SoundGraph iMON API Plugin

[brand10]

All iMON devices works with the original iMON IR Controller or with a MCE compatible remote only.

Hi brand10, I would like to congratulate you on this fantastic plugin. Got my Antec Fusion up and running in no time using this tool. The only thing that slightly tripped me up is that the iMon software interprets some commands as keyboard shortcuts i.e. backspace and a few others. I should have read your original post a little more thoroughly as you have mentioned it there. This plugin should be included with the standard set of plugins bundled with Eventghost. iMon has a large install base in the HTPC market, it took me a little while to track down the plugin through the forums. Keep up the good work and look forward to when you get all events coming through the one plugin.

Great Plugin! Many thanks!

I have one question: When I keep the arrow keys of the pad controller from my IMON Pad remote pressed it sends out the signal as long as the keys are pressed. When using your plugin as a substitution of my former "workaround" with the simkey plugin the event seems to be triggered only once. Will it be possible some day to have the multiple events as well? Would be nice as browsing through the channels of DVBViewer would then be a single press of the button and not a repeating one.

Hmm, hope I described it in a clear way.

kind regards

P.S.: Of course I think as well it should be included in the set of standard plugins. Really great plugin!

This Plugin fires enduring events only, except the volume knob actions where it makes no sense... So its up to you to repeat the desired action. This has to be done in the eventghost configuration with the "automatic repeat" command.

Thanks for the hint! I will try it as soon as wife and kids are in bed

Hello,

I've got the following problem when trying to use the iMON API plugin.

My system setup is:
1) Windows 7 (64bit)
2) Antec Veris EZ IR receiver (Hardware Ids: HID\VID_15C2&PID_0042) which works with the iMON Manager
3) Logitech Harmony 300 configured as MCE Remote
4) iMON Manager ver 8.12.1202
5) EventGhost ver 0.4.1.r1572

I configured the iMON Manager as it was described, i.e. enabled "Use Remote Control Plug-in Mode". It is up and running. Now I start EventGhost with the SoundGraph iMON API plugin and get the error message "iMON_API: Can't get control of remote" in the log.
I search both programs for options but couldn't find any which seem to be connected to the problem.

Does anyone of you have an idea how to solve this problem or where to look?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Please check if there is another program, which is using the remote. Media Center, etc. for example...

Thanks for the fast reply.
However, your hint didn't solve my problem or at least not alone.
What solved my problem was that I now run the iMON Manager as administrator.
Now I receive the right events in EventGhost.

Thanks again.

Hmm. Strange because this should be the default after installing the Manager.
However... as long as it works...
