LinHES

sudo pacman -Sy mythpywii
You'll need to manually start mythpywii after installing... I'm sure you've seen the video. I plan to have the package add it to ~/.fluxbox/apps before LinHES-run is ran. Anything else needed?

1) Module "uinput" needs to be added to /etc/rc.conf

2A) Need to create udev rule so "mythtv" can use uinput (defalts to 600 owned by root)

2B) Create /etc/udev/rules.d/z99-local.rules # For Bluetooth/WiiMote
KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="mythtv"

3) My bluetooth device was not brought up (like a network interface) at boot. As a quick and dirty work around I placed the following in /etc/runit/1.local: # For Bluetooth/WiiMote
/usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 up

Full path was required else hciconfig was not found. hci? will need adjusting if there is more than one bluetooth adapter in a machine. If you have a better place than 1.local, by all means adjust it. (runit service?)

4) Add the following line before LinHES-run in ~mythtv/.fluxbox/apps
[startup] {/usr/bin/myth_py_wii.py}

That's it so far. I can connect my wiimote via bluetooth, but no buttons work yet. Will take a look at config files later.

Also add the following to /etc/runit/1.local:

======This post overrides all others made by me with regard to how this works:======

1) Patch /usr/bin/myth_py_wii.py (diff attached, but it is untested as far as patching is concerned!) The patch is simple and changes only one line of code.
Change line 151 def wmcb(self, messages): to def wmcb(self, messages, timeIgnore): 2) Module "uinput" needs to be added to /etc/rc.conf 3) Need to create udev rule so "mythtv" can use uinput (defaults to 600 owned by root) Create /etc/udev/rules.d/z90-wiimote.rules # For Bluetooth/WiiMote KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="mythtv" 4) My bluetooth device was not brought up (like a network interface) at boot. As a quick and dirty work around I placed the following in /etc/runit/1.local: # For Bluetooth/WiiMote /usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 up Full path was required else hciconfig was not found. hciX will need adjusting if there is more than one bluetooth adapter in a machine. If you have a better place than 1.local, by all means adjust it. (runit service?) 5) Copy cwiid config files to mythtv's home directory: mkdir -p /home/mythtv/.cwiid/wminput cp /etc/cwiid/wminput/* /home/mythtv/.cwiid/wminput/ chown -R mythtv:mythtv /home/mythtv/.cwiid 6) Add the following line ==before== LinHES-run in ~mythtv/.fluxbox/apps [startup] {/usr/bin/myth_py_wii.py} That's it. It works.
