Re: Launch an Application from Remote Control using EG

It doesn't appear that my PC is "seeing" when I press, for example, the RED or YELLOW button on the remote... I see no record in EG's log about the action... Or am I doing something wrong?

Does that mean that the receiver isn't the "ideal" one?

What are known-compatible USB receivers that would ...

Re: Launch an Application from Remote Control using EG

I have the Logitech 650 but I am not certain I am using their USB dongle... I have a Logitech K400r wireless keyboard/mouse which came with a small Logitech-branded USB and I've got another (unlogoed) USB receiver that I cannot recall where it comes from.

In other news, I found my FLIRC and was ...

Re: Launch an Application from Remote Control using EG

Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it.

I'm currently able to control PLEX on my PC from the remote... Do I need additional "control" provided by FLIRC or CEC, or does the Logitech 650 Remote's USB dongle provide enough control?

I DO have a FLIRC! I hope I can find it -- we moved ...

Launch an Application from Remote Control using EG

Though I have been a member of this forum since 2010, I am brand-new to EventGhost...

I read that it could be configured to allow me to press a button (the Red button) on my remote (a Harmony 650) to launch an application on my PC (Windows 10). The application is Plex Home Theater.

I do not have ...

Re: Harmony, BeyondTV and USB-UIRT

Any comments on my XML? I'm still encountering the problem...

I've got Logitech's Remote software (7.6.0) and EventGhost installed and still getting double-presses in BeyondTV... I'd love to get this solved!

Re: Harmony, BeyondTV and USB-UIRT

If anyone has time/inclination to review my XML (above) to make sure I'm not making some bonehead mistake (not out of the question!), I'd appreciate it. If that doesn't reveal mistakes, I will add a different MCE remote...

Thanks!

Re: Harmony, BeyondTV and USB-UIRT

BTDT. Same situation.

Oh, and pressing the keys on the keyboard (not the remote) works as expected -- no double-keys.

In case it might help, I'm attaching my configuration XML for perusal/comment. It's my first attempt (and is incomplete right now), so I welcome any suggestions.

I've currently ...

Re: Harmony, BeyondTV and USB-UIRT

I am at my USB-UIRT/EG install right now. It DOES appear that the key-codes are being sent twice, so I attempted to enable the Configuation item "Pass short repeat codes as enduring events" for USB-UIRT (it had been UNCHECKED), per Brett's suggestion. When I checked that item, the following appeared ...

Thanks for your assistance!

Will check it out this evening (once I get home) and report back. Is there anything else I can/should try?

Re: Harmony, BeyondTV and USB-UIRT

Thanks for your reply. It is happening with NO plugin... It's a custom context that I've done manually. Please see attached screenshots (don't worry that USB-UIRT plugin is throwing an error... I own it, but it is disconnected until I can get this resolved).

Please let me know of any questions, and ...

Re: Harmony, BeyondTV and USB-UIRT

Okay, so I've got my remote (Harmony 890 Advanced) mostly working with USBUIRT and EventGhost 0.3.7r1387 on Windows XP Pro SP3.

The only problem I am currently facing is that when I press a key on my remote that sends {Right} or {Left}, it double-sends. I am in exclusive mode, and there is only one ...

Re: Harmony, BeyondTV and USB-UIRT

You need to add an MCE device to the harmony using the harmony software. Basically what you do to add a new DVD or stereo, just pick an MCE computer instead. It should then be able to transmit the MCE IR signals.
Just tried it in my Logitech Harmony Remote Software (7.6.0) and am unsure of how to ...

Thanks, Brett! I appreciate the information... I wasn't sure where to look.
