Not only MythGame, but the main menu, MythDVD, MythWeather, the works. I have a wireless a bluetooth gamepad that I would like to use as a remote.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

yeah a version or so back they added that capablitly to control Myth with a gamepad, but i have no idea howto use it.. and havnt ever seen anybody talking about it. so you'll have to digg alittle, sorry

Oh that's great, thank you!

Hey there, what kind of gamepad do you have? I'm looking to get one for my new MacBook, but I can't seem to find any bluetooth ones.

Cheers

I don't know of anything for mythtv directly, but years ago I used a program called joy2key. There is a linux version out there somewhere, dunno if it's still around. Basically you just assign a keyboard key to a button on your joystick/gamepad.

It is still around. There is a writeup on the wiki about using a joystick to control MythTV.

When the source is open, the possibilities are endless!

it would appear that the ones the Xbox 360 uses are bluetooth

I found another program, works better for me than joy2key. It is called qjoypad. The source wouldn't compile for me and the deb had old dependencies. I downloaded the rpm and ran sudo alien -d qjoypad-3.4-1.i586.rpm. Alien will go through the dependencies and update them. Should install fine after that with dpkg -i qjoypad-3.4-1.i586.deb. I found it much easier to configure and use than joy2key.
