Hello.
I want to do 2 things with VDR.
1) Autostart Xine pointing to the VDR MRL when user 'vdruser' logs in Can anyone tell me what command line I should use, and where I should put it? I tried putting 'xine -L --fullscreen --geometry 720x576 --borderless --hide-gui --no-logo --no-splash vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes' as follows :
[vdruser@media ~]$ less ~/.gnome2/session-manual [Default] num_clients=1 0,RestartStyleHint=3 0,Priority=70 0,RestartCommand='xine -L --fullscreen --geometry 720x576 --borderless --hide-gui --no-logo --no-splash vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes'
but that doesn't work
2) Create a shortcut Desktop icon that launches the VDR MRL under Xine. For this, I tried making an icon : [vdruser@media Desktop]$ cat ~/Desktop/Xinevdr.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=No name Type=Application Exec=xine -L --fullscreen --geometry 720x576 --borderless --hide-gui --no-logo --no-splash vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes TryExec= X-GNOME-DocPath= Terminal=true Name[en_US]=Xine2 GenericName[en_US]= Comment[en_US]=
But this doesn't work either.
Any ideas?

One possible option is to create file /etc/X11/xinit.d/runxine with executable permissions: #!/bin/sh [[ "$(id -un)" == "vdruser" ]] && exec xine -L --fullscreen --geometry 720x576 --borderless --hide-gui --no-logo --no-splash vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
The file is run (at least here with Mandriva) when user logs in to X session.

I'd append '&' and put it in ~vdruser/.Xsession.

I don't have a file/directory .Xsession ??
what creates that??

That's assuming that your default/preferred WM is launched from there. Otherwise, if it's the last thing to be run from that file, use exec and don't background it.

An action on the part of the user. ;-)
