Holding a remote button with USB-UIRT
Holding a remote button with USB-UIRT
Is it possible to get Eventghost to, for example, keep lowering the volume on my TV as I hold down the button on my remote? I've set it up just fine so when I press the volume down it turns down the TV volume (receives and sends via USB-UIRT), but holding the button down doesn't work, it simply is caught as one button press. Any help much appreciated!

Do you get a "ButtonReleased" event if you release the button?
If so, you can simply add an "EventGhost/Autorepeat current macro" action to your volume macro and it will do what you want.
[EDIT]
I just have overlooked, that you use the same device for receiving and transmitting. In this situation you cannot get a persistent receiving, because the device will interrupt receiving when it is sending.
But normally in this situation you should get a new button-down-event again if the USB-UIRT has finished sending and it should trigger the macro again. The only exception would be, if your sending is so short, that EventGhost's antirepeat-mechanism doesn't get interrupted. In this case you might get a reliable "ButtonReleased" event and the first case I explained might work.
