Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
I'm asking for advice.
How to configure the plugin to control audio directly on a TV? I don't have an AVR, there are HTPC with a CEC-adapter and a TV.
I'm using the 0.4.7b plugin version from the recent message.
I've tried to toggle the AVR Audio option in the plugin settings, I've tried to use Toggle Mute and Send Mute actions - the TV doesn't react.

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
I have the following sequence of events:
Do I need to wait for the Connected event before sending CEC-commands? It would be inconvenient to wait.
Code: Select all
Main.OnInit
Resume
Pulse-Eight CEC+: Power On TV: Adapter: Pioneer on COM3
CEC: Adapter Pioneer on com port COM3 not found
PulseEight.Adapter.Pioneer.Connected

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
controlling audio directly on the TV you need to use the remote buttons.
Remote button Volume Up and Down.
also can you provide me with a screen shot of the events you are questioning. I am trying to picture what they are but seeing the Main.OnInit and then the Resume i am getting confused with.

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
OK never mind about the last part of my last message.
You are having EG perform a specific action when EG starts up....
I do not remember if I set up the plugin to generate an event when it connects or if it is just a message So I will still need the screen shot.

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
ok i did some looking I do generate an event for when the device is connected. Unfortunately no matter how I set up the actions it is always going to have to wait until it is connected. There is no way around that. I am not in control of how fast the thing is able to make the connection to the adapter. You will have to use the connected event instead of the Main.OnInit event to do whatever it is you want to do.
Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
Hello, i like this new version of the plugin, my only issue is that, i have 2 hdmi connected to my pc
1) going to the avr for audio
2) going to the tv for video
i had to use this configuration becouse my avr doesn't support HDR, and audio straight to tv doesn't support 5.1 uncompressed audio
my cec adapter always picks up the wrong hdmi, so my tv switches to the avr channel instead of using the direct one.
When i use the cec tray panel i flag connected to the tv and everything works. is this feature planned?
thanks in advice

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
let me take a look at the code for cectray and I will get back to you. I need to see what it does first.
Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
Can someone please give me a hand with which versions I am supposed to be using to get this plugin to work?
I have tried every combination i can think of but I am getting errors.
Either Eventghost crashes completely or my latest attempt using EG 0.5.0 RC6, PlusEightPlus plugin 0.4.7b and LibCEC 4.0.2 taken from the GitHub thread #357 (I've also tried 4.0.3 taken directly from PlusEight) then I get the Python based errors about "DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found" that I thought had been dealt with back in 2017.
Other people seem to be getting this to work but I am having no luck. I must be doing something wrong.
Thanks

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
you need to uninstall anything related to pulse eight and then install the plugin.
Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
I've tried that - or I think I have. Uninstalled the Pulse-Eight drivers and LibCEC software. Deleted PulseEightPlus plugin folder from Program data. Restarted PC. Reinstalled the plugin 0.4.7b and then tried to install the plugin from Eventghost and I get the following traceback
Error loading plugin file: C:\ProgramData\EventGhost\plugins\PulseEightPlus

I so want to get this to work and I really appreciate the work people have put into this but I'm a bit stuck.
I'd be grateful for any help

save and close EventGhost
open Windows Explorer (File Explorer)in the address bar type in
press enter..
delete any folders that have "PulseEight" in the name
in the address bar type in
press enter
delete any folders that have pulse eight in the name

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
No same result I'm afraid with similar but not quite identical errors

I did all you said - in fact reinstalled EG 0.5.0 from scratch because I had 0.4 running before (which I uninstalled) just to make sure it wasn't that.
I do appreciate the work you're doing on this.
Best regards
