TV card support?

althekiller, is it possible to modify the System.Exec with a bool value for having the complete focus (inputs/lirc included) ? This would make more sense than starting and stopping xbmc everytime a third party app is launched.

Wrong topic thread.

I dont think so. Its a related to the previous post @ Gamester17

Hello althekiller,

thanks for the hint! Is there a chance to invoke that external script from within XBMC? What I tried is to invoke a python via XBMC.RunScript() which in turn invokes a shell script.
Funily, XBMC seems to shut down (using killall -w -v xbmc.bin) and the following app starts (for testing purposes I use rhythmbox instead of VDR).
Rhythmbox then complains about the audio device still in use. I wonder why because how can the script kill XBMC and then start Rhythmbox if it is executed as child process of XBMC? I would have expected that the shell script stops executing upon the killall xbmc.bin - not executing the rest.
Has anyone ideas on how to get this working? Tried to reinit the device using alsa command but no success. Playing around with sleep between killing and invoking did not help.

Thank you!
