Eventghost will not control XBMC - jmoe816 - 2011-10-25
Hi,
Could not find suitable answer from search.
System:
Win7 x64
XBMC 10.1
Aeon Flux skin
Eventghost w/ XBMC2 plugin
I am trying to setup Hulu/XBMC integration and cannot get XBMC to close with Eventghost.
I launch hulu with XBMC launcher. hulu launches, creates an event, which triggers a macro in EG. I have tried to do the following to close XBMC...XBMC2:Quit, Find Window:xbmc > XBMC2: Close, Find window:XBMC > Close, Find Window:XBMC > Alt+F4. none of these work.
If I hit Alt+F4 on the keyboard, XBMC closes right away. Its like XBMC is refusing commands from EG. I have verified all http server settings are enabled and allowed in XBMC. I have also verified the correct port is set in the XBMC2 plugin (127.0.0.1:8080).
Alternatively, my other EG commands work. I.E. When I close Hulu, XBMC will relaunch in fullscreen as configured.
Any ideas on this? It's driving me crazy!

Why don't you just have ALT+F4 macroed?

I have Alt+F4 setup in a macro so when Hulu launches, EG finds the xbmc window and then emulates Alt+F4. (I also tried Alt+F4 without finding the window first). This did not work.

I've just tested it on my XBMC.exe and it works:
Find window: XBMC.exe
Close
Very strange that it won't work for you.
I can try helping you with TeamViewer if you'd like.
