Firefly Remote Issues.

Snapstream Firefly remote

Recently upgraded a relatives computer from an ancient K8 windows XP to a new i3 windows 7 pro. The old machine was using girder, but i didnt want to deal with that headache again so i decided to try something new, and here i am. :P

After more trouble than i care to admit, i finally found the X10 plugin and got EG to start seeing my remote. Quickly after that i got the remote set up for vlc with keyboard emulation(yes i know there is a vlc plugin and it looks interesting but that will come later)


The problem arises when i try to make mouse controls. In girder when i pressed a button i got lets say code A... when i held the button i got multiple code A.repeat (or something similar)
and i set up the 2 codes to move different lengths (repeat was 4x the distance as a single press)
Messy, but it worked.

In EG i get this...

Code: Select all

00:57:43   X10 Firefly.Up
00:57:43      <unnamed macro>
00:57:43         Start mouse movement in direction 90.00┬░
00:57:44   X10 Firefly.Up
00:57:44      <unnamed macro>
00:57:44         Start mouse movement in direction 90.00┬░
00:57:44   X10 Firefly.Up
00:57:44      <unnamed macro>
00:57:44         Start mouse movement in direction 90.00┬░
00:57:44   X10 Firefly.Up
00:57:44      <unnamed macro>
00:57:44         Start mouse movement in direction 90.00┬░
00:57:44   X10 Firefly.Up
00:57:44      <unnamed macro>
00:57:44         Start mouse movement in direction 90.00┬░
00:57:45   X10 Firefly.Up
00:57:45      <unnamed macro>
00:57:45         Start mouse movement in direction 90.00┬░
00:57:45   X10 Firefly.Up
00:57:45      <unnamed macro>
00:57:45         Start mouse movement in direction 90.00┬░
And the mouse ends up slowly accelerating up to speed and then stops and starts over again. Over and over... And i cant seem to find any solution on my own...
Using move relative is slightly more predictable, but slow, and with only one code i don't see how to make it move faster and still retain fine control when needed.

Any help would be appreciated.
