XBMC kill when RPi are in Standby

[mk01]

when XBMC starts screensaver, XBIAN changes XBMC's priority to very very low. this together with taking only 15% by default, is not taking more than 5-7% of cpu time.

but still if you want to kill it, there is upstart script "xbmc-screensaver". when this changes state to "running", you know XBMC turned on screensaver. then you can create very simple upstart job like this:

Code:

start on started xbmc-screensaver

exec stop xbmc

with running xbmc back on you have a play a bit, but one of the solutions would be enhance this job for a loop which is asking TV status. if is not "standby", start xbmc

Code:

start on started xbmc-screensaver

pre-start exec stop -qn xbmc || :

script
   while :; do
      echo "pow 0" >> /run/cc/in
      [ "$(tail -1 /run/cc/out)" = standby ] || break
   done
end script

post-stop start -nq xbmc || :
