EventGhost

ok post up a plugin and I'll test it. FYI, I am not running the new 0.5 Beta versions of EventGhost. Still on the last version that Pako posted up.

@kgschlosser, sounds good. I'm already using the old 0.2 version of this plugin and can confirm it can turn my TV on and off using the builtin macro commands. I do not have a Github account but I'll try to set one up when we get closer to test time.

I have a 2015 Sony XBRx830c that I can use to help testing. I'm also based on the east coast of the US. I do have one request. I would like a feed back / status signal if the TV is displaying the Android desktop or any Android app. This is needed so that I can auto change my AV receiver from HDMI ...

OK so I finally got back from my vacation and just set this up and it worked. Thanks everyone for showing me the ropes. Now I can do a lot of things

Thanks guys for the How-To. I'll try it out later tonight and will report back.

Thanks for the reply. I can set the URL to anything I like from within the settings interface of the Addon in Kodi. I figure my URL I provide the addon in Kodi would be something like "http://127.0.0.1/<some html page>".

My issue is Synergy is ...

I finally took the time to setup different key mappings for my remote based on the active task in my foreground. To do this I used the task plugin to trigger certain macros when say Task.kodi.activated is triggered. My setup worked great while I was actually using it. Once I shut the TV off ...

I can't get this working in windows 10 either. I followed the directions exactly

I got it to work with the Generic HID plugin. Apparently the way to go

Update, finally got it to work. After following the steps of disabling driver signature, I had to run eventghost as administrator to give it ...

Finally had a chance to look into this.

I just updated to the latest version you just posted Hmm, we seem to have different concepts of time. :mrgreen:

I just updated to the latest version you just posted and again I am no longer receiving events when Kodi started playback or stop playback of media files. Can you look into why this has been happening?

thanks for getting back to me. I'll wait patiently till a fix is provided as I am in no dire need to create custom json commands. Was just trying to do some testing at the time. As for the latest update I can report back that the events received from kodi have been working great. My macros triggered ...

so I think I found an issue with the plugin. I tried to add a custom JSON command to my logic tree to launch the pandoki xbmc addon. The json command I chose was the ExecuteAddon with the following argument ['plugin.audio.pandoki']. When I press the OK or APPLY buttons in the configure action dialog ...
