Re: Executing stuff on shutdown, plus standby stuff.
I'm not sure I've had an issue with a "wait" command not working, but as a temporary workaround you could have an event trigger the stuff you want to do before shutdown, then at the end of the event chain use the triggerevent function that actually shuts down. Thats what I always do to avoif any ...

It looks like you knew what you were doing but for a different language closely resembling C or C++

Re: Get Item State, misunderstanding?
After seeing your response and reading my code I honestly have no idea wtf I was doing.
My only excuse is that I've not written python since last year, but holy crow that was bad.
(Thankfully eg takes care of most of that troublesome code without me ever lifting a finger)

Get Item State, misunderstanding?
I was wanting to toy around with the Get item state event, but I'm clearly doing something wrong because Eventghost hates the following:
Specifically the python code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Re: HID buttons, blocking modifyer
I actually learned just yesterday that these keys are APPS key shortcuts such as "BrowserHome" and "Back", which on one of these keyboards launch the default browser to the homepage, and a back web command respectively. I guess the issue is that they are't "seen" by eventghost, or at least are not ...

Re: HID buttons, blocking modifyer
Yeah rereading that was unclear, I meant that this might be good for the Generic HID plugin.

Go ahead and put this on the backburner, the furthest one back, as it is a non-issue, but could be a QOL feature for the future.

Re: State Logic. A too complicated solution?
What you are looking at here is the setup, but with temporary values placed in the macros where ir codes would be.
What happens:
I press the "Listeners" enable key
it enables any concerning listeners
if a key is pressed, then all other modes are disabled
that mode triggers an event

State Logic. A too complicated solution?
All,
I am wondering about an implemented solution to a problem I had.
So I am using the Microsoft MCE Remote (Vista+) to read an ir-transceiver usb dongle and an old ir remote I had lying around. With this I thought that it would be nice to have a set of things that my remote did like launch ...

Re: Re-run macro until condition X is true/false
Also, how is the TV connected, you could try looking at the HID plugin.
Or the device might throw an event like "System.DeviceAttached [u'\\\\?\\DISPLAY#GSM0001#4&279bcb2c&0&UID198147#{e6f07b5f-ee97-4a90-b076-33f57bf4eaa7}']" in the log you might be able to use.

Re: Re-run macro until condition X is true/false
Maybe a silly question, but have you tried running kodi with some cmd arguments?
The arguments aren't annoyingly hard to find, but it looks like "-fs" is for fullscreen.
Then these might be useful too:
--standalone runs in a stand alone environment without a window
--legacy-res Enables screen ...
