I just installed Windows 7 (32b) on my media PC. It found my Firefly remote as a X10 USB Wireless Transceiver (ACPI-compliant) after Windows Update ran.
I read that this doesn't work too well. from some other posts, I decided to install the Firefly Drivers only from Snapstream's site.
Got those installed and the remote shows up now in Device Mgr as SnapStream Firefly under USB controllers.
I added into EG the X10 plugin with no issues (before the firefly drivers it wasn't happy). As well as the XBMC plugin with no issues.
The remote appears to work somewhat. I can use the arrow keys to navigate and OK button to start a video. But for example the pause button doesn't work.
The XBMC plugin for Pause says: XBMC.Pause
But when I press pause it shows up as X10.Pause. So I added that event to Pause and it works now.
So I'm curious if there is an easy way to change the XBMC.<event> to X10.<event> or do I have to just go 1 by 1 and make the changes?
Thanks for the info.
Software:
Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit)
EventGhost (latest)
XBMC 9-11 (latest)
Firefly drivers from Snapstream site.

Question on Firefly remote in Windows 7 and XBMC
Re: Question on Firefly remote in Windows 7 and XBMC
The X10.<event> is an event that the remote creates and XBMC.<action> is an action that is sent to XBMC, so you need to connect an remote event to a program action to make things work, Usually 1 by 1.trmentry wrote:So I'm curious if there is an easy way to change the XBMC.<event> to X10.<event> or do I have to just go 1 by 1 and make the changes?

So I just add the event to the section in the XBMC plugin?jonib wrote:The X10.<event> is an event that the remote creates and XBMC.<action> is an action that is sent to XBMC, so you need to connect an remote event to a program action to make things work, Usually 1 by 1.trmentry wrote:So I'm curious if there is an easy way to change the XBMC.<event> to X10.<event> or do I have to just go 1 by 1 and make the changes?

For example:
For Pause in XBMC it says
XBMC.Pause
I would add X10.Pause to that same section. So it would look like
Pause
X10.Pause
XBMC.Pause
Or am I not thinking this through correctly?
