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

[...]

but that doesn't work

2. Create a shortcut Desktop icon that launches the VDR MRL under Xine.

[...]

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.
