EventGhost 0.4.x and USB PC Remote Controller?

[molitar]

Can someone please look into this plugin and fine out why it does not work with the new Eventghost? It will not work with EventGhost 0.4.x at all.

Ok nevermind I got the PC Remote Plugin to work.. for those that need to know how too.

Open up Device Manager. Go to details tab and pull down the pull down to you see get hardware ID and than pull down and select Device Class GUID . Just right click and copy the IDs you need.

My hardware ID = USB\VID_073A&PID_2230
My Device Class GUID = {745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da}

Now go edit the C:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins\PC Remote Controller\__init__.py using notepad.

The lines that need to be edited for your device is:

guid = "{401F1F43-58D9-4F99-936A-A9114CE73D7E}",
hardwareId = "USB\\VID_06B4&PID_1C70",

and another line further down that reads.

"PC Remote Controller", "USB\\VID_06B4&PID_1C70",

Edit the lines to your ID for example mine now look like:

guid = "{745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da}",
hardwareId = "USB\\VID_073A&PID_2230",

"PC Remote Controller", "USB\\VID_073A&PID_2230",

Now the Deal Extreme, PC Remote Controller, USB PC Remote, and the many other names and hardware ID versions it has been sold under will work with you with the plugin provided with 0.4.x EventGhost.

I've tried your instructions but, after restarting EventGhost, it is trying to install some driver (EventGhost PC Remote Controller) but it fails...
Have you encountered something similar?
Thanks!

Only in that I had to tell it to install the driver anyway was all and it worked fine. Running Windows 7 x64 now but use to run x32 and it works in both.

Brilliant thanks very much for this. I'm using Windows 10 and struggled to get it working. I had to do an advanced reboot and disable driver signature verification and it worked installing the driver. There are lots of loads of guides on how to do this if you Google, the bcedit way didn't work for me BTW.
