Beginner, (Real Jukebox)

[eddwo]

I just started using girder this week. I have a creative infra kit and yours seems to be the only program that works with it at the moment appart from the Creative one of course. I got board of just using Playcentre, and some DVDs don't work with it properly either so I switched to realmagic DVD station. It's good that I'm now able to use the remote for dvds again.

I used the sample file to start with and then tried adding things. I wanted to control Real Jukebox, I added all the commands, learnt the IR codes, and programmed the commands using the capture facility and it worked fine. The trouble is everytime I reload real jukebox I seem to have to reprogram it again. The existing programs in the sample file like winamp and dvd station work all the time but it looses the ablility to control real jukebox. The parameters seem to change every time it is run. Is there any way to get round this?

Does the fact that I have it working with the infra remote meant that I can now use any remote control with the receiver. I have another remote for my Hi-Fi somewhere will I be able to use this instead of or as well as the creative one, It's bigger and has more buttons.

Well that can be a problem, there
are some program that Real Jukebox is
one of, that use variable WM_(SYS)COMMANDS
and there is nothing you can do with this
method of control. You have 3 alternatives:

* mouse emulation ( different ways to do it also)
* keyboard emulation ( again 3 possibilities)
* mouse capture

And about the infra remote receiver i don't
know if it works with other remotes just give
it a try. Girder supports it,.. don't know
about the hardware though.

I've run into the same problems trying to get Girder to work with RealJukebox. But I have a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro, with internet and media keys running along the top. RealJukebox does respond to the media keys, but only if it's not in skin mode. Still, it's better than nothing. Now, the question is, can Girder emulate whatever commands those keys issue? Or is it something that can be implemented?

Just trying to make some commands to use this program also. I am definately doing something wrong.

First: I make a new command.
I choose window-absolute move and set the target window and mouse position. I then apply this.

I then want to make a left mouse button click. So; I choose mouse- left button click in the same command.

This does not work. I have tried making a new event string but I can't use the menus, as they cannot be selected.

I am sure I am doing something wrong but possibly a problem with realjukebox or bug in Girder. Any help would be appreciated by this newbie!

Do you really re-define the same command to mouse click? Or do you add a new command and define it to be the mouse click? If you re-define the same command, it can only be one thing. Either the mouse move or the mouse click. You probably need a multi-command with two commands in it. The first for move and the second for click.

Hope this helps. :)
