Post subject:  grey pvr 250 remote and mplayer
Hello,

when i navigate in mythtv with the grey pvr 250 remote,
all looks good .. and i can switch from tv to the other
functions.

but when i switch to the media player, i can see the thumb pics
from the video files and at this time i can press the "back/exit" on
the remote, but when i play any of the videos and i want back,
the "back/exit" key on the remote are not working and i must
use the keyboard.

When i look pictures from the gallery, i can back every time ...

only when i play videos i can not back ...

What can i do ?

regards

Update: When i play record videos from mythtv, the "back/exit" key are
working, only when i play videos (mpg) the key does not work.

Show recorded videos <- "back/exit" key works
Show videos <- only from thumb view the key works
Show pictures <- key works

You probably need to add funtionility in your lircrc file for mplayer.

Here is a sample of my file (i do not use the remote that comes with the hauppage card):
Code:
#MPlayer
begin
   prog = mplayer
   button = Exit
   config = quit
end

begin
   prog = mplayer
   button = Menu
   config = osd
end


You can find your lircrc file in $HOME/.mythtv/lircrc
So you need to determine each button name on your remote that is used in lircd.conf file. Than if you don't know every config that can be sent to mplayer you can man mplayer (or mplayer --help or something like that).

Here are the most basic:
config = seek -10 or +10 (jump 10 seconds either back or forwards)
config = pause (obvious)
config = volume +1 or -1
config=mute
config=quit
config=osd

Those are the most basic, there are more advanced one if you want to look around for them.

also to help you make that edit I'll let you know the very top left button the power button should exit the video's, so if you want the back/exit button to do it you should make it the same thing as the power button for the program mplayer.

@ xsecrets: I noticed that the upper left green power button you refered to doesn't work with my new install of R5A30.2. Here is a bit of code from my lircrc

Code:
begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = Off
    config = Esc
end


I also have the same line in there for "prog = mplayer" yet that button doesn't work in either app. Is it not called "Off" anymore?

I'm having the same problem. As far a I know this is only in the latest version of KnoppMyth. In the previous versions I used, the back-button worked fine. I'll just add those lines to my config, but I hope it will be "fixed" in the next release :P

I got around it by mapping the back/exit button to that function; edit your /home/mythtv/..lircrc

Code:
begin
   prog = mplayer
   button = back/exit
   config = quit
end


Restart lirc or reboot the machine and that should work for you.

Double check that the names and capitalization match. There was a change somewhere along the line to the names used in the button definitions in /etc/lircd.conf (which is linked to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf). The names used there must match the button names mapped for the application functions in /home/mythtv/.lircrc (which is linked to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc)
