EventGhost

That's cool. I'm going to try to get mine working... If I have any success I'll post up here.

Yeah, I completely get it. Never tried it.

I assume the plug-in would have to append a unique identifier to each event to define where it came from... like add a -1 for the first unit and a -2 for the second.

I'm pretty sure the USBUIRT driver can support multiple units.

I'd find a cheap powered emmitter connecting block and try that to pump up the juice and take the load off of the USB_UIRT.

You can get these cheaper... but it should do the trick.

Seems like the lockups are hardware related.

Do you have emitters plugged in?

There's a hardware fix in a thread somewhere around here if you're handy.

Whoa.. not sure I understand your setup.

Are you using the two emitter outputs from the single USB-UIRT to feed like 10 separate emitters?

If so, you're probably overloading the USB_UIRTS ability to supply current to all those emitters.

Zantech (and others, check Ebay), make powered connecting ...

Something doesn't sound right. I do this with my setup.

The way I set it up was to go into the USB_UIRT plugin config and check "Pass repeated events as enduring events".

Then in the macro, add the 'autorepeat current macro' EventGhost 'action' after your transmit action.

Let me know if that ...

Did you add the Generic HID plugin?

You need to add that plugin in order to get events from keyboard and mouse.

I know, it's not obvious.

There's also a 'keyboard' plugin.

I'm no authority here, but the concept is to increase the ability of the circuit to withstand current draws which result in voltage drops as the emitters are fired.

Fast and/or significant current draws on a circuit can cause voltage drops if the power supply can't respond quickly enough to ...

Nice work. I just added wired emitters to mine today and got locked up once...

If it happens again, I'm going to use your hardware mods... Thanks,

Found an MCE plugin that will do the trick from the command line...

Cheers.

EDIT: Better yet, used a python script to poke the plugin directly... it's faster than using the execute program action with command lines ...

Searched and couldn't find a reference to this issue.

I'm using the OSD action to display a small text window when I toggle some modes.

Problem is, the OSD window doesn't display topmost so when I'm running MediaCenter full screen, I never see the popup.

Anyone have an easy way to do this ...

SOLVED.

Tried my ClipCursor code and it didn't work at all.

Poked around with the 'Compatibility' settings in the Windows 'Properties' dialog for EventGhost. This is the dialog you get when you right click on the app or app icon and select properties.

I'm running 64bit windows 7 so I tried ...

Ok, either this is a bug in the auiManager class in the python version EG uses, or it's a problem in the way EG has written its code that uses auiManager.

I'm a Windows guy, not a Python guy, so I'm going to try my ClipCursor hack later... If that works, I'm good.

Otherwise, maybe there's a Python ...

lol kfoster...

Meh. was an expression of my disgust... not my name! lol.

Anyway, thanks for the response... I'll update my results...

It's Alive! (the thread that is, hehe)...

Ok, I'm closing in on this one.

This appears to be associated with the EventGhost user interface behaving oddly/badly.

My first hunch is that this problem only exists on 64-bit versions of Windows. Can anyone confirm what OS they are seeing the issue on ...
