Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[jonib]

I have attached a remote.xml, it changes 3,6 and 9 buttons to control the volume when watching fullscreen video only.

Save it in (XBMC install dir)\portable_data\userdata\keymaps\remote.xml

That is kind of you.

Kindness had nothig to do with it, I was bored, well I needed something to do after finishing the chicken.

yep works great thx. so i have one more question is there a way for eventghost to look if xbmc is running and if not to start it when the display butten is held?

Sure. The below image shows how I start XBMC, if you need more help I'll describe it better later. The PVR Menu(so yours would be different) is the event that the button I want to start XBMC with sends.

If your remote/receiver supports long presses you can use EventGhost\Jump if long press action, to start when a button is held down.

Sure, the "Show XBMC" just brings the XBMC window to the front if minimized.

Did you look at the <FullscreenVideo> section? Normally select is set to <select>AspectRatio</select>.

I just checked the remote.xml file he provided and that is what it is set to do. And it works just fine for me. Change to the default confluence skin and check what happens.

no that wassent the problem it was the select wassent working out side of the fulscreenvideo worked fine during the video
global was messed up i fixed it tho with the the code block i put up

[kricker]

Not sure why that file would make select not work out side of fullscreen video. It works fine for me. Anyhow, it sounds like you are squared away so it doesn't really matter.

im wondering how to set up a macro to switch between xbmc like i hold 0 1.5sec and it jumps to a diff ip i hold 1.5sec again and it jumps back to the other

Can you explain this again? You want a macro to switch between screens within XBMC or between XBMC and another app? I'm not sure what an "ip" is.

[jonib]

i have it working perfect now

Good to hear. The remote.xml was from my XBMC Dharma install, so might be some differences to 9.11.

now im wondering how to set up a macro to switch between xbmc like i hold 0 1.5sec and it jumps to a diff ip i hold 1.5sec again and it jumps back to the other

So you want to control two different XBMCs?
Then you need two XBMCRepeat plugins in the autostart folder, configured to use the right IP numbers.
Then you need to make a macro to enable one XBMCRepeat macro tree and disable the second XBMCRepeat macro tree, and vice versa. Using Exclusive enable a folder/macro or Enable/Disable an item.

Hope this helps, if not reply again.
