one remote for both music and movie

[rubbah]

hey

how can i set up xlobby so that play, pause, stop... works for music but when i start a film it works for zoomplayer instead?

is this possible, i use the usb-uirt plugin by steven.

I do it with Girder with my seriell uirt2.Are u using the usbuirt with Xlobby or Girder?
If u use Girder I can email u my GML file and u can just reprogram the remote keys.

you can use XRemote

According to the screen you are, the same button can call different xlobby events.

thanks.. think i'll try the xremote pluging first..

had a feeling that there was a way.. and it was.

I use Girder and enable/disable my Xlobby groups when Zoomplayer is
launched/exited.

However, if you don't want to use Girder or XRemote, and if you're using
the USB-UIRT Xlobby plugin, you can have Xlobby go to a Zoomplayer
control screen whenever you launch Zoomplayer. This control page
doesn't have to be pretty, you will never see it, it just has to have a bunch
of buttons set up with Zoomplayer events that have USB-UIRT triggers.

I think this will only work if you're using the USB-UIRT plugin, I don't think
any other IR (or RF) receivers are supported by an Xlobby plugin yet.

are u sure that it works, cause i have a zoomplayer control screen but i can't get i working the way you say..

ex:
i have an event group called zoomplayer and an event called pause, the pause button on my remote is set to trigger the zoomplayer>pause event.

i also have a music event group with a play event, that is also triggerd by the same pause event in the ir-plugin.

it seems that it always trigger music>pause and never zoomplayer>pause even when i am in the zoomplayer control screen

[erikt]

Do you have a button on your Zoomplayer page associated with your
zoomplayer>pause event? Both music>pause and zoomplayer>pause
have the same IR-plugin trigger?

[lar282]

Does this work even if zoomplayer is in fullscreen?

How can xlobby keep track of this?Thats why I use girder for this to check which application is on top and then enable/disable groups in girder.

As I first mentioned, I also use Girder, mainly because I was familiar with
it and could easily do what I wanted. However, my understanding is that
Xlobby, when responding to a trigger (e.g. a USB-UIRT plugin trigger),
will first check to see if there's a button on the current Xlobby page assigned
an event with this same trigger. If so, it will execute that event. If not,
it will look for any defined event with this trigger, and I'm guessing choose
the first one it finds.

So, it should not matter what state Zoomplayer (or any other app other
than XL) is in. It should only matter what buttons+events+triggers are on
the current Xlobby page.

Here's a thread from a few months ago. Check out Steven's response
before delving into the mentioned plugin (which is not necessary).
