Advanced Triggering - New enabling capability

[jmv]

I'm trying to get Steve jazzed to code some addtional triggering into Xlobby (and excuse me if I'm nuts and it's already there...I'll eat my humble pie)...that being said...this is what I'd like Xlobby to do (should be simple to code, and would add some really slick skinning possibilities if implemented)...

I specifically need a way to trigger an event related to completion of the import command. This will allow me to have a popup come up, display progress, and then close back to my main screen when done (it would also be nice if the system wouldn't allow me to do anything during the import event...). But thinking beyond this, if we had xlobby triggers related to completion of song or movie, start of song or movie, start and completion of playlist, start and completion of weather update, html etc.

Let me give you an example of how this could be used...when a song starts, a new page opens that details that song artist etc...when done, it closes and returns to the music select screen etc...

What do you guys think? wow great idea let's get Steven excited too...or mv you are crazy that is a niche capability no one would ever use!?!

I fully support this. I would also like to see some basic logic commands (if statements) and support for conditional loops in the event manager.

I know that everyone cant code, but you can already do this via a plugin...

Tools req are free (download c# via microsoft) and there are a few examples knocking about.

You can do most things witha a few lines of code...
