I'm thinking of trying out XBMCbuntu, I'm currently using OpenELEC on an ASRock Ion 330Pro and having a few hiccups that I can't seem to overcome. I had previously been running Win 7 on this computer, but ran into some problems with a driver update that inspired me to give something else a try. I'm new to Linux and am wondering if I can recreate this sequence for waking/sleeping the computer.
When using Win7, I had EventGhost set up so that when the PC woke up (when I pressed the power button on my remote) XBMC would launch after a 5 second delay. This worked well for two reasons, it prevented the issue of stuttering video in XBMC resulting from Windows being put to sleep and woken up, and it also updated the library each time XBMC started. I think somewhere in the EventGhost event, XBMC was being shutdown right before the PC went to sleep.
Could I set up a similar chain of events using XBMCbuntu?
done watching TV so press power to put computer to sleep -> XBMC exits.
want to watch something so press power button on remote -> computer wakes up -> XBMC launches a few seconds later and library is updated.
I will be using a Harmony remote with the set up. Thanks for any help.
