Works great thank you. However, I liss one important functionality ! I would like to be able to use the mouse pointing function with a sensor bar when playing with mythbrowser. I tested this with wminput and it works ok, but wminput is not as attractive as mythpywii. If you could add this fuinctionality to your program it would be great, we could then use the wiimote to surf using mythweb, provided of course, there is an external sensor bar !

Yes it is possible to run the script at the same time as you run mythfrontend – I do so by modifying my mythfrontend shell script script and running MythPyWii using screen. In Ubuntu, open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install screen; sudo gedit /usr/bin/mythfrontend

Then I add to the first blank line (line 4 for me):

/usr/bin/screen -d -m /usr/bin/python /home/crayzee/Desktop/myth_py_wii.py

You’ll have to do this whenever you update mythfrontend. Another way to do it is to create a new script (e.g. “~/launchmyth.sh”) which contains something like this:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/screen -d -m /usr/bin/python /home/crayzee/Desktop/myth_py_wii.py
/usr/bin/mythfrontend

And then run that instead of “mythfrontend” (e.g. “bash ~/launchmyth.sh”).

I hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Benjie.

Do I need to always manually run the script then the mythtv frontend in order to activate the Wii remote? If yes, it is possible to add to do when mythtv is booting up?
