I'm trying to figure out the RasPlex remote control stuff -- is there any way to have a button on the remote control run a shell script?   I've figured out how to configure the remote control, but I'm not sure how to configure an action that executes a shell script (I want to send a custom cec-client command when the power button on the remote is pressed).   Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! ---

Edit /storage/.plexht/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml "yellow" is the name of CEC button You can watch /storage/.plexht/temp/plexhometheater.log to see the pressed button names You might need to enable logging via rasplex GUI. You need to create python script for each action.             RunScript(/storage/.plexht/tv\_lights\_off.py)       ---
