I have an Imon remote and I've configured it for work with Girder and
it seemed works well at first... but after windows reboot the impossible happens :rolleyes:

It don't work anymore :eek: seeing in the log the arrow up and down are in
"Mouse Mode" (In the Imon Manager is set to start always in keyboard mode but I think now is disabled in reality...) and the key is really Mouse Up!!!

Only the arrows doesn't work!!! Other button works well...

If I change the mode with the apposite button on the remote it write "Mouse Mode ON" (it would be OFF instead!) and continues to not work...

I've discovered that using the "RESETTING SCRIPTING ENGINE" (F11) it restarts to work but after a reboot it is broken again :mad:

It is possible to initialize the remote in keyboard mode at girder startup?

I think the solution is to create a macro/event/whatever is that do the sequent thing at girder startup:

1) Emulate the key press of the "Mouse/Keyboard Toggle" on The Imon Pad
2) Reset Scripting Engine

The Second command wouldn't be necessary but if I press only the
"Mouse/Keyboard Toggle" Meedio continues to not respond
(but in the logger I see that now the UP in recognized right as
"UP ARROW").

You want help me to solve this problem?

I'm becoming crazy for this shitty HTPC I have... nothing works :mad:
Thanks for the help,

Do you have Girder set to startup with Windows?

Try disabling that for the moment then starting Girder manually to see if the remote works that way on a reboot.

I've tried to start girder manully after reboot but the remote continue to not work... it's in mouse mode at boot and arrows not works as arrow buttons but as mouse buttons...

There is a way to simulate the actions that I have to do to put the remote on
keyboard mode?

1) Emulate the key press of the "Mouse/Keyboard Toggle" on The Imon Pad
2) Reset Scripting Engine

Thanks for the help.

Hopefully, someone with the iMon will be able to respond to this - I'm afraid I have no experience with this device.

This is a 3rd party plugin. IMon developed it and has not released the source code. So there is nothing we can do :(

Mmm this is a pity in this is almost unusable :mad:

There isn't a way to emulate the key pressions to solve the problem?

Hmm, after a scriptreset try running this scripting action:



gir.TriggerEvent('MOUSE MODE TOGGLE',4000)


attach an event with the eventstring "ScriptEnable" and Device "Girder Events"

It doesn't work but I thin it is near :cool:

This a log extract of that happens if I press the "Mouse Keyboard" on the remote:



Time Date Source Details Payloads
20:22:49:875 3/5/2007 TaskSwitch girder.exe
20:22:49:843 3/5/2007 My iMON MOUSE MODE TOGGLE <Down>
20:22:49:843 3/5/2007 iMON [iMON PAD]Mouse/Keyboard <Down>


The first [iMON tag] is the corresponding action of the key pression
the second [My iMON] is the Girder callback (automatic launched)... in
this way appears an OSD info (cycling Mouse Mode ON / Mouse Mode OFF)...

If try the suggested script (i tried in the "Interactive Lua Scripting Console", first) it writes the same string on log but without the <Down> string...
NOTHING HAPPENS!!!

I hoped that it was because the remote is mapped on 4005 (in 4000 i have an unknown device, I don't know that is it! Girder neither :rolleyes: )

And the string became:

gir.TriggerEvent('MOUSE MODE TOGGLE', 4005)

But nothing happens... I have tried to add the <Down> string to resemble what I see in the logger:

gir.TriggerEvent('MOUSE MODE TOGGLE <Down>', 4005)


I've seen in the "Event Mapping Editor" that at pression of the dammed key:
I have the "Output Event" MOUSE MODE TOGGLE and for the device 234
I have the EventString [iMON PAD]Mouse/Keyboard and I've tried to write:



gir.TriggerEvent('[iMON PAD]Mouse/Keyboard <Down>', 234)


But subsequent "Output Event" is not called... and no OSD appears...
I've tried to call one after the other... and nothings happens too...

Thanks to help,
