How? USB-UIRT + XBMC + Harmony Remote

[Livin]

Setup...
USB-UIRT
Harmony 670, programmed as MCE Remote
XBMC

installed XBMC & USB-UIRT plig-ins

EG loads without errors... and "sees" IR fbeing received from Harmony remote... but nothing gets translated into XBMC commands?

I must be missing something simple, I hope?

[CollinR]

You will need to drag the event from the left pane (logging) to the macro you want it to trigger in the right pane (configuration).

As long as you see the IR go scrolling by when you hit buttons your setup is working and will eventually work for you well.


Unfortunately you will soon see EventGhost has a significant effect on your perception of the Harmony.

Thank you that worked, except...

It seems that I need to press each button twice before anything happens in XBMC? The USB-UIRT flashes which each button press so I know it is detecting it.

Why does this happen?

[Bartman]

MCE commands use toggle bits.
So there are basicly two different codes.
You can assign two events to each command or use a mapping scripts.
Copy this code to the clipboard and copy it directly behind the USB-UIRT plugin in the Autostart folder.

Code: Select all

What type of Action should I add it as?
I tried Python Script and got a syntax error on line 1.

[Bartman]

You can directly paste it in the tree.

[Livin]

It does not seem to work? Where are those codes from? Looks like my codes, from MCE Remote to USB-UIRT are different.

Also, why do you have every button map duplicated? (2 for each item)

thx for the help!

[Livin]

Bartman,
the script did not work on it's own... I mapped the buttons again but I still must press the button twice before it passes it through to XBMC?

Is that script working for you?

This 'double press' issue seems like a bug in EG?

[Livin]

I figured it out... the plug-in order is crucial. Must be =

USB-UIRT
Python Script
XBMC

thx for the script... i had to tweak it a bit for my remote but works well!
