[mythtvnz] mythtv-status

[Karl -skooobie]

can you try other config keys, such as colour:0 ? Do you see greens and
reds?

Here's my process:

kh at kh:~$sudo touch ~/mythtv-status.yml
kh at kh:~$sudo chmod 775 mythtv-status.yml
kh at kh:~$echo 'encoder_skip_idle: 0' >> ~/mythtv-status.yml
kh at kh:~$echo 'colour: 1' >> ~/mythtv-status.yml
kh at kh:~$echo 'encoder_details: 0' >> ~/mythtv-status.yml
kh at kh:~$ cat mythtv-status.yml
encoder_skip_idle: 0
colour: 1
encoder-details: 1
