That is a really old KB article. The resource kit is no longer required, use sc.exe which is included in WinXP (and above I would think).
Command structure below

Code:

sc create [i]service_name[/i] binpath= [i]"path to executable"[/i] start= auto

If the service name has a space in it, enclose in quotes. Also, it is very picky about having that space after the equals sign. The 'start= auto' will automatically start the service at reboot. To start the service immedaitely use

Code:

sc start [i]service_name[/i]

you can also use the sc command to setup auto restart on failure and the like.

Going to give the event client a shot when I get home tonight. Hope it works.

The EventClient makes the Xbox 360 wireless gamepad work automatically without having to manually edit anything at all! Thanks for the posts! However, is it possible to get EventClient to work with an external player (e.g., mpc-hc.exe)? If so, can you please explain?

Wow, finally after searching and trying i got my XBOX 360 Wireless Pad working with my xbmc.
The settings are pretty good.

but i've two things that annoy me:

i always have to start that .exe before i launch my xbmc. i generally started my XBMC with a button on my iMon Pad before. Now i have to do a step before.
Is it possible to integrate that Xbox360 EventClient into the xbmc? Is it avalible as plugin?
The left Stick is not in use. Why not use it to go through Menus.

Another Question:

If xbmc isn't running and i want to launch it with my pad (with the start button or something).
How could i do that? Eventghost, XPadder?

Ok....I know this is an old thread but just trying to get my controller working. All done I think but is there a file that will show me what buttons do what and is there a way to change them.

For instance cant find how to stop a music track once it is playing and how to go back to previous menu ie what the Esc key currently does when using keyboard?

i use an emulator in order to convince my computer that my ps2 controller is actually a 360 controller. i do this by placing (re replacing) an xinput1_3.dll file in the root folder of whichever game i want to play. works like a charm, but i'm unsure how to use this with xbmc. i've attempted to place the xinput1_3.dll file in the 360eventclient folder, as well as the xbmc folder itself, but so far nothing seems to be working. where does the eventclient draw it's commands from. is there some root windows folder i should be using?

the emulator can be found here

info about the emulator can be found here

Hey,

i know this post is older, but i want to respond on the implementation of the evtcl as a service: This does not work, Windows cannot start the service, it does not respond.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or is it possible to launch the evtcl with a tray-icon in windows (instead of a console-window)?
Hence the evtcl is in the svn, is it recommend to update it? Im not sure of the language (guessing C++) but that should be rather simple, I could give it a try...

Edit
Btw: I am throwing together a little .NET-App which lets you joint-execute binarys at one click (so you can start XBMC and any EventClient together, for example)... I am sure there is something out there already, but if anyone is interested, just let me know...
There will be also an option to put a program in the foreground - this will allow you to launch the evtcls without bringing them to the front (ie in front of the xbmc)

I got it to work... however, I had to learn that this is only possible through some dirty hacking, because the Windows API does not intend console applications to be minimized to the tray...

However, this is what I came up with so far:
Add this to the "int main":

Code:

//Minimize the window to tray so noone cares...

    //window handle

    hWnd=FindWindow("ConsoleWindowClass",NULL);

    //hide the window

    ShowWindow(hWnd,0);

    //tray info

    Tray.cbSize=sizeof(Tray);

    Tray.hIcon=LoadIcon(NULL,IDI_WINLOGO);

    Tray.hWnd=hWnd;

    strcpy(Tray.szTip,"Xbox360 EventClient for XBMC");

    Tray.uCallbackMessage=WM_LBUTTONDOWN;

    Tray.uFlags=NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP | NIF_MESSAGE;

    Tray.uID=1;

    //set the icon in tasbar tray

    Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &Tray);

These includes and definitions need to be added:

Code:

#include<shellapi.h>

#include<windows.h>

//(...)

NOTIFYICONDATA Tray;

HWND hWnd;

This will minimize the app instantly to the tray, but you cannot do anything with it (you have to kill it via task manager).
I created a patch-file if necessary, but I'm not sure where to put it?

HenryFord can you upload a fixed binary to http://www.multiupload.com/ please?
As a bonus you could update the wiki about 360 controller support in XBMC and add your link:
