Help problem with autorepeat

Post by molitar »

I have a jump forward large event with an autorepeat. I set the autorepeat so it does not autorepeat until after so much time has passed most of the time it works fine but than sometimes it gets stuck in a loop and will not stop until I can get EventGhost to reset by hopefully being able to open it and click on execute item on autostart to get it to restart. When this happens it is showing RED as if the remote (which happens to be a Logitech USB Harmony remote) which does not have long key press option so I know it can not be sending signals still when the button is released. This only happens with the autorepeat feature inserted.. copy of the code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1462">
<Macro Name="Jump Forward Large" Expanded="True">
<Event Name="DXusbPCR.>>" />
<Action>
MediaPlayerClassic.JumpForwardLarge()
</Action>
<Action>
EventGhost.AutoRepeat(0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 60.0)
</Action>
<Action>
MediaPlayerClassic.Play()
</Action>
</Macro>
</EventGhost>

What can I do to stop this from happening it's a real pain when it happens and sometimes I can not get EventGhost to open at all and I have to endtask EventGhost and restart it. Or is this a bug I am going to have to continue to live with?

I have had an Harmony 525.

Sometimes, it continuously send the last key I pressed as if I was keeping it pressed.
Pressing another key on the remote solves the issue.
