Hi, I have 2 questions, tried on the irc but it was all quiet.
First off, I have read that if you have mythbuntu working fine, NEVER update. I am currently using 9.04, should I risk it and update to 9.10, or should I wait a while till the creases are ironed out (I am vaguely techy, so could only fix easy to fix problems)?
Secondly, is it possible to use lirc to control mythwelcome? I run XBMC and mythtv backend on the same machine. I have mythwelcome to autostart so it can start and then shutdown the machine to make a recording. I was wanting to lock shutdown and exit mythwelcome via Remote control (and then start XBMC). I can start XBMC via remote and start mythwelcome by remote, by I can't find a way to control mythwelcome by remote...any ideas?
I tried using an irxevent command to control mythwelcome, but it doesn't seem to work. Is the mythwelcome window called mythwelcome or is it called something else and can I send multiple keypresses to mythwelcome via lirc (so "M" then "Return" and then "M" then "KP_down"*3 and then "Return" to lock shutdown and exit mythwelcome)?
