Currently running the MythTV .28 frontend on the Raspberry Pi (on Raspberian).
Everything is working fine, until I exit. When I exit I get several options (Exit, Exit and Shutdown, Exit and Reboot). When I simply select "Exit", the TV gets turned off, but the Raspberry stays up. I want "Exit" to return me to the main Raspberian screen without turning off the TV. Possible?

Re: MythTV Frontend shuts off TV
Thanks!
For others, I updated: /usr/share/applications/mythtv.desktop and added
-O PowerOffTVOnExit=0
to the Exec line:
Exec=/usr/bin/mythfrontend -O PowerOffTVOnExit=0 --logpath /tmp

Re: MythTV Frontend shuts off TV
Hmm. If I select "Shutdown" instead of "Exit" then this will prevent the Pi from shutting down and turning off the TV at the same time. I'd like to be able to Exit (back to the OS) or Shutdown (and turn off the TV)
Re: MythTV Frontend shuts off TV
Option 1:
You can assign keys on your remote to TV power on and TV power off so that your MythTV remote can power off the TV.
Option 2:
You can install cec-utils and then use commands like this
Power off TV:
Power on TV:
There is information at http://blog.endpoint.com/2012/11/using- ... vices.html or search for CEC.
You will have to figure out some way to get the power off to run during shutdown. One possibility is to modify the shutdown command in MythTV frontend setup to invoke a script that runs this before shutdown.
