It's nice that you can use the TV remote buttons to operate
mythfrontend too but I think having the frontend control what is
essentially an input device is wrong.
https://github.com/bramp/libcec-daemon is a better approach, all
programmes will get the TV remote keys not just the frontend, it would
be easy to add a socket to send CEC messages so you can do whatever
you want to the system from scripts run from myth events. I guess
eventually it will end up as a kernel driver with mapping similar to
ir-keytable.
Cheers,
Tim.
