Trying to get Stepmania launching correctly from XBMC via Launcher, and getting audio device busy errors in Stepmania. Stepmania is installed and runs fine if I exit XBMC and launch it with "xinit stepmania".
How can I set up a bash script to kill XBMC, launch stepmania, and restart xbmc afterward.
Tried:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
killall xbmc.bin
xinit stepmania
xinit /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone
Works if I've already exited xbmc, but not from Launcher. I believe because after killall, x is still running...?
I feel like I'm probably going about this the wrong way
Any suggestions? All help appreciated.

I dont know stepmania but if you want use the launcher I dont think you should do xinit, just execute the bin.
Dropped the xinits, but now getting "SDL: No video" type errors when launching stepmania.
Feel like I may be killing/launching XBMC incorrectly to free up audio drivers.
[edit]
Tried with
killall xbmc.bin
sleep 2
and
killall -s9 xbmb.bin
And it doesn't look like stepmania ever tries to run with the script like that. Does terminating xbmc kill any apps run by Launcher as well?
Other ideas?
I use the remote to run my scripts via .lircrc file for irexec.
Code:
begin
remote = Microsoft_Xbox360
button = X
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /home/xbmc/start-xbmc.sh
end
begin
remote = Microsoft_Xbox360
button = B
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /home/xbmc/start-hulu.sh
end
begin
remote = Microsoft_Xbox360
button = A
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /home/xbmc/start-boxee.sh
end
Here is the script that launches hulu
Code:
#! /bin/bash
killall huludesktop
killall xbmc.bin
killall Boxee
/usr/bin/huludesktop &
the killall parts are to make sure nothing is started twice
irexec has to be started in daemon mode on startup.
irexec -d &

hello I would have a similar issue - I would like to have a script launching Boxee and after closing Boxee going back to XBMC. But I did not manage to start the script at all!!
here:

Any suggestions?
