Bug Description
I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty on a media centre box (using MythTV). There is a keyboard/mouse I can use with the box, but the normal method of interaction is with an IR remote through lirc.
For a while pulseaudio was behaving badly (hey, it was a jaunty alpha), and crashing regularly. This would then leave a crash notification that often wouldn't go away without being clicked on.
It would be nice if notify-osd was lirc aware somehow. No, I can't think of a good UI for this, but I thought I'd bring up the issue. One thought I had is that there should be special notify-osd daemon that interfaces with mythtv. It could handle lirc interaction, and use mythtvosd to display urgent alerts when video is being played.
affects: | notify-osd → notify-osd (Ubuntu) |
Removing the MythTV project for now because this particular project is the link to upstream (issues flagged in trac at svn.mythtv.org). If a patch gets submitted here or there which modifies mythtv then we can point to it, but until then, I don't believe this is the correct bucket.
