Any way to start vdr when launching xbmc? - Hopelessone - 2012-01-05 Hi, I have problems with vdr automatically loading at boot, as it starts too early and i can't view any channels.. Any way to disable auto-load vdr and start it when I fire up xbmc? Thanks - MartijnGP - 2012-01-05 It has to be running before XBMC starts, otherwise XBMC won't pick it up anymore. Can't you write a simple bash script which first launches VDR, then waits a while and then proceeds to starting XBMC? - ant_thomas - 2012-01-05 Hopelessone Wrote:Hi, Do you mean the other way round? XBMC is starting before VDR? Or is the VDR frontend displaying? - Hopelessone - 2012-01-05 MartijnGP Wrote:Can't you write a simple bash script which first launches VDR, then waits a while and then proceeds to starting XBMC? not really... I moved the file: sudo gedit /etc/init.d/vdr and put it in my home directory I start it with: Code: sudo ./vdr start so i can start it: Code: #!/bin/bash - FernetMenta - 2012-01-05 I think the best approach is to use udev rules and upstart. udev checks when the dvb device is ready and signals upstart to launch vdr. Then start XBMC standalone as session or put it in your autostart folder. - Hopelessone - 2012-01-05 I dont know if it is the dvb device i tried editing the vdr start-stop script: Quote:startvdr() but same result... |
