Speed-Link MCE remote

[vlad]

Hi,
This is my first post on this form.
I am trying to control VLC using Eventghost and a MCE remote control manufactured by Spped-Link
http://www.speed-link.com/?p=2&cat=144&pid=15937&paus=1
I am using eventghost 0.3.5 and VLC 0.8.6h
So far i couldn't control anything....when i open eventghost the VLC and MCE plugging run without errors but im not sure if the program recognizes my remote control
I enabled RC in VLC using port 1234 but still eventghost cant connect to vlc

Any help or advice welcomed
Sorry if I'm being noobish but is my first time using a remote control with my PC

hi, i searched the board but i only found this topic.

i am also using this sl mce remote control.

when i load the mce plugin to eventghost the following error occurs:

Code: Select all

Microsoft MCE Remote
   Traceback (most recent call last) (851):
     File "C:\Programme\EventGhost\eg\Classes\PluginInfo.py", line 312, in Start
     File "C:\Programme\EventGhost\plugins\MceRemote\__init__.py", line 279, in __start__
     File "C:\Programme\EventGhost\plugins\MceRemote\__init__.py", line 349, in CheckHidState
   AttributeError: type object '_Exception' has no attribute 'DeviceNotFound'

i got the latest version of EvenGhost.

Try changing the line 349 in EventGhost\plugins\MceRemote\__init__.py:

Code: Select all

from:            raise self.Exception.DeviceNotFound
to:            raise self.Exceptions.DeviceNotFound

Restart EG after the change.

-jinxdone

ok, now the plugin cannot find the device "Device not Found"

The MCE plugin won't do you any good. You will need the Generic HID plugin for some remote buttons and some of the Speedlink remote buttons map right to keyboard keypresses.
