Mailing List Archive: MythVideo/Mplayer Volume Control via Remote

In order to control the sound in MPlayer (using MythVideo), I had to add the following entries to my $HOME/.lircrc file:

begin prog = irxevent button = vol- config = Key KP_Divide MPlayerend

begin prog = irxevent button = vol+ config = Key KP_Multiply MPlayerend
....tweak the "button" entries, and you're set. It's important to note that you CAN have multiple entries per button (which is why this works.)
Hope this helps someone. :)
