config a button to auto-repeat while keep it pressed, how?

THX-UltraII · Post by **THX-UltraII** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 1:15 pm

When I press eg. the right button of my remote in XBMC AND KEEP IT PRESSED, he only slides ONE place to the right. Is it possible to config eventghost in some way so it behaves the same as pressing your keyboard right button AND HOLD IT (so that the right click repeats over and over untill I let go of the button?).

In actions:
EventGhost -> Autorepeat current macro

Hey, I got the same question but I can't find the German equivalent to "Autorepeat current macro". Can you tell me some details please? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have added the "auto-repeat" option to my macro, but it's not working.

I am using the USB-UIRT device for input. When a I press and hold the button down, I can see the red light on the USB-UIRT continue to flash, so I know it is getting the commands. When I first press a button it is logged and executed in EventGhost, but I just never get the repeated event. I have tried this with several remotes.

I've double-checked to make sure the Autorepeat action was assigned to these macros, and they are.

Any suggestions?

READ THIS before posting anything!
0.3.5c build 908 is a very old version, which has long supported not. Try the latest beta version!

Thanks Pako. I'll check that out.

FWIW, I downloaded EventGhost today through the link in the Wiki (to sourceforge) so I assumed I had the latest version.

Also, the link that the page gives to the different builds many versions. The version notes for the last one says "many new bug". Not for me.

Do you recommend a version that is stable and that perhaps my Auto-repeat bug will be fixed?

Thanks!

I am using version 0.3.7 and for me works better, than previous versions. But I am not using a USB-UIRT.
When you not to use the latest version, you can use, for example, version 0.3.6.1487.
Try Autorepeat configuration according to the attached image.
