EventGhost

I wanna try the plugin On Screen Menu but i get an error i don't know what's the matter

I found the original thread (last post 2008! ..old) but it's not of much help to me sadly.

I have copied the "OsdMenu" folder in the plugins folder, i don't understand why it's not working.Thanks for your help

I paste the errors messages for you :

1. Do you have any special reason why you are using an old version (1366)?
Maybe you should first read this: READ THIS before posting anything!
Among other things it says:

1. The exact EventGhost version number you are using. If it is not the latest version, get it here and see if your problem persists. And even if you have the latest version, post the exact version number.

2. I think it is better to use OSM plugin (which is part of the installer) instead OSDMenu.

Thank you for the idea of upgrading with the latest version which i just did, it don't seem to me the problem is solved though, see below:

10:21:32 Error while loading plugin-file OSDMenu.

Note:
* I haven't uninstalled the previous version, only installed the new i don't know if that's the right procedure
* I don't know what you mean with "OSM Plugin", please enlighten me

Right i have found "OS Menu" in the plugins list, sub section "Other", i will try that and report

Ok i don't understand how it work this plugin, kinda hard. Can you provide an xml config with 2 softwares (Power dvd, winamp) for example and of course the OS Menu plugin configured so i can understand how that works.

Thank you

I can not do it perfectly, because:
1. I do not know what you have remote control
2. Although I know it, very likely I have very different remote
3. I have no experience with plugins Power DVD and Winamp

I have another suggestion.
Send your configuration (xml file) and write out what events (remote buttons) you will use to:
1. Show menu
2. Move up in the menu
3. Move down in the menu
4. Confirmation in the menu (OK event)
5 Exit (cancel) menu
Then you still write the way, how you want to use OSM plugin.
Then I can edit your configuration to use OSM plugin.

My problem don't concern how to assign events to macros but rather how to have a given label from the OS menu to trigger the start up of a given software.I just don't get it


example:

OS menu ("Go" button on the tv remote):
Label1= dvbviewer ------> start dvbviewer.exe + disable power dvd,winamp macros
label2= power dvd ------> start power dvd.exe + disable dvbviewer, winamp macros
label3= winamp ------> start winamp.exe + disable dvbviewer, power dvd macros

.Xml example here:

Attached is the edited file.
But I'm not sure if I have correctly done start Winamp and DVBViewer.
How can I know where you have installed these programs and what are the names of executable files to be run?
By the way - why you do not use the DVBViewer plugin?

Many thanks Pako that's helping a lot
