Hi,
Would it be possible to reload the mythfrontend when it crashes ?
When playing TV and I hit the ESC key, mythfrontend crashes. (using the 0.22-72 x86_64 version)
Wouls it be possible to insert a loop around the mythfrontend exec and if it crash, it would reload it self.
Could this be something that would be possible ?
any input on this would be great.
thanks !

If you have not already done so, then you might check out http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Loading_Script

How would I add this to minimyth? Also, isn't this something that could be added fairly easily to the default build.
Re: Reload mythfrontend when crashed
Because it is mythfrontend that is keeping Xorg running, if mythfrontend exits, then Xorg exits. Therefore, such as script would not work.
MiniMyth includes mythwelcome for those that want a relatively easy way to restart the mythfrontend were mythfrontend to exit. If you set
in your minimyth.conf file, then MiniMyth will start mythwelcome. mythwelcome has a button that launches mythfrontend.
