Make led glow when recording
Re: Make led glow when recording
Sure, why not.
First need to create a macro/script that is able to determine if dvbviewer is recording or not.
Next you need to create a script/plugin for controlling the serial port's TX pin state. Either use an external program and control that program from EG via windows messages (like the one in the forum post you mentioned), or if you have some python experience or want to start learning you could create an EG plugin for that purpose.. for example by using PySerial
Neither of these exist in EG at the moment, but it's doable if you are willing put some hours into it.
After these these pieces are done it's just a matter of connecting the two with some macros and actions in EventGhost.
