Need to toggle into mouse mode using a Streamzap remote

[BullishDad]

I am totally new to Girder, so please forgive me if this seems like basic stuff.

I have a Streamzap remote that I purchased mainly for use with J.River's Media Center. After installing the Streamzap plug-in and an available GML file provided with Media Center, I was able to replicate most of the functionality of the Streamzap with Girder.

One area I haven't been able to figure out, is how to toggle into mouse mode, so that I can use the arrow keys and OK on the remote to move around the screen.

The arrow keys are currently assigned the keyboard Up. Down, Left and Right functions. Once, in mouse mode, I'd like to use the same buttons for navigation. When done, I'd hit the toggle button to exit mouse mode.

Please direct me as to how this can be accomplished. Thanks.

There are several ways to do this... I would search for BitMonster's tools which include mouse functionality. You are going to have to use a button to toggle mouse mode by using the group enable/disable commands.

I do this automatically using folders, multi-groups and states, but there's no reason why you couldn't do this automatically. Try something like this:

Folder: "StreamZap control commands"
-->insert your StreamZap control commands here

Folder: "Mouse control commands"
-->insert your mouse control commands here

Multi-Group A: state settings 1/2
....Disable Group StreamZap
....Enable Group Mouse control
....Event: Toggle button

Multi-Group B: state settings 2/2
....Enable Group StreamZap
....Disable Group Mouse control
....Event: Toggle button

Here's what's going on. When you press the toggle button, either multi-group A or multi-group B is selected (this is what the state settings do -- the 1/2 and the 2/2 specify the number in each of the boxes when you are in the state settings dialog box). Important is to have the exact same event in both multi-groups -- and don't test the multi-groups until both have been set up! Multi-group A disables the StreamZap commands and enables the mouse control commands, whereas multi-group B does the reverse. You can use Bitmonster's mouse control commands in the mouse control folder, or create your own.
