XML-File never loaded on startup

Post by Sagehorn »

Hi,

I guess there isnt much further to tell . Everytime I start eventghost, i have to load my xml-file again. Thats pretty annoying.
I dont think it has to to with win64/admin problems etc. I tried everything in this direction.
Btw: I'm using a MCE Remote Control.

Any idea..?

Yes, I have seen similar problems (with Vista 32 bit). It seems that there is something in the access rights that sometimes prevents EG from updating its config.py file. I do not know how to fix it but a workaround is to manually edit the file.

You will normally find it here:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\EventGhost
The first line could look something like this:

Code: Select all

autoloadFilePath = u'C:\\Program Files\\EventGhost\\example.xml'


Change it to:

Code: Select all

autoloadFilePath = u'C:\\Program Files\\EventGhost\\your.xml'

I'm running the same OS, and I do have an Eventghost folder under roaming. I'm running as administrator.

Okay, maybe my problem is a bit different now..
In fact, the xml file loads, but the mce remote just works when i load it again manually.

Hm, some month later i still have the same problem. the xml file is still changed in the py-file. any idea? i also tried to start as administrator..
Edit: The x10-plugin is always red after starting eventghost. any idea?

edit2: k maybe editing the file "EventGhost\plugins\X10\__init__.py" helps. I changed the line

self.workerThread.Start( 20 )

into

self.workerThread.Start( 20.0 )

at the moment it works :)
