Conditional Execution

[tgg00]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to Girder. I have a small remote that has a limited number of buttons. I want to use the Fast Forward button for two purposes: if the button is pressed once, it will tell the DVD player to skip to the next chapter, and if the button is pressed and held down for a couple seconds, then the DVD player will fast forward the scene. I'm sure some of you already done this.

I thought of using the Question function, but it lacks two things: the OSD timer is set to 5 seconds only, and when nothing is pressed during the 5 seconds, Girder will do nothing.

So is there any other command to use that has a "if ... then ... else" structure?

Thanks in advance,
TGG

Hi

This could be done via some timer that
expires after af 100 ms or so. But that
isn't programmed yet. But I've gotten
some requests about that earlier so I
might just make one.

Regards,
Ron

tgg00,

Check out the AlarmTimer plugin that will
do what you want, there is an example
girfile included.

Ron,

Thanks much for the super-fast implementation. I will try it out asap.
