This feature is only there if you use separated machines for your frontend and for your backend. On a FE+BE machine it doesn't appear (unfortunately). There are of course reasons for not allowing a shutdown on a FE+BE machine, but I always wanted to be able to shutdown the PC with my remote after watching a few recordings. I always turn off my PC over night so I just changed one line in the code. Now I'm able to see Exit and Shutdown in the Exit menu. Why don't we allow it if there's sometimes a need for something like this? Many of us just use a FE on the same PC where the BE lives and many of us turn of the PCs sometimes. Greg if you're using 0.18.1 just change the line 471 in main.cpp in mythfrontend from if (!backendOnLocalhost) to # if (!backendOnLocalhost) http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-18-fixes/mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp#l471 So it looks like this: DialogBox diag(gContext->GetMainWindow(), title); diag.AddButton(QObject::tr("No")); diag.AddButton(QObject::tr("Yes, Exit now")); # if (!backendOnLocalhost) diag.AddButton(QObject::tr("Yes, Exit and Shutdown")); I can send you a patch if you don't know how to handle with the source directly.
