Every once and a while my xbmc crashes and goes back to the desktop. Is there some way to launch xbmc using my remote through LIRC only when on the desktop?
Well, you could search for some kind of deamon listen for lirc events.
I use a modified xinitrc script to start xbmc. Main reason was to run xbmc without displaymanager. 2nd reason was to put xbmc into a while loop so it resarts automaticly
A solution would be quite simple, but requires you to have irexec running. You can add the following to your ~/.lircrc:
Code:
begin
prog = irexec
button = button to start xbmc
config = /path/to/xbmc
end
You could start irexec on login or something
