How to use events that contain spaces.

[DarkCinema]

I receive events like: PioneerEthernet.Received.Power.State '0'
How can I use this as an event to trigger an action? Dragging and dropping only drops "PioneerEthernet.Received.Power.State" without the '0' How should I use the full event with the '0' ?

Ok read that this has to do with the payload.
What would bet the syntax for this : eg.TriggerEvent(eg.event.payload ??, prefix = eg.event.suffix)

You have to create a macro where you typically would place also a python script. A very simple one is this:

Code: Select all

pl = eg.event.payload
print pl

This script, when triggered, will capture the payload in the variable pl and then simply print it. Obviously you would do some more with the captured data but it gives you an idea.

To trigger the macro and the script, you can just drag & drop your event "PioneerEthernet.Received.Power.State" to the same macro. Next time the event happens, the macro will be triggered, the script executed and the value of the variable printed in the log.

Thanks Walter,

I found out that whan using the following script, it will create an event with the first 10 characters:
"eg.TriggerEvent(eg.event.payload[0:10], prefix = eg.event.suffix)"

So I am using this to detect the current AUDIO type on my receiver:
With the above script his event: "PioneerEthernet.Received.AST.Signal 'PCM'"will crate a new event: "Received.AST.Signal.PCM" that I can use to trigger my lights.

Do you know how to program a new event when the outcome of "PioneerEthernet.Received.AST.Signal 'PCM'" is anythinbg else than PCM ?

Use the other Pioneer plug-in that sem;colon already pointed you to in another thread and see the end of the thread for info on the payload.
