I don't see why not

How?

That depends on what file type, but you will probably need to use my XBMCRepeat plugin that supports HTTP API and JSON RPC API. The webbinterface part I can't help with.

Hi Guys,
I tried both Eventghost/XBMC Plugins and MCERemote addon to remotely control XBMC.

With Eventghost and XBMC plugins command like up, down, left, right are not automatically repeated when making a long press on the button. I have to do multiple push to go fast. With the MCERemote all is right. Is it possible to have the same feature with Eventghost ?

Again with Eventghost and XBMC plugins I loose the command context. Which means that with MCERemote when you are watching or listening to music you can do big or short skip using up,down, left and right keys. And when you go back to main menu, the same keys or use back to move under the menu even if the music still playing, no more big or short skip.
With Evenghost, you loose command context. In the XBMC plugins there are short and big skip commands. But if you attach up, down... MCE events to this action, whatever the menu, you always do short, big skip when moving under the menu. How can I do with Eventghost ?

Thank you

You need to add a Autorepeat current macro action.

The default XBMC plugin unfortunately only supports direct actions like you have discovered. Fortunately I have made an alternative XBMC plugin XBMCRepeat that supports context based actons.

Thank you Jonib.

So cool I try it right now.

You use the Add action... function to add the Autorepeat current macro action to the Macro you want to auto repeat. If you don't know the basics of EventGhost read this Short manual.

Yes, I already know the basics. Just asking if it was a new plugins too.
Thank you.

So you found the Autorepeat current macro action?

Unfortunately too many people asking for help don't bother to try to learn the basics first.

Yes I did. But it doesn't work during my test with the up key

Does your remote send 2 different signals for the up key? One for press and one for press and hold?

This is a standard MCE Remote. I suppose not, if I'm wrong I should see two different events in EG ? Right ?

Right. One event when you press it and one if you press and hold it.

I have finished setting your XBMC plugins. It's rocks ! Thanks a lot.
And with yours, now I have automatic repeat key with long press

I still have a small issue with OSD video and music.
I want to display with the same remote button the OSD video or music in full screen mode.
Here is my setting:




image uploader

When playing music, pushing the guide button gives me the right OSD music window.
But when playing video, pushing the guide button gives me both OSD music and OSD video. I have to exit twice to remove OSD windows.

It seems to be a contextual issue with OSD music.

I have made a reply to you in the XBMCRepeat thread.

Please give me a example. The webb interface stuff you can skip.
