EventGhost

Interesting. Using the sleep method versus ping would seem better. Also wondering why first script looks more like bat file than vbscript. Still a better approach over my brute force attempts in past.

Did a work-around... a restart of EG every night.

Easy... Launch this script at any time (Do not let EG wait for it to finish)

EG-restart.vbs

@echo off
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10
cscript H:\EventGhost\Scripts\EG-stop.vbs
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10
CD /D "C:\Program Files\EventGhost"
start EventGhost.exe ...

XP Pro SP3, EG 0.3.6.1487

PC1=HTPC on port 1 of KVM running SageTV, USB-UIRT direct attached
PC2=Sandbox on port 2 of KVM
Gyration keyboard and remote/air mouse dongle attached to KVM USB port and swapped with KVM transfer.

Issue: Gyration device is accessed through HID plugin. Current config ...

Too fast to declare the monster dead.

It appears that the elusive power button is generated by the fifth instance of the Gyration HID handler. When I add a second HID plugin, I have the same "multiple devices found" problem again. A side effect is the multiple key press events, but those can be ...

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. Here is what made it work correctly for me in hopes that it will help the next one along.

1. Use the latest beta- I used 0.3.6.1487 and saw the hot plugging.
2. Set up Gyration correctly- I found old instructions in the GBPVR forum that indicated ...

Normally this should happen automatically.
Do you use the latest beta?
Is there a System.DeviceAttached event, when you plugin in the remote? Any other HID devices to test?

Thanks for the fast reply. I do not show a System.DeviceAttached event in the log. I have another joystick I can add to ...

Hello out there - newbie to EG and stumbling up the learning curve. Would appreciate any help or advice in the following.

I have a Gyration media center remote (RF remote to USB dongle) that I use to control two different PCs. I have a USB KVM switch between the two boxes. I'm using EG with the HID ...
