EventGhost

I grabbed a used global cache wifi2ir about a year ago but I had issues with setting it up on WIndows 10. I had trouble connecting to its little internal web server, and I figured I would grab a ir to ethernet instead. It might be worth trying the wifi adapter for yourself though.

Why not create a scheduled task that starts EG when the computer starts up as mentioned earlier in this thread? If you want to use an external program anyway, then you can look at the Non sucky service manager, or NSSM as well.

This is a wild guess but I would make sure the Japanese language pack is installed on your PC. You might also need a Japanese don't pack.

I was looking at ways to restore desktop gadgets or install something like rainmeter on Windows 10. I wanted something that gives me a quick reference to whatever information I need but mostly stays out of the way. I would like to have something that is always there but doesn't grab my attention. Th...

Jonib, with some help from KG, I got the double press thing figured out. This might be everything I need to get my remote working the way I would like. For anyone who reads this I essentially had to break a few keys in Kodi's keymap.xml files, and map them via EG. I learned that Kodi will search ALL...

Kevin, it looks like that XML folder you gave me will work great. It also kind of gave me a new look at how to solve problems but I'm still trying to wrap my head around exactly how it works.

Alright, I'm not getting any errors now but I don't understand the e.TriggerEvent statement because I haven't worked with prefix or suffix. I'm not entirely sure how to fill these out so you might have to bear with me a little here. The macro I want to fire on single presses looks like this in the l...

Alright, here is my first shot at filling things in. I'm not sure if I filled out the prefix, and suffix just right but I'm trying to call a specific action from a plugin, and not a macro like the current jump if double event. If I need to create a macro to jump to then thats fine also but I want to...

I would like to tell eventghost to perform a given action if an event occurs twice within a given period of time. I can already do this via the jump if double event plugin however, I would like to perform a different action if my same event only occurs once within the same time period. I plan to use...

Jonib, I think I have botched this all up, and I once again need to rethink things. Using the back button on my remote is probably not the most wise choice I can make as I need to check to see if countless OSDs are present before I my script issues a back command. It never seems to work correctly re...

Jonib, I'm getting an error on line two from this script when I check to see if video or live TV is the topmost window. result = eg.plugins.XBMC2.JSONRPC(u'XBMC.GetInfoBooleans', u'[["VideoPlayer.IsFullScreen"]]', u'[["Window.IsTopMost(FullScreenVideo)"]]', True) if result["VideoPlayer.IsFullScreen"...

I'll help out, I just need to pointed in a direction, I.E. Learn to compile, and test changes, or learn GitHub. I think compiling locally might be a good start. I think you have an old post around here somewhere with instructions for that but I'm not sure if its current.

Thanks Jonib!! I'll use that format to send any commands that aren't in the plugin from here on out.

I got an error in the log when there are chapter markers I believe. I unblocked and added your actions.dat file to my appdata folder but I'm still not getting the manually added category shown in your screenshot. I'm not sure what the issue is, and the only thing I can think of that might be differe...

I'm not sure I understand either. I found the update actions button in the plugin settings and clicked it. I restarted eventghost but I didn't get any manually added actions category. Then I opened the init_py file, and added this code at I think line 240. Is there something else I need to add? ("Ch...
