Completely lost...

Post by Brian B »

First time trying to use this software and completely lost. I have a USBUIRT and XBMC plugin both installed. What I want to do seems incredibly simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. When I push a button on my remote I get a log in response on eventghost. Now, how do I associate this button push on my remote with an action that I want to have happen that is listed in the XBMC command list.

For instance, pushing the green execute button while the "info" action is highlighted (under Remote, Buttons, XBMC2, Context Folder) causes XBMC to bring up info in the XBMC program. But how do I get my remote button push to do this, i.e. associate it with this action?

Using .3.7 eventghost.

Thanks!
Brian

PS Tried to follow the docs and the wiki and can't seem to understand what I should do.

It's so simple that it's easier can not to be.

EDIT:
The procedure is described in the documentation and also in wiki:

Drag and drop.
Easy.

Now that you point me to it indeed it is. I got lost in the jargon: "event," "container," etc. Perhaps someone could add the verbage: "To initiate a function via remote, just push a button on the remote and drag the corresponding log entry into an existing macro on the right pane with the function that you want to start."

Thanks much!
