EventGhost

I installed a usb uirt in Windows 8.1 64 bit using the latest drivers from the usb uirt page. The device seems to be installed in the device manager with no issues.

However in eventghost I see:
error starting plugin:USB-UIRT
Device not found

Any ideas?

sorry I meant:
Does anyone know if itÔÇÖs possible to send a command that will switch which HDMI INPUT is used for HDMI pass through when the Onkyo receiver is off?

Or is there a command that will toggle the TV audio out?

thanks!

I'm using the Onkyo ISCP plug in.

Does anyone know if itÔÇÖs possible to send a command that will switch which HDMI port is used for HDMI pass through when the Onkyo receiver is off?

If so what is the command?

Are there release notes anywhere?

thanks for all the hard work,

I've noticed the same thing. My guess is the machine just can't handle everything that's running simultaneously. I think it usually happens when I switch to the HTPC input on my TV and receiver - the recorded tv section is brought up - I believe I'm having to wait for the second hard drive to spin ...

So you want to run eventghost on 2 different machines and have both instances communicate with each other? If so I'm working on a similar thing. There are send and receive plug-ins to do that - however I've had very little success with them.

My answer has been to create web server pages on each ...

I started using this plugin and it works great. Can someone here recommend software I could use to to reverse engineer the apple remote app? I would like to come up with a way to toggle airplay devices. It looks like everything else I would need is already covered in this plugin.

thanks for all the ...

Ok. I was finally able to get the MCE plugin to record the codes. Record first code, save file, record second code, crash, startover, etc until I had all 3 codes learned. It seems to be related to multiple remote button presses. Unfortunately the blasted code only seems to work 1 out of every 3-5 ...

I don't want my HTPC screen to be locked but every once and a while it happens. What I'm going to end up doing is keeping a media center IR remote on the table just to log in or unlock if necessary.

Has anyone found a way to use eventhghost during the lock screen (windows 7 64 bit)? I assume you can't just run it as a service or schedule at start-up.

As far as I know the only program I've ever seen work during the lock screen, during a UAC prompt, and at the log-in screen is input director.

Would it be possible to enable or disable airplay devices? It would be awesome if I could use this to start a playlist and then switch which airport expresses are playing.

thanks for all the work,

Does EventGhost support multiple USB UIRT's? I found a post from 2008 saying you need to run a utility, but there's no link to the thing. Has this all been taken care of since then?

it gave me an error saying: if data.find("622") != -1:
9:06:59 AM AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'find'

I noticed in the latest version of event ghost I can put a query registry action followed by a jump to (if last action was successful) action. I can then add ...

this is the error message I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
Python script "2", line 1, in <module>
f = open("E:\eventghost web server\test.txt")
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('r') or filename: 'E:\\eventghost web server\test.txt'

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work?

f = open("E:\eventghost web server\test.txt")
data = f.read

if data=="622":
eg.TriggerEvent("HTTP.onkyo.receiver.zone2.poweroff");
if data=="922":
eg.TriggerEvent("HTTP.onkyo.receiver.zone2.poweron");

f.close()
