monitor from Best Buy - nice
monitor...
anyhoo, it's sitting in the bedroom on my MBE / 2nd frontend box. I've
got lirc setup and I'm using the Hauppauge grey remote with it. But
once I'm done watching shows there, I have to get up to turn off the
monitor...
Not anymore... a little googling, searching the list archives, one
config file edit, and one shell script later...
Put this stanza in ~mythfrontend/.lircrc
# Red Button
begin
prog = irexec
button = Red
repeat = 4
config = /usr/local/bin/monitorpowerbutton.sh
end
And this script as /usr/local/bin/monitorpowerbutton.sh
#!/bin/bash
STATUS=`xset -q | grep "Monitor is" | awk '{print $3}'`
if [ "${STATUS}" = "On" ]
then
xset dpms force off
else
xset dpms force on
fi
exit 0
Inspired by Jarod's power button trick for mythfrontend...
