The odd part is that now up/down in the on screen keyboard won't work. Up/down works everywhere else. Not sure now if it worked with the original plugin or not.
You need to add this to your advancedsetting.xml file (learn how to ccreate one on the XBMC wiki, if you don't already have one)
setup... XBMC, W7MC for DVR & Live OTA TV, JRMC for multi-zone audio, EG, MiCasaVerde Vera3, USB-UIRT IR receiver, Harmony remote, 5.2 home theater system
I finally got the new version of EG running properly. I just tried the updated version of this plugin.
You have a typo in the actions folder "Media plying" should be "Media Playing".
The command for updating the video library has also been extended. Now you can specify a folder for the library to update. See here and here. It would be great to have this Even Action with a blank to fill in the folder parameter, and if left blank it does a regular Video library update.

Thanks, I'll fix it.

I'll look into it, thanks.

Yes I had to change the internal names for Remote and Gamepad buttons as they ware conflicting with some actions.

how do I fix without relearning everything?

I think the easiest way is to copy the "Remote" folder from EventGhost with your XBMC settings, and then to paste it in a texteditor, now do a find/replace "XBMC2." to "XBMC2.Remote", so any actions changes from "XBMC2.Power()" to "XBMC2.RemotePower()", and then paste that back to EvenGhost, that should work for most of the buttons.
Edit: You might need to remove the old "Remote" folder before pasting the edited one.
I added the text "Remote" to all remote buttons and "Gamepad" to the gamepad buttons, to make then unique.
I Hope this is usable.

the Remote section is not the only problem - changing to XBMC2.Remote only fixed a few things. You must have made other changes since almost every button throws an error upon loading the plugin.
please review my log errors and see my attached MyConfig.XML
IMO there needs to be an easy migration path if you make code changes.
... this just shows one bigr reason BM needs to split the XML into multiples. testing sux!
thanks for helping!

I had to change the internal names and unfortunately I am not aware how to make an easy migration path from that, sorry. Hopefully I won't need to change them again.

OK, I have attached a modified config, I removed the Gamepad buttons as you ware not using them, then I added the "Remote" prefix to the remote buttons and removed a space from "My TV","My Music","My Pictures" and "My Video".
Next time I need to change the internal names I'll try to think how to easiest convert the old config.

OK, I have made a small tool to convert settings from the previous version FixXBMCSettings.exe, in case anyone still needs it.
Just copy the folder that includes "Remote" and run this tool and then paste the result back to EventGhost.
But make a backup of your settings before in case there is a problem.

I think I've found something that doesn't work. CodecInfo. I mapped using the same keys as the original version and I can eventghost trigger it, bit I get nothing on screen. I'm using the same key as Title, but this combo worked ok before since Title is only good when browsing shares/files and CodecInfo is only good when playing videos.
