Repeating Events?

[Ron]

Its difficult for Girder to detect if a button on the remote is down if the device that is detecting it isn't passing the event strings. What you can do is something with the alarmtimer plugin to make a timeout of somesort. Or put multiple volume changes into a multi group. There are somethings that you can try.

You can watch all the events flow through Girder with the logger plugin. This would let you see how the "repeat key" and "end repeat" stuff is handled by your remote.

Just an idea.

I'm looking for some quick info on how to send repeating events via Girder. I'm using the SlinkE plugin (AWESOME) and when connected via Control AII the steps for volume control on the SlinkE are fairly small. I'd like to keep continously sending the Vol Up and Vol Down events via the SlinkE Plugin as long as the volume up /down buttons on the remote are depressed.

Thanks!

I'll give those a try. I thought I might be overlooking something obvious. It seems that from the way Girder is flashing/pulsing it does have some sort of an idea that something is going on and I didn't know if it could simply keep sending the command from the SlinkE with a few ms pause as long as the key was pressed.

Thanks.
