Hi,
I am rebuilding my system based on YaVDR & would like some advice on the best practice way of configuring the use of my second screen without interfering too much with the setup.
I have already got my dual head setup configured for VDR use, with the web "switch head" button in the web interface working to correctly switch the output of vdr-sxfe between screens. What I would like to do is to be able to have Openbox or similar running on the "spare" screen, so that I can launch apps on there, and have this window manager switch over to the other screen when I switch heads.
I am aware of the use of templates to define a lot of the config of YaVDR rather than editing things directly, so I'm wondering if there is a specific place where I should define this?
Also, I would like to map the head switching function from the web interface to an LIRC command on my remote. From what I can gather, the web interface is just hitting an event under /usr/share/yavdr (I can't remember the exact location of the events, but there are two scripts that i Have seen - one to change the screen definition & one to restart the frontend) - is it doing anything more complex than that?
Cheers,
Wilb
