Some questions- need help (media player classic/ XBMC/ EG)

[rflores2323]

first off this is a great program- EG. Remote is a universal remote MX-810. I have installed xbmc with aeon and the xbmc repeat #2 plug in- Everything works great on the plugin and controlling xbmc however I would like to know how to do the below

#1 When I turn off the computer and turn back on for some reason the plugin xbmc repeat #2 is disabled. I have to manually go and uncheck disable for it to work again. How do I get this to plugin to be enabled automatically everytime so that I dont have to enable it.

#2 Does the media player classic plugin work the same with Media player classic - home cinema?

#3 I would like to use the media player classic plugin to control this program with my remote (hopefully the home cinema works aswell). How do I get EG to control MPC while within XBMC (as they have an external player function now). So that I can use the main control functions in MPC (play, forward, rewind, subtitle, stop, pause, etc...) and then when I go back I can use the internal player with the same functions (play, forward, rewind, subtitle, stop, pause, etc...)

Thanks

To detect that MPC has started and start to control it you need Task Create/Switch events or Process Watcher plugin and then use a macro that monitors when MPC starts enable MPC macros and disable the XBMC macros, and then a macro to detect when MPC closes to restore the settings.

Are you getting an error Plugin "XBMCRepeat" is not activated as I get that error and the plugin won't work until I do a Execute item, but if I move the plugin higher in the Autostart folder it works correctly.

I tried to add the plugin Task Create/Switch events but an error message came up saying. plugin doesnt support multiload and you already have one instance of this plugin in your configuration.

what do I need to do>?

Then you already have the plugin loaded, you only need it once.

If you don't get something like Task.Created.mplayerc in the log when you start MPC, and the Task Create/Switch events is not disabled, you probably have the Log only assigned and activated events checked, you need to uncheck it temporarily to get any unassigned events.

can you give me an example of how the structure should look for this to work.

OK, I'll try.
Here is my config to activate/deactivate JetAudio using Process watcher but Task Create/Switch events is almost the same.

egjetAudio.PNG (12.93 KiB) Viewed 8950 times

The Activate JetAudio control macro waits for a Process.Created.JetAudio event, and when the event happens the macro enables JetAudio that contain all JetAudio macros.
The Deactivate JetAudio control macro waits for a Process.Destroyed.JetAudio event, and when the event happens the macro Disables JetAudio and activates my Default controls.

Hopefully this gets you started

I don't freakin understand how that works
I want top control more than one application, someone explain me how to do that thanks in advance

Currently i control only one application via keystrokes , at least i managed to make that work but for 2 or more apps it's a mistery still.

I have created a folder "add action" (start application) and then a subfolder with all the actions "play, stop, forward etc... this work ok.

Process watcher

Where exactly do you find this ?

Have you looked at the Example.xml config that is included in EventGhost? as it has several examples to control different programs automatically.
