Okay, I have been having trouble getting Xine to play iso images from the frontend. I can get it to play if I open an xterm and type:

Code:

xine dvd:///myth/video/movie.iso

where movie.iso is the name of the iso file I want to watch.

How do I replicate this in the frontend to play when I click on the movie? I've tried adding a new file type in the configuration and playing with the command and have had no success. Any suggestions?

I'm also going to want to figure out how to configure my lircrc to allow me to navigate the menus in xine using my remote. I just realized this and haven't done a search yet, so if the information is readily available just state as so. I don't want to start messing with lircrc until I get xine working, though.

have you tried xine dvd:///myth/video/%s

as for the lirc config there is one somewhere on the forums, from a LONG time ago, but I thought the default knoppmyth config had that in there too, thought I could be mistaken on that account, as my config files have followed me for a long time through autoupgrades.

Okay, I used khrusher's (hope I didn't butcher his name...) suggestion of using google with the site:mysettopbox.tv option and I found a solution. Sorry that I didn't do that search first. My solution was this command line for the iso file type:

Code:

xine -pq -V Xv -f dvd://%s

well, lets see if I can use google to find the answer to my lircrc menu question...

Yep, google came through for me again. The lircd edit was fairly straightforward:

Code:

begin
prog = xine
button = UP
repeat = 3
config = EventUp
end

begin
prog = xine
button = DOWN
repeat = 3
config = EventDown
end

begin
prog = xine
button = LEFT
repeat = 3
config = EventLeft
end

begin
prog = xine
button = RIGHT
repeat = 3
config = EventRight
end 

begin
prog = xine
button = OK
repeat = 3
config = EventSelect
end

Some other options, the Xine section of my /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc file looks like this.

Code:

##XINE

begin
prog = xine
button = PLAY
repeat = 3
config = Play
end

begin
prog = xine
button = STOP
repeat = 3
config = Stop
end

begin
prog = xine
button = BACK/EXIT
config = Quit
end

begin
prog = xine
button = PAUSE
repeat = 3
config = Pause
end

begin
prog = xine
button = CH+
repeat = 4
config = EventUp
end

begin
prog = xine
button = CH-
repeat = 4
config = EventDown
end

begin
prog = xine
button = VOL-
repeat = 4
config = EventLeft
end

begin
prog = xine
button = VOL+
repeat = 4
config = EventRight
end

begin
prog = xine
button = OK
repeat = 0
config = EventSelect
end

begin
prog = xine
button = MENU
repeat = 0
config = Menu
end

#vol down
begin
prog = xine
button = YELLOW
repeat = 1
config = Volume-
end

#vol up
begin
prog = xine
button = Red
repeat = 1
config = Volume+
end

begin
prog = xine
button = Mute
repeat = 2
config = Mute
end

begin
prog = xine
button = FFW
repeat = 2
config = SeekRelative+30
end

begin
prog = xine
button = REW
repeat = 2
config = SeekRelative-30
end

#ch up
begin
prog = xine
button = Green
repeat = 2
config = SeekRelative+60
end
#ch down
begin
prog = xine
button = Blue
repeat = 2
config = SeekRelative-60
end

#prev chapter
begin
prog = xine
button = REPLAY
repeat = 2
config = EventPrior
end

#next chapter
begin
prog = xine
button = SKIP
repeat = 2
config = EventNext
end

#prev subtitle channel
begin
prog = xine
button = Blank
repeat = 2
config = SpuPrior
end

#next subtitle channel
begin
prog = xine
button = Full
repeat = 2
config = SpuNext
end

begin
prog = xine
button = Record
repeat = 3
config = Snapshot
end
