I am trying to do something that should be possible, but I am
running into trouble. Basically, I want to evoke a jumppoint in
mythfrontend from a command line (shell script). Here is the use case: I use mythvideo mostly. I have about 50 movies and
growing in there (a lot of HD space). I have a harmony remote that has 6
buttons on an lcd screen. I want to program the buttons for things like
unseen (I added a flag to the mythvideo table), comedy, drama, etc. My
plan was to have the buttons exec a shell script that ran a query like: Update videometadata set browse = 1 where seen = 0 Then trigger the video browse jumppoint. I am thinking a simple command line utility that would send
a keypress event to the mythfrontend window would do the trick. xkeypress <F3> Here is what I’ve tried: I found some perl libraries that do stuff like this: X11::Protocol X11::SendEvent But I can’t seem to figure out how to write a script
that does this. The main problem seems to be finding the window. I
have no knowledge of perl unfortunately, so I’m not even sure if one can
use these types of libraries in shell scripts, anyway. Any help would be appreciated. thx John --- |
