Sending events to eventghost from another application

Post by zach_morris »

Is it possible to send events/actions to eventghost from another application?

I'm interested in sending actions from the XBMC program (not the remote) to eventghost to trigger different actions. I assume this could be done with a python script (since XBMC is mainly python) or using something like the network event reciever. Anyone have any ideas, or where I can find documentation on this?

Thanks!

I guess the easiest is to use the EventGhost command line option -event.

I would implement the TCP/IP network sender protocol in XBMC. It's pretty simple plus you get network connectivity at the same time.
