Can Girder control Xlobby?

Hi

I have been wondering this for a while. Can Girder control Xlobby? I would love to have homeseer control girder which in turn would control Xlobby

I haven't tried it, but this should work:
Under Girder, Command tab:Command pull-down. Choose whatever
wparam and lparam you want. Under XL, create an event, and assign
a SendMessage trigger to it, with the same wparam and lparam.

you can also use

That automatically adapts your skin and create a .gml for controlling it from girder

Badubu,

I was attempting to use your plugin to control xlobby through girder, but xlobby was unable to receive any of the commands. I was able to import all of the skin events, and select match them up with seperate girder commands. I just send a keyboard event to the foreground task, then the commands work. But when I select the xlobby plugin I don't see anything happen in xlobby. Any ideas on things I can look into, I'm fairly familiar with girder.

Thanks!

-did you correctly adapt the skin in the .ini?
-do you see the triggers in xlobby for each events?

I'm planning on using girder to control the pictures menu of xlobby. I got it working by attaching sendmessage triggers to events in xlobby. And then setting up commands in girder that use the sendmessage plugin. It works great.

I now have girder installed and can program the Girder2Xlobby.gml file to receive commands from my remote. I am using a receiver that I made from a schematic in Silicone Chip Magazine. The plug in for Girder is called 'Generic Serial based IR Receiver'. The remote is a PlayStation2 remote.

However, XLobby is not responding to any of my remote commands. Am I missing something? Does XLobby require a plug in of its own?

I have controlled PowerDVD in the past without requiring a specific plug in for it...

I’m confused... ???

Oh, and thanks to the France Development team for making the Girder plug in and GML available!!!

1 : did you learn the remote buttons to the commands?
2 : if you use the "test command" on a girder command, does xlobby respond?
3 : did you enabled girder2xlobby in girder? (setings/plugins, the plugin must be loaded in memory.
If you don't see it, you are missing some dll's, be sure that you copied xerces-c_2_5_0 in system32

I'm having the same problem. I can import all my Xlobby skin events into Girder. I can verify that my Girder event is triggered and generates a command, but my Xlobby event does not trigger.

Has anyone besides the French developers got this plugin to work?

Thanks,
Steve

I have been using that version of the plugin.

Perhaps my Xlobby event is not setup correctly. How does the Girder2Xlobby plugin trigger events in Xlobby? Does it use "sendmessage"? If so, should I have a send message trigger assigned to each Xlobby event? How do I know what wparam and lparam to assign? I'm new to this software stuff, so any input is appreciated.

I got the plugin to work now! I fixed it by enabling the "SendMesage" plugin in Girder. It was explained in this thread...

Thanks!

I was mistaken, the Sendmessage plugin is not required. I disabled Sendmessage and the Girder2Xlobby plug-in is still working.
