[SOLVED-Doing executable the script]Can I build a macro executed by pressing 3 keys (example stop+9+stop) in yaVDR 0.5?

Hi.

In yaVDR 0.4 and in yaVDR 0.3 I had a macro for restarting sxfe when sometimes it hanged up.

I had the file StopNineStopKeys with this content:

begin
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_STOP
    button = KEY_9
    button = KEY_STOP
    config = /usr/bin/killall vdr-sxfe -9 | /usr/bin/logger
    end

When yaVDR 0.4 started, it was executed this line:

/usr/bin/irexec -d /path_To_StopNineStopKeys/StopNineStopKeys &

So, when the graphical interface of sxfe hanged, I pressed stop+9+stop and it was restarted and working again.

Can I do something similar in yaVDR 0.5, I tried to do the same but it does not work.

Regards.

Why don't you use /etc/lirc/lircrc to configure irexec? Is irexec running?

Code

status irexec

Well, I do not use "/etc/lirc/lircrc" because I dont know how to do it, and it worked fine doing that I said in the previous post.

status irexec

returns:

irexec start/running, process 1012

Just include your existing code into this file, irexec should use it after a restart.

Sorry, what file?

Just use softhddevice and you won't need the restart of vdr-sxfe. SoftHDDevice works for me without any freezes (about month).

Well, if no freezes, my wife will be very happy... and so will I.

I will use softhdevice then, but for playing avi, mp3 and jpf files, I used to play them with the menú option "osd/video/media" that only appears with sxfe(xineliboutput) and not appears with softhdevice.

How can I play avi and mp3 files with softhdevice without enter in xbmc? Is there any way to do it?

/etc/lirc/lircrc - have a look at the upstart job configuration file /etc/init/irexec.conf

Sorry seahawk1986, I realized that the script that lauch

/usr/bin/irexec -d /path_To_StopNineStopKeys/StopNineStopKeys &

was not executable. When I did it executable. it worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot.

Why are you doing this? We start irexec already, there is no need to start it a second time. Simply put you code in the file mentioned by seahawk1986.

Well, this is what I do:

1.- I build the file "StopNineStopKeys" with this content:

begin
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_STOP
    button = KEY_9
    button = KEY_STOP
    config = /usr/bin/killall vdr-sxfe -9 | /usr/bin/logger
    end

2.- I build the file "launch_irexec" with this content:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/irexec -d /home/javier/00_scripts/StopNineStopKeys &
exit 0

3.- I copy "launch_irexec" in /etc/init.d/
4.- I do executable (that was the problem I had)

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/launch_irexec

5.- The file should be executed when computer starts:

#sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lanza_irexec.sh /etc/rc2.d/S99StopNineStop
    #sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lanza_irexec.sh /etc/rc3.d/S99StopNineStop
    #sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lanza_irexec.sh /etc/rc4.d/S99StopNineStop
    #sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lanza_irexec.sh /etc/rc5.d/S99StopNineStop

6.- I reboot, and when xineliboutput interface freezes I press Stop+9+Stop keys and it restart and work again.

I have a couple of macros more, one for restarting vdr and another for restarting computer.

Is it not necessary? well, it could be, but when I am outside home, it is an esay way for my wife to solve an eventual issue.

Just add the content of StopNineStopKeys into /etc/lirc/lircrc and you are done. Nothing more needed. Really. Anyway - your installation - your rules - so you are free to make your life as difficult as you want it to be

, je, je, thankyou, I will try your solution, I do not want to do things harder than needed.

Done, it works perfectly.

Thanks again.
