Command line issues

[chefbennyj]

Hello,

Recently I have created a small media browser 3 client, console utility which reads events from the Server and then runs an eventghost commmand line, for a member on mediabrowser3.com

Works great!... well kind of....

I seem to be having issues with my commmand line parameters.

Here is an image of the EventGhost set up:





I could post the entire VB.Net code here, but that would be pointless... I think.

the issue is I can't get the event to trigger from my commandline:


The code in the commandline I have so far is:

Code: Select all

"{root to EventGhost Folder}\EventGhost.exe"  -e SmartLinc: Screne  Lights.On 

Perhaps I am missing quotes somewhere. I am not sure.

by the way I have the little app running as administator, which I found was causing issues at first.

Thank you a head of time. I have spent a long time on this already, it was supposed to take an hour, it has taken a couple days.

See http://www.eventghost.org/docs/_sources/commandline.txt for command line syntax. For events, it is:
.. cmdoption:: -event <eventname> [<payload> ...]

If you issue:

Code: Select all

eventghost.exe cmdoption:: -event "SmartLinc: Scene Lights.On"

(note the quotation marks since you're using spaces in your event)
you'll get this event:
Main.SmartLinc: Scene Lights.On

That's what you will drag from the log pane over to your macro that you wish to trigger. In your example, you're not using a payload.

Edit: cmdoption:: is optional
