I started with LinuxMCE in July of 2010. Home automation is a hobby of mine and LinuxMCE offers all the flexibility that I need. I have experience with system/backend level programming on linux and am willing to contribute back to the project where ever it makes sense. Unfortunately I do not have time to work on LinuxMCE consistently. With an upcoming international relocation/move and a new baby things are a bit busy for me. I hope to be back working on the project on a more stable schedule in 2012.

For some reason when the code was removed the 'HOME' key didn't switch back on the Orbiter OSD. I'm wondering if I make this change will I break something there. Need to look at the Orbiter's ''Orbiter::GotActivity( int PK_Button )'' function. It turns on the screen if it is off. ''if( !m_bDisplayOn ) CMD_Display_OnOff( "1",false )''. Maybe m_bDisplayOn is getting set for the case when audio is playing with no video.


	Might also consider turning off the OSD if only audio is playing and the audio was started via a remote Orbiter. I think that could be accomplished by not setting the ''pMediaDevice_MD->m_bDontSendOffIfOSD_ON''.

	I'm having issues when pressing the Power button on my [[Gyration_GYR4101US]] remote.

I'm having issues when pressing the Power button on my [[Gyration_GYR4101US]] remote. If I'm controlling a non-pluto device, and press power, the device turns off but my receiver and TV are not switched back to the Orbiter OSD.

			This isn't fixed yet. The fix that is in place won't work correctly for Live AV audio sources. They will still turn the TV back on. Need to read and understand this function. Right now in ''StreamEnded'' it calls this function with 0 and NULL for the ''Current'' arguments. I might be able to pass in the MD's device and use the Prior media type for the current media type and things will work. Need to test this.
