EventGhost

Windows 8 driver now available for the RCAware PC-CEC. This update makes no changes to functionality and will do nothing for you unless you use Windows 8. Existing users that need it please contact me through the user/support group on the RCAware website.

Hi, Just received my hardware (very excited) and installed the RCAware HDMI-CEC plugin and was wanting some help with this problem. My set-up is: Windows 7 WMC Yamaha RX-V773 amp Samsung UA60ES8000M TV All connected into AMP via HDMI, but the audio goes from WMC to amp via optical. The amp outputs ...

1) My TV is a Samsung with a number of sources/inputs. I would have figured there would be a command that EG could send that would tell the TV to go to HDMI 2. I found the "Select Source" Action but that seems to only allow selecting the various CEC devices. I must be missing a fundamental thing he...

This is an alternate version which uses the native eventghost volume/mute events. This way you can change volume from any controls: remote, keyboard, windows volume slider with mouse, etc. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <EventGhost Version="1600"> <Folder Name="All CEC Amp Volume Control" E...

If the amp sync does not work well for your particular amp try this instead. It will keep the PC volume always at 100% and always un-muted and will change volume on the amp. Just copy this XML and paste to your rcaware folder in eventghost, and of course replace my HID events with whatever your remo...

Like your log says, it is from the 'TV', so either your TV is sending the event more than once when you press the power button or EG is duplicating the event. I have seen some reports recently about duplicated events since the release of 1600 so just in case try downgrading EG. If that does not work...

When you have the plugin's "Amp:" or volume sync set to "TV Remote" that means "off", so the plugin does not try to do anything for volume. If volume control is still an issue with that setting the issue should be somewhere else. Remember that even with the PC-CEC plugin set to "TV Remote" aka off, ...

PanteraGSTK can you please post your entire eventghost configuration XML? It seems like maybe I messed something up for Panasonic in the default macros and stuff, and you have an older version of the plugin that has the correct macros or something.

Thanks scissors. I would have helped but did not have a machine that could reproduce the problem. So glad someone actually made use of the source code I included!

I added a change to the system plugin which was released in 1568 that should generate a "deviceAttached" and "deviceDetatched" event when the TV is turned off/on. It also generates these same events when you plug/unplug the cable (I have only tested with HDMI). Can't you use that event to tell when ...

In general I believe if you have a look at the contents of EventGhost\eg\Classes\UndoHandler\ you should be able to figure out how to do what you are asking.

I just installed the network event receiver plugin, and used the eventghost command line option "-n" to successfully feed an event into EG without spawning a new process or any funny business.

eventghost -n localhost:1024 testpassword testevent

The jump action does appear to be broken as of 1568 release. When trying to configure an existing Jump EventGhost locks up completely and has to be restated. Also, it appears that the jumps are not executing when macros run. PS - I found this to be true both for pre-existing jumps prior to upgrading...

Here is a fix for the BadRequest errors. Hardly rocket science, just needed a str around the data being passed in one place. Also, after this I have no problems issuing the send commands via EG locally.
