Can iuse EG to open files on one of my Slave HDD's??

Post by byngo »

Can i use event ghost to opens files on one of my hard drives.
Ie:- I want to naviagte to the root of K:\
and then open folders there which have video files in them? They are iso files which get virtually mounted when clicked on.

I can of course do this with my mouse and when the iso is mounted, power DVD 8 opens and plays the movie. From here on I can control Power DVD with my hauppage remote via EventGhost, but i want to be able to navigate to the chosen file using my remote. (don't think i can do it by opening powerdvd first and navigating to the file because PDVD8 won't play an iso unless it gets mounted first)

P.S Im on windows XP SP3

Hi.

If you just want to open the "K:\" in explorer you should add the action "Start application" and configure like so:
Win K.JPG
You can alsow use the ful path to the movies insted of just K:

To navigate the movie you need to have Eventghost emulate the basic keystrokes up down left right backspace and enter.

Plese let me know if this was what you wanted?
