EventGhost

With the old EventServer you could choose to turn on broadcasting at high level (including button presses etc).
Is that possible now?

I had a timer triggered on left, right, up, down etc so that a macro could shut down some AV equipment when inactive for a couple of minutes

Great. No more problems where the XBMC Event Receiver plugin stops responding.

Thanks a million!!

Great. I don't know how the XBMC Event Server works, but I guess it will just broadcast simple play, stop etc and then the XBMC Event Receiver plugin will use the HTTP API to get what's playing.
Must be the decoding on that read that's not done properly as getcurrentlyplaying will show the same none ...

Hi!

I'm getting the following error in EG:

error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <eg.PluginModule.XBMCEventReceiver.Server connected :8278 at 0x4d69f58> (<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>:'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 45: ordinal not in range(128) [asyncore ...

Are you sure??
I tried but no luck...

Is it possible to use multiple USB-UIRT devices in some way?
(I have already used the uurename utility to give them "unique" names)

The above should be solved if the plugin could retrieve media type ("Type:Audio" or "Type:Video") from /xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=getcurrentlyplaying on every "OnPlaybackStarted" and "OnPlaybackResumed" instead of just on "OnMediaChange" I think.

Events like this:
XBMCEvent.OnPlaybackResumed.Video ...

Thanks!

I now parse the event created by XBMC Event Receiver and create (for me) more usable events.
A little problem remains though. The "XBMC.<b>MediaChanged:<li>MovieTitle:Whatever;1</b>" shows when starting a new video file. But if you start and resume the same file this is never shown.
Is ...

How do you use this action?
I get no response at all under Windows 7 32bit using Admin rights running EventGhost. Should it return an event?
Change registry action works as expected.

Yes, I think there is a standard. And I know there is/was a plugin for MediaPortal that had this kind of feature.

Thanks!!

Thanks!
So "XBMC-Event.<b>MediaChanged:<li>MovieTitle:The Pony Remark;192.168.0.3;1</b>" should be formated like this:
"XBMC-Event.MediaChanged.MovieTitle ['The Pony Remark', '192.168.0.3']" to be more useful??

What I'm looking for is "MovieTitle" as this indicates that a video file is played and ...

Is it possible via Bluetooth to get an event when I receive an incoming call on my iPhone?
As I control everything with my iPhone I can't mute the audio or pause the playback until after I pick up. So it would be great to dim the volume on my receiver or pause media playback on incoming call.

Any ...

Great plugin!!!

Do you know if there is a way in EventGhost to match partial event name?
I would like to trigger a macro just on movie playback.

XBMC-Event.<b>MediaChanged:<li>MovieTitle:The Pony Remark;192.168.0.3;1</b>

The event contains the title (wich of course is variable). So I would like ...

Is it possible to use asterix (*) or in some way trigger macros on partial matched events?
Let's say the event is called "XBMC-Event.<b>MediaChanged:<li>MovieTitle:The Pony Remark;192.168.0.3;1</b>"

I would like to have a macro triggered on the first part ("XBMC-Event.<b>MediaChanged:<li>MovieTitle ...
