i've had a good go. help me please!!


2
sure i understand the smart playlists feature, but what i don't get is how to pick out a specific season based upon the number that i speak...

3
also, i love revision3 shows. is there a way to enable vox to jump xbmc directly into a specific video plugin and then a show within that plugin?

for example tekzilla is the show i watch the most - "load me new tekzilla" which would activate the rev3 plugin then jump to tekzilla. it's also saved as a favorite if it's possible to hard code a jump to specific favourite that might work....?

4
back again after an absence of 6 months and the app seems to have come on nicely in that time! more over, the ability to use my iPhone as a live mic with mobiola is EPIC!

Anyway, my question is how might I setup XBMC to jump to a specific season of a show? For example everybody knows season 4 is the best of family guy, sometimes i just want a random episode from that season.

"Jump to Season 4 of Family Guy" or something like that...

your post got me thinking.  I did a quick test and noticed that if you have the idle-timeout feature enabled and you switch to green mode (on), then switch to red (off), the timeout will take you from Off to Standby, which I would consider a bug.  It should stay in the Off position.  Is this what is causing problems for you?

thats it exactly! i like the idle timer but want a way to disable it via an event lets say.

just because!

my idletimer is set to unsoftmute. so sometimes it will take the volume from full to 35 meaning i have to then change the volume back up again manually. so to prevent this sometimes i just switch him (jarvis) off altogether.

just wondered if it's possible. but it's not, so will have to cope.

next question!

is there a way to kill idletimeout once it's timer has been set?

for example quickly toggling on, then off works but then once the timer is up it goes back to standby.

GOT IT! I had to use the payload bit. Silly me. Anyway, for anyone in future searching this post this is what I did!

Could I suggest that the wiki page showed a screenshot sample too? Might avoid this confusion for idiots like me.

I've tried the following variants

VC.TriggerEvent(startducking)
VC.TriggerEvent startducking
VC.TriggerEvent [startducking]

i've already got hipporemote talking to event ghost already. see this post from their blog

Code: [Select]
ONE MORE THING

There is one other pretty significant new feature in HippoRemote Pro 3.1. You can now assign buttons and macros to access URLs. This is quite useful for a couple things.

First, I think this will be really helpful to EventGhost users. Instead of assigning keyboard shortcuts to your EventGhost actions, you can instead map them to URLs using the web server plugin. No more worrying about keyboard conflicts with other apps.

Second, you can use this feature to control other non-PC devices on your network. For example, if you have a networked AV receiver that powers your speakers, you can create macros to control the master volume. Super super useful.

Creating one of these macros is pretty straightforward, just put the URL you want to access between some brackets like so:

[http://{IP address of device}/some_url]

If you want to target the computer that HippoRemote is connected to:

[http://localhost/some_url]

And if you want to send an HTTP POST command, just add a space after the URL and then your POST body:

[http://{IP address of device}/post_url POST_BODY]

This feature is still experimental and like all things involving networking, there are many potential gotchas. If you run into any issues or have questions, please don’t hesitate to send me an email.


what i'm actually asking is how do i get eventghost to call a custom vc command. i want 'startducking' to run when i tell it too from eventghost using (i think) the vc.triggerevent

not quite understanding the vc.triggerevent syntax fully.

i want to call the startducking action / command when i switch the mic on (from my iphone if you must know via hipporemote). the idea is that it will switch the mic on and auto softmute xbmc too. this works fine when i speak JARVIS but if the volume is high this isn't an option.

i've got the communication working fine for vc.on / standby etc. just want to be able to call custom events i think. what am i missing?

Trying to get xbmc to toggle fullscreen, sounds so simple and sorry my first post is such a simple problem!

I've tried using btn.kb then \ which is backslash which should work right?


is there an execbuiltin function or http api call i'm missing? the \ just isn't working.


awesome program btw, well worth the $$. and i went out and bought a kinect specially today (despite the recommendations against) and am start in my room shouting JARVIS at my tele, which now softmutes and listens for my command. LOVE IT! Thank you SO much. Just the fullscreen thing is bugging me now. I will be doing a demo vid later probably too.
