Event Ghost- fast scrolling/start up

[rflores2323]

First problem
I just installed EG and all the commands are working except when I try to hit the directional pad to go left or right it goes so fast that you cant stop it (on the main menu). so basically I cant pick a menu on the home screen.

second problem
HOw do I get xbmc to start up automatically? I see that you can put an autostart button and add an /exe file to it. I did that however when it starts it opens xbmc in a window and I want it full screen. Put maximize window and it still did nothing. any instructions on how to get this up and running in full screen with a touch of a button.

I searched however did not find an answer for the 2nd problem. I remember seeing a solution to the first problem however cannot find it now (if you know the link pls post it).

Thanks for the help.

number 2 =
make a short cut in the startup section with this command in it
"C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" -fs -p
You may or may not use the -p option. -fs = fullscreen

What remote are you using? try changing the delay settings in eventghost

Im using an Universal Remote- Model MX-810. I made a dummy dvd remote to use the IR commands and then I just added the log macros into the XBMC plugin.

Where do I change the delay setting in eventghost? I cant find it.

I think I found it.

I added an action > wait some time > wait 2 sec

Also what is the autorepeat current macro?? Maybe this is the action that is causing it to scroll fast. I changed the value time to 3.6 sec to see if that changes anything.

I cant test it since Im not at home but hopefully that works. If this is incorrect let me know.

Can I disable the autorepeat macro?? what is this for?

[Hitcher]

Auto repeat is for holding down a button to scroll. Just raise the value for when it starts.

try a different XBMC plugin - I use Joni's

also, I suggest posting in the EG forum when you have EG problems

I have this problem (don't use EG) and it seems to be related to where my mouse is on the screen. You could try either ;
1) Disabling mouse support in XBMC settings (if you don't use the mouse)
2) Use autohotkey or similar to move the mouse to the top right edge of the screen..

That solved it for me anyway.
