Okay, I just copied the script from the http://linhes.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/LinHES- ... 94d5a20b63 page and ran it. Appears to be working...

Thanks to djb1230 for pointing out the fullscreen option, now if only my tv did not have this damnable over-scan that I can't adjust. I'll have to look at what I have myth set for its' display size and see if I can manually adjust Huludesktop to thoughs parameters.

Played a bit with it last night, and using my remote to navigate does not work. Do I still need to run "lirc w/ -r switch" when using the install script? Does this interfere with using the front-end?

Where do you put that fullscreen option?

And yeah, I would really like to get the remote working in Hulu. Anyone figure it out yet?

In the users home directory (ex - /home/mythtv) is a file called .huludesktop. It should be there on install.

Here is mine:
Code:
[display]
fullscreen = TRUE
width = 1024
height = 576
pos_x = 201
pos_y = 179

[remote]
lirc_device = /dev/lircd
lirc_remote_identifier = tivo
lirc_release_suffix = _UP
lirc_repeat_threshold = 10
button_name_up = UP
button_name_down = DOWN
button_name_left = LEFT
button_name_right = RIGHT
button_name_select = SELECT
button_name_menu = GUIDE

[flash]
flash_location = /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[version]
latest = 0.9.3
eula_version = 1


You can see the "fullscreen = TRUE" property there. Those width and height properties appear to be written by the program. I haven't tried changing them to see if they make any difference.

You set up the remote setting those last 6 properties in the [remote] section. You set them to what you have defined in your lircd.conf file. For example, on all my machines I use the TiVo "peanut" remote and have defined the "GUIDE" button as the "M" key for MythTV. Here I'm using it for the "button_name_menu" property for HuluDesktop. The actual text you use is defined in your lircd.conf file. Just have to match up the buttons you want to use for Hulu.

It appears to me that the "lirc_release_suffix" property goes with adding the "-r" argument to lircd. What Hulu is really listening for are these release events. They don't really listen for "GUIDE" but are listening for "GUIDE_UP". It's a way that it makes the event unique to Hulu assuming no other software is using the same trick.

Some one mentioned having overscan issues with HuluDesktop. Here is something to try. This is a guess on my part.

Code:
[display]
fullscreen = FALSE
width = 1260
height = 620
pos_x = 10
pos_y = 100


In the above section fullscreen is false. I'm guessing that when set to true, the next four sizing properties are ignored. By setting it to false, the sizing values will be used. The downside is that you will get a "decorated" window. The idea is to control the size of the window where hopefully the overscan "eats" up the decorated part. Again just a guess. But perhaps it would make it workable.

Is there a standard X argument to a program to suppress the window manager from displaying the "decorated" part? Something like the standard X "-geometry" argument? If there was and if Hulu obeyed it then it seems any overscan could be fixed.

Open up the hardware.conf. I think it's in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf. Where you see LIRCD_ARGS="", change to LIRCD_ARGS="-r". Then restart lircd. I'm still on knoppmyth, so for me it's in init.d. I'm not sure how to restart lircd with LinHES and Arch.

That will fix the remote wonkiness with huludesktop, however, the remote is still super sluggish.

Edited to add: the -r argument doesn't seem to mess with any remote functionality in MythFrontend or elsewhere (Boxee, vlc).

There is no /etc/lirc/ directory in R6 and I'm not finding a hardware.conf

To restart lirc in R6, sv restart lircd appears to be working for me.

hmm... does Arch have /etc/conf.d? If so, the right config file to place the startup arguments might be /etc/conf.d/lircd.

Did you just add the LIRCD_ARGS="-r" line to the file?
or did you add it to the LIRC_EXTRAOPTS=""?

I also had to exit, then restart the frontend after do the "sv restart lircd" for it to work.

hmm, still not working for me.

I tried both: added LIRCD_ARGS="-r" and when that didn't work I added LIRC_EXTRAOPTS="-r"

And yes, I have to restart the frontend after restarting lircd.

the proggy is working fine, but no remote. This is what I have. It must be way wrong. anyone care to walk me thru this?

Code:
[remote]
lirc_device = /dev/lircd
lirc_remote_identifier = Streamzap_PC_Remote
"-r" = _UP
lirc_repeat_threshold = 10
UP = Up
DOWN = Down
LEFT = Left
RIGHT = Right
OK = OK
MENU = Home


Code:
LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
LIRC_DRIVER=""
LIRC_EXTRAOPTS="-r"
LIRC_CONFIGFILE=""

I think I'm missing something with the setup of lirc. It's probably because I went directly to mythtv-svn after installing R6. When one does that you lose the R6 MythVantage UI to setup stuff like the remote.

My question to folks having lirc issues with -r, look at
Code:
/etc/sv/lircd/run


and see if any of the variables from
Code:
/etc/conf.d/lircd


are used. They are not on my systems. But again that might be because I never setup a remote using MythVantage. Perhaps using MythVantage it all is setup correctly, I don't know because I never played with it.

For setting up the remote, just double check the values you set in .huludesktop. The lirc_remote_identifier, has to match the name of the remote in your lircd.conf file. And your buttons need to be correct. By that I mean they have to match what is defined in lircd.conf

Again here is mine:
Code:
[remote]
lirc_device = /dev/lircd
lirc_remote_identifier = dtivo
lirc_release_suffix = _UP
lirc_repeat_threshold = 10
button_name_up = UP
button_name_down = DOWN
button_name_left = LEFT
button_name_right = RIGHT
button_name_select = SELECT
button_name_menu = GUIDE


So TooManySecrets, your file is rather screwed up if you compare to mine.

OK, I've made some progress. I have changed to below, but it doesn't appear to be responding beyond the first button push. I think it's still the -r issue.

Code:
[remote]
lirc_device = /dev/lircd
lirc_remote_identifier = ATI_RWP
lirc_release_suffix = _UP
lirc_repeat_threshold = 5
button_name_up = Arrow_Up
button_name_down = Arrow_Down
button_name_left = Arrow_Left
button_name_right = Arrow_Right
button_name_select = OK
button_name_menu = ATI
