It's almost one year; one more year to go.

But now I have time to get back to things like Eventghost, so I will rework my config so I can integrate it with everything better (till now it worked, but was not so elegantly made and not easily maintainable). I basically use EventGhost to add functionality to interface a my home automation and several devices (amplifer via serial port, kodi, squeezebox, tv, ir remote): the home automation system has some limitations on what it can interface with and using EventGhost I can bypass them.

Expect a thread in the near future on controlling a device using node.js (I want to control an LG WebOS TV from EventGhost.

I suspect it will be similar to XBMC2 so I'll start from there. But I need to learn a bit more about it before I can ask decent questions.

One thing... it sometimes complains if Eventghost is not running as administrator...

Code: Select all

   Plugin: xAP
      xAP: UDP has Started: Server Mode: xAP Hub Mode Running: Port: 3639, Client Mode: On
      xAP: HeartBeat has Started
      Error starting plugin: xAP
      Traceback (most recent call last) (0.5.0-rc4):

          self.instance.__start__(*self.args)
        File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\xAP\__init__.py", line 458, in __start__
          self.SaveList('xAP.EventList.txt', self.eventList)
        File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\xAP\__init__.py", line 555, in SaveList
          if config: Backup(configSave)
        File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\xAP\__init__.py", line 544, in Backup
          copyfile('.'.join(name), '.'.join(fList[fList.index(name)-1]))
        File "shutil.pyc", line 83, in copyfile
      IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EventGhost\\plugins\\xAP\\xAP.ConfigSettings.Backup3.txt'

Is there a way around this?

Yeah run event ghost as administrator LOL

For the time being if you change the owner of

Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\xAP\

Directory to your current usernam we for windows and make sure you add your username as having all permissions for that folder. You should be good to go. I am guessing you are running Windows 10.

Later today or tomorrow I will set it up to write the information to either the EG config file or to the config directory

OK so here is the skinny. this is on e of the very first plugins I wrote. 2 and a half years ago.. so I am sitting here staring at the code thinking... what in the hell was I thinking...

But from what I am reading it saves the file into the documents folder not into the plugins folder. so I am curious.. did you download the one from the first post? or the one from HERE?

But at any rate I am considering a rewrite of this thing because it needs to be redone to a system I have developed for myself.

I don't know where I got the file I was using, but with the one you linked the problem is gone.

I really thought I was using the last version... Sorry...
