[REQUEST] Revive two excellent programs

Post by zootoxin »

Good Morning All,

Now I am by no means a coder but I do like to get as much functionality out of my computers and gadgets as I can.

Well, I know a lot of you are familiar with Event Ghost and how amazing it is but as you will also know it was a small community.

While using event ghost I have come across two plugins with great potential that I feel if one or several of you gifted individuals saw fit you could transform this plugins from potential to greatness.

The plugins are:

EventGhost for Droid
EventGhost for Android - This basically gives allows you to trigger events on your event ghost PC via your android device. It also receives events too.
For Example - On running XBMC an event can be sent to the android device which triggers the layout you use as a remote.

The plugin works and works well but I feel it could do so much more.

Event Receiver

The XBMC to event ghost event receiver - exactly what it says on the tin..
Again this works but the events received at the moment aren't exactly straight forward and I feel someone with the right ability could really lift this plugin to make it essential for any XBMC user..

Now, the only reason I have posted this here for all comers is because the original plugin authors don't seem to be around or working on the projects and I feel its a shame to waste such potential.

Even I was writing this I thought: how cool would it be if you launched your advanced launcher SNES rom and a picture displaying the controls displayed on your tablet or maybe if you launched a movie the plot and rating etc displayed on the tablet.

The possibilities are endless

Hi

It's not the Event receiver plugin but I'm adding XBMC events support to my XBMC2 plugin.

looking forward to this... I'd love to start automating things based on what XBMC is actually doing... TV, movie, music, etc.
setup... XBMC, W7MC for DVR & Live OTA TV, JRMC for multi-zone audio, EG, MiCasaVerde Vera3, USB-UIRT IR receiver, Harmony remote, 5.2 home theater system

Any chance you could try the test version that I posted on Saturday? I kinda would like to know if it actually works for anybody but me. :| :D
