In the attached image, you can see a macro I have created called stop recording satellite. The very last action of that macro is to display a blank image over most of my desktop. Just before that I have a left click action, which clicks the stop button on my video capture device software. The ...

That is so obvious. I don't know why I overlooked that. I knew it had to be something simple that was preventing my macros from launching. Thanks for your help.

It's kind of a complicated and incomplete system, but the macros I am having issues with are contained within the media selection menu folder and the source switching folder which is inside of that one. They are found within one of the main folders called TV and Media.

Just a few days ago I noticed that the trigger event action is not working. The event to be triggered shows up in the log, but it does not execute the macro. Even if I click on the event in the event log and drag it to the top of my macro, the macro will still not be executed. I didn't change the ...

Thanks. I just didn't know the basic formatting standards for this type of script. The documentation on the eg website seemed to indicate I needed all of that extra stuff.

Okay, that helps. However, I'm getting the same error in line 1. I copied to Python exactly the code from those three actions:

eg.plugins.sion="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1610">
<Action Name="satellite down arrow">
USB_UIRT.TransmitIR(u'0000 006C 0022 0002 0158 00AD 0015 0016 ...

I am trying to learn how to do Python scripts, but I cannot find any tutorial. What I am trying to do is quite simple. I'm trying to execute a series of actions for my satellite DVR receiver with USB-uirt. Here are the actions in my macro:

satellite down arrow
wait .5 seconds
satellite delete

I'm trying to create a macro which requires a process detecting action. For example, I need to know if Windows Media Center is currently open. Whether a process is running or not will determine if the macro can be executed. I thought process watcher might be what I need, but I can't figure out how ...

I am wanting to get an RF remote to use with EG. I will use EG to control Windows Media Center and also my TV, satellite receiver, and stereo receiver using a USB-UIRT. I am thinking of using the Snapstream Firefly as my remote. Will it work well with EG?

I have a weird issue with EG regarding moving the mouse cursor and clicking. If my macro moves the mouse to specified coordinates and then clicks, it works as expected. However, if the macro tells the cursor to click and then move to a location, the click command does not occur. It's as if the first ...

Is there a way to trigger an action based on the appearance of a specific string of text in a text file. For example, I have another macro that will copy a string of text and paste into that text file. I need EG to be able to detect a specific string of text and perform an action if it is the ...

My apologies for not explaining more clearly. However I have now figured it out. I needed to use the clear pending events action. I had tried before and it didn't work, but it was not placed in the right order in the macro sequence.

Does anyone know how to create a macro that will trigger a macro in auto hotkey?

I have a macro set that will start a timer after all of its actions have been completed. After a number of seconds, that timer initiates an event, which is placed at the beginning of the same macro. So it will basically repeat the macro continually once it has been executed to begin with. What I ...

thanks
