EventGhost

If anyone ever has the same issue, I installed the complete firefly driver which includes Beyond Media Basic. When I asked, I chose not to launch Beyond Media. My system acts like it has the base driver on it, however, it responds to each keypress. I never had to do this before, but at least it ...

I restaged Windows and found my other Firefly receiver. Installed the driver from the eventghost site, plugged it in, installed Eventghost, and it is still doing it.

Tried new ones, and old ones.

I am unsure if this is related to Eventghost, the driver, or something else, but my Firefly only responds to every other keypress. In other words, I have to push pause twice to pause.

I have two remotes, but only one receiver, both remotes do this. I have had the remotes for awhile, reconfiguring ...

I connected a second USB dongle and disabled the internal COM port. All is working fine.

The ironic thing, is that EG is working better with the USB then with the built in. I will try to use two USB's. I already have the other dongle. It's nearly impossible to find a modern motherboard with two onboard COM ports. I have a receiver and a plasma that I want to control.

My best guess is no.

I am using this adapter.

No matter what port I set the USB dongle to, it works in EG. The built in COM port only seems to work in EG if the USB dongle is disabled. COM1 works in the Yamaha application irregardless of what the USB device is set to, and works when it is enabled or disabled.

Something is being a bit finicky ...

I agree, that is what it looks like. I do login as administrator, and my Yamaha application does work with the COM port. If the Yamaha were to keep running after an exit, EG doesn't work after a reboot. If something in startup accessed the COM port, then the Yamaha application wouldn't run.

I can ...

The additional error is:

SerialException: could not open port: (5, 'CreateFile', 'Access is denied.')

I have been using EG for a couple of weeks and everything has been fine. I just started experiencing a problem with my COM port. I get two errors when EG starts.

Error Starting Plugin: Serial Port
Can't open COM port

I know that the COM port does work, if I use it with my receiver application, it ...

IÔÇÖll have to check it out. I stopped monitoring the thread frequently as I solved my problem with the script. If I can not use the script because programs are better logged that would be great. I will try and post my results when I can.

Here is my AutoHotKey script in case someone needs it for reference.

Loop

{
WinWaitActive, Beyond TV
WinWaitClose, Beyond TV
Run, "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe" -e QuitBeyondTV
WinActivate, Meedio
}

There maybe better ways of doing this, but it does work.

Now I can use the Main ...

The easiest solution would be, if BeyondTV could be configured to launch some kind of "shutdown .BAT" on exit, that could be used to trigger an event.

I created a script in AutoHotKey that recognizes Beyond TV quitting. What should I put in the script, and how do I get EventGhost to recognize it ...

There are two ways I can quit. One is the hit the ÔÇ£CloseÔÇØ button on my Firefly. The other is to quit by pushing ÔÇ£OKÔÇØ on the Firefly while on the ÔÇ£Exit Beyond TVÔÇØ selection of the Beyond TV GUI.

If I use the ÔÇ£CloseÔÇØ button, I can put a command to enable ÔÇ£MeedioÔÇØ, but if I just ...
