Hi, I've had a nagging problem since I rebuilt my front ends going from .16 to .17. I didn't see anything in any previous posts relating to this, so I just wanted to put this out here to help the next guy because I wasted entirely way too much time on it..
I am running Myth .17 under Debian Sid (this also occurred with .17 under FC3). I did not have this issue with my old front end running .16 under Debian Sarge. I duplicated this problem under blackbox, fluxbox, gnome and KDE. After Xine exits, focus would not be returned to mythfrontend which would result in the remote not being able to control the program guide and the exit menu. Mplayer does not have this same behavior and would return focus to mythfrontend after exiting. I found the following bug report on Xine's site: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10430782 basically confirming the issue that Xine does not return focus to the window of the program that started it. There is a workaround listed in that thread that solves the issue. You need to download the xine-ui source and comment out lines 1814 to 1819 in event.c to fix the problem. If you choose to compile by hand, make sure you add a --enable-lirc when you configure as it did not get enabled by default for me. I hope this saves someone some time. -Gordon
