[mythtv-users] Remote control settings for MythTV and Video

MythTV Users,

I can control sound with my remote control (Hauppauge PVR-150) when 
watching television (MythTV).

However, I can't control sound when I watch videos.

I'm fairly certain this is because in my .lircrc file, which controls 
which commands do what from the remote control, is set only to work with 
MythTV.

However, when Mythfrontend plays a video, it launches Mplayer, which 
requires different commands for adjusting sound.

I know it's possible, but I've never been able to quite figure out how 
it works. How can I get the volume up and down buttons on the remote to 
control MythTV when I'm watching TV, but Mplayer when I'm watching a video?

Here's what I currently have for volume control:

#Volume Up
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Vol+
repeat = 2
config = ]
end

#Volume Down
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Vol-
repeat = 2
config = [
end


Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
