EventGhost

Hi,

I'm new to eventghost. Is it possible to dump raw IR codes (pronto, hex, whatever) with this plugin, and how would I do that?

Thanks.

Pronto codes, yes:

My eventghost does not have that "Learn Counter" field, might be version dependant. Unfortunately, the whole learning doesn't work.

The IR receiver *is* working, as indicated by the unknown IR events on the left side of the screen. But when I press the "Learn IR code" button, nothing happens. A window opens telling me to point the remote at the receiver with 3 inches distance and press the button on the remote, but once I press any button, nothing happens. Eventghost seems to not receive the IR code.

OK, first of all please use the latest version of the plugin, you can find it at the first post.

I downloaded MceRemote_Vista.zip from the first post and ran "AlternateMceIrInstaller_x64.msi"
After a restart, I had a "C:\Program Files\Satori-project\AlternateMceIrService\AlternateMceIrService.exe" with a modification date of 2009-09-07. This seems to be an old version (why would the current msi install an old exe?)
I then started services.msc, stopped the service and replaced "C:\Program Files\Satori-project\AlternateMceIrService\AlternateMceIrService.exe" wih the "AlternateMceIrService_x64.exe" from the archive. I started the service afterwards. The modification date now is 2011-12-03.

Unfortunately, this didn't change anything. Still no "Learn Count" button in Eventghost and still the same behavior. I see unknown IR events in EG when pressing random buttons on the remote, but the learn function still doesn't seem to receive anything.

please extract the content in the .zip file into C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\Microsoft MCE Remote Vista\ (not sure if the path is 100% correct, I can't check at the moment - but something about that, I guess you will find it) and restart eventghost.
-That's the way how to install a plugin, did you do that?

Thanks, that did it My bad, I just replaced the service with the one from the zip, but not the plugin itself. I can get the pronto codes from my remote control now.

What did you change in this new plugin?

Did you happen to add the event for irPipeNotAvailable that I added in the past?

No, I think.
There is just a notice: eg.PrintNotice("MCE_Vista: MceIr pipe is not available, app doesn't seem to be running")
Can you dig out your post where you added that?

420: eg.TriggerEvent('Pipe Not Available', prefix="MCE_Vista")

214: eg.PrintNotice("IR Service not running")
215: eg.TriggerEvent('IR Service Not Running', prefix="MCE_Vista")

In ___init___.py.

Thanks for adding it..

Original discussion.

Thanks,

to be honest, I don't think that these events are needed any more since EvilMF improved the plugin that it automatically (re)starts the service if it is not running.

If you like I can add the events as well - but I would change them a bit.

What about the "Pipe Not Available"?

That's what I meant, If the pipe is not available, and the service is stopped it starts the service...

Anyway, I did it in the mean time.
'Pipe Not Available'->'Disconnected'
Connected->'Connected'
'IR Service Not Running'->'IR_Service_Not_Running'
IR Receiver is unplugged->'IR_Receiver_Unplugged'

Version 1.1.1, you can find it at the first post

What other changes are there in this build that were not in the original build?
