Amulet Remote / Remote Battery

« on: April 24, 2016, 12:51:13 PM »

I need to replace the VARTA EasyPack L battery for the Amulet Remote. Can anyone recommend where I can find one? I tried google but mostly found the XL. Would another brand work? Thanks for any help.

This appears to be how Emby works.  You are only using a single action to play an item so whatever you are seeing happen is due to the way Emby is handling it.  If you feel there is a problem with it going to the home screen before playing the new channel you should ask about it on the Emby forum.

Thanks.

Are you implying here that the MB3.PlayItem -> ChannelID action that you use in your Play Live TV command only successfully tunes to a TV channel if you issue the command while on the home screen, but that it doesn't allow you to tune in to a different channel when you're already watching a channel?

From the home screen the command plays the selected channel. While it will play the next channel selected, it returns to the home screen and then to the new channel. What i am trying to do is to get it to play the new channel without returning to the home screen. That is from channel to channel.

Hi lja,

That said, ideally we wouldn't want to close and re-launch, so maybe that's something we can help find another solution for if you can explain more about that.

@nime5ter: I have revised the Play Live TV as indicated in the first post. Can you help me with the issue of the close and relaunch? I would like to be able to change the channel without having to go back to the home screen. Thanks for any help.

Maybe I should indicate what I was trying to achieve. I am using OTA for live TV.

Goal: To play Live TV in Emby Theater

There would be four commands: Play Live TV, Show Live TV Guide from the Emby dashboard in full screen and Close Live TV Guide

The use ALT+F4 was to close Live TV Guide full screen before playing channel

Closing and reopening was not intended and is not necessary.

Based on your comments, maybe I should remove the posts above while I continue to further work on it including not using a combination of keyboard emulation and Emby commands.

VC:2.145
Windows 7

In EMBY dashboard under Live TV-Tuners, there are buttons to reset the Tuners.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19298307/tuners.JPG

Goal: To create a command to reset the Tuners and add it to the Live TV group

If this is possible, any guidance would be appreciated.

I found google to be my best friend when trying to understand how everything worked, you will want to download AutoHotkey they have some extra little programs with it that can make things easier, plus you will need it so you can run the script and test it you can find it here http://www.autohotkey.com/

most of the mouse coordinates can be found at the top of the script but there are some spread out through out the script,

I attached the script below hope you can get it working with your resolution

Thanks @PegLegTV. Will try with it.

If you want I can post my AutoHotKey script and you could modify the coordinates, I'm not sure if you know AutoHotKey but it's easy to learn, this is my first major project,

I modified the original script linked to in the first post, I added in a lot of functions that I use and added in VoxCommando and Eventghost event triggers so It would switch my remote setup and voice inputs, plus dim my lights when i start a movie.

Don't know AutoHotKey but willing to learn. Could you post your script and I will give it a try? Any suggestion for a guide?

So far all the commands I have checked are now working well.  However I have noticed that in playing music, the cover image of the song does not display. If for example the display is on movies and I say "play song..." the screen remains on movies. Is it possible to show the cover image of the song that is playing while it is playing? Thanks.

In the meantime, you've given other Kodi/Netflix folks quite a bit to work with within the limits of the addon, which is much appreciated.

+1. Thanks for your work. However I will continue to play with it.
