HdmiYo

Post by Luca Brasi »

Hey guys,

I would like to trigger this little program HdmiYo to reinitialize my hdmi-connection between my htpc and my receiver.
I can define a keystroke combination like Control+SPACE in HdmiYo to do so.
Now my question is: How do I set up Eventghost to send this keystroke to HdmiYo?

Thanks for you help!

depends on how the app works... some apps must be in focus to accept commands. Check with the app developer.
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

I don`t think it needs focus. Is there any easy way then?

Have you tried the "Window\Emulate Keystrokes" action/macro?

The problem is that HdmiYo doesn't have a window.
It would be sufficient to send control+space to the system. Isen't there any way to do this?

That is the method EG send keyboard commands... if HdmiYo is always listening for key commands it will work. Just try it, will take 3 minutes to build/test.

Hey jonib and livin!

Thanks!!! Works like a charm! Thought I would need Find Window for that, of course I didn't....

Thanks again
