EventGhost

Unfortunately the blasting of the learned code doesn't seem to work.

Do you have the IR blaster cable plugged in? Unlike the USB-UIRT, it needs that.


I thought about that last night and started using a blaster cable but no luck. Are the two female plugs identical? They are numbered but there ...

Ok went back to the latest release version and the Learn IR seems to work. Unfortunately the blasting of the learned code doesn't seem to work.

My faithful USB-UIRT died so I am trying to get an HP MCE IR transeiver to work. Receiving IR commands work. But I can't get the Transmit IR to work since the learn IR will not work. I have the the AlternateMceIrervice installed and it seems to be installed correctly.

I set the learn counter to 3 ...

Sorry for confusing the issue. I didn't expect the PHX01RN plug in to work without modifications so no harm there <grin>. I had assumed that since this was an RF remote, that it would require a different plugin but I will try out the MCE remote plugin tonight. to see how far I get.

I reviewed the PHX01RN plugin. Will this allow me to trap the codes that seem to be trapped by Windows before EventGhost? or does that require a change to the device dll?

Thanks for the comments. As I have played around with the different plug-in, I found that I could almost get things to work but I was not able to trap the volume up/down and power button (and others) that Windows seems to trap before the HID plugin in EventGhost.

Do you think that will be possible ...

I would like to try creating a plugin for the RM-868 RF MCE remote. I have tried using the hid and keyboard plugins but they only work partially. Are there any resources I can tap into to try and create a plug-in that would make effect use of this remote?
Thank you.

I have been looking for a good RF remote to use with EventGhost. I purchased the RM-868 RF/IR MCE remote but I don't see all of the remote buttons show up in EventGhost. I have been using the keyboard plugin as I thought the buttons were translated into key presses but perhaps there is a better ...

FOr some reason my EventGhost /XBMC setup has started acting up (after working well for several weeks). Right now in XBMC when I press on an arrow key on my remote, I get 1 event in Eventghost but 2 event in XBMC. I am assuming the XBMC is getting one from EventGhost and one directly from the remote ...

Just installed the latest version. For some reason every key press has 2 simialr but different codec showing up in EventGhost ...F5????? and ...FD????? where the question marks are the info specific to the key press.

Is this normal or or do I have something funky in my setup
Take Care.

Thanks for confirming. I have alwasy used IR in the oast but with the newly relocated TV the IR interference from the plasmaTV make IR impossible hence the desire for a bluetooth or RF solution.

This thread seems to be pretty quiet. I read through the thread but wasn't able to conclusively determine if there was a version of the plugin that supported the volume up/volume down buttons on the new sony remote with the channel up/down volume up/down at the bottom of the remote. There is a mute ...

I am trying to convert over to the Sony Bluetooth remote so I can avoid the problems with the IR input that suffers from interference from my plasma TV.

There are two issues:
1. The volume up and down buttons on the remote do not appear in eventghost. All of the other buttons I have tried work as ...

I am trying to configure EventGhost so I can use the PVR functionality in XMBC. I have browsed through the XBMC2 tree a couple of times but can't seem to locate the PVR related functions,

Perhaps I am just missing something obvious.
