You could always use a 'while xine "mrl"; do sleep 1; done" or use init/upstart.

In that case freevo is the media center for playing video/music/etc... and it launches xine/vdr-sxfe when you want to watch tv. -- _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
