FAQ

The real FAQ answer is at http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1

If you have any comments or suggestions - please talk about them on the discussion page before editing this page.

Keyboard commands

The file keys.txt in your documentation directory (typically /usr/share/doc/mythtv/ or /usr/local/share/doc/mythtv/) describes what the various keyboard commands are. If you have loaded mythweb, you may change the default keys to your liking.

mythfrontend

Keys Action
Arrow keys used to move the highlight point around
ALT-F4 exit out of the application
Space/Enter take action on the item under the highlight point
P play in both "Watch a Recording" and "Delete a Recording"
D delete in both "Watch a Recording" and "Delete a Recording"
I edit recording options from the EPG, "Program Finder", "Program Recording Priorities", or "Fix Scheduling Conflicts" screens. From the Playback and Delete screens, 'I' presents options for recorded shows such as Auto Expire or Stop Recording. Pressing 'I' while on the Recording Options screen will take you to the Advanced Recording Options screen.

Watching TV or a recording

Keys Action
Up or down keys change the channel
num pad Type a number to enter a channel number or jump amount (HHMM format)
P pause / play
C change inputs on TV Tuner card
ESC quits
I puts the On-screen Display up again. During playback, 'I' toggles between position and show description info. If a jump amount is entered, jump to that position (e.g., '75I' or '115I' will jump to one hour and 15 minutes after the start).
M brings up the menu. While in LiveTV the first item is the EPG, while watching a recording, the first item is Edit Recording.

Remote Controls

If you are using MythTV with just a remote control then it is suggested that you map the remote control keys as described below. Your remote control may not have the same set of keys as those named below, the names are only a suggestion that roughly correspond to the function.

If you are adding new key bindings to the program then consideration of this suggested list will help users with remote controls.

This list assumes a minimal remote control that only has 20 keys, nearly all features can be used with this configuration. If you have more keys then you can access all of the features. With only 16 keys most features are usable.

Remote Control LIRC Keystroke Function
0 - 9 0 - 9 channel selection, EPG navigation, ff/rew speed setting (with stickykeys)
Left Arrow Left scroll left, rewind
Right Arrow Right scroll right, fast forward
Up Arrow Up scroll up, channel change up
Down Arrow Down scroll down, channel change down
Page Up PgUp scroll up one page
Page Down PgDown scroll down one page
Select / OK / Play Space Select item, play (with stickykeys) set bookmark
Cancel Escape Cancel, quit playback
Menu m Show menu
Pause p Pause
Other key 1 i Information
Other key 2 c Change tuner card input

More information

You can control just about any program with your remote control from MythTV by using Lirc. With this you can bind any key or combination of keyboard keys to an remotecontrol button.
