How to assign function to a double click?

farbox · Post by **farbox** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 10:03 am

I was trying to assign two functions to the same button on my remote, for winamp.
So a single click is puase/play, but a long click is PLAY (ie replay).
However it seems my (non standard) remote is sending rapid pulses instead of steady ones, so cant use the JUMP IF HELD function. So next option would be to double click the button to get this effect. My question is, how can I tell EG to seperate single and rapid double clicks?

this is done by many remotes. Which remote plugin are you using? Normaly the setup of the remote plugin should have a "button release timeout". Could it be that this value is to less?

The built in (latest EG version) MCE receiver plugin.
On further trying i think i got it to work with long press, I had placed the long press macro somewhere that would cause it to recurse on itself.
However, how would we do a double button press as per original question? The more I think about it, the more usefull it seems it could be.

Further info:
I think on my remote the play/pause button sends more rapid pulses than other buttons. I can get the long press function to work with every button except the play/pause one, just my luck!

I think solution can be th Multitap plugin. Using this plugin different events can be fired if the same button is pressed more than one time in a specified time interval.

It can also be done in straight python script. I use that approach. If you want, I can see if I can pull the code and post it here in some useful form.
