IValue and ActionType are fields in the Action plugin structure. Are you trying to write a plugin?

We all had to learn :wink: .

The easiest way to start is to import one of the available groups for your application and adapt them to your local settings (e.g. drive/path, etc.) Then learn the button from your remote to the specific function and test it. Personally I believe you can do a lot with Girder with very simple 'programming'.

Often it helps just to look at the available groups to learn (for instance power on/off via states)

Hi,

I'm not yet using either the media player nor WinDVD, but I recall there was some discussion in this forum about it. You better do a search and read the discussion :wink: .

Secondly the 2 easiest way's to use Girder are;

1) via hot-key's (Most important functions are supported by this)
2) use of the wm_command function. Select wm_command and capture the event via the capture option in Girder. This is a very powerful tool.

im learning a lot fast but there are somethings i just dont understand like how to set ivalues and actiontypes. ive tryied copying a couple of groups but im doing something wrong when i save it or something.

[curlyheaded]

whats a plug in?
does every button in my Windows media Player have a code or something that i dont know about?
Or in my winDVD

ive tried to use the exported groups but i have now clue where to start. ive used an example and ive got my volume and mute to work, but i have no clue where to go from here. you guys are great help and i appritiate it.

my next question is "how do i copy groups and how do i use them"

i think that when i learn to read these copy them into place that will help.

thanks
