MPlayer 1.0pre4-3.3.4
mythvideo 0.18.1-2)
mythtv 0.18.1-5
lircd 0.7.1pre2
When I use the mythvideo (version 0.18.1-2) plugin to play an AVI
file on my XBOX frontend (mythtv version 0.18.1-5), I am unable to
control the video using either the keyboard or the xbox remote
control. The Arrow keys can be seen to move the cursor around but
nothing else works.
The player configuration is "mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv %s"
which is the default. If I change it to "internal", it doesn't
play back at all. If I get rid of all options except for -fs,
there is no change.
I can watch TV recordings using the input devices normally using
the normal mythfrontend tool (which I assume is what is meant by
"internal").
Both mplayer and mythfrontend are being run as user "live" and the
.lircrc file is in /home/live/.lircrc and, via symbolic link,
/home/live/mythtv/lircrc. This .lircrc file seems to be correct as
evidenced by the fact that I can control the mythfrontend. It has
reasonable looking entries for program "mplayer" as well as
"mythtv", "xine" and "vlc".
When I log in to the xbox remotely and send the mythfrontend
display back to my linux desktop, I can use my keyboard to control
the video without any problem (not that I would normally do that
of course.)
When mythvideo runs mplayer, its process's current working
directory is /home/live so I don't see why it wouldn't find the
.lircrc file.
I modified the player configuration to include
"-verbose 1 -nojoystick > .mythtv/log 2>&1"
and was able to capture the following:

It doesn't say so explicitly but I assume that it is picking up
~/.lircrc as described in the mplayer man page.
Can somebody suggest a course of action?
Thank you all very much!
