Default EventGhost Genius MediaCruiser and X10

ENGLISH
Hello cause i'm a new member (ex MCE user)
I wrote a short guid to use Genius media cruiser.

Ther are many information around here in the forum and outside in www, but most of theme are outdated or incomplete.

1. Install Message Plugin
Source: link
- put dll in folder plugins\process
- put xml in folder InputDeviceMappings\default

2. get last EventGhost software (at the moment a beta 0.3.6)
source: link
- install last full setup
- install last update

3. configure eventghost
- for use only with media cruiser use this xml: see next post
- for use with media cruiser and X10 (qsonic in my case) use XML: see next post

4. set youre own data in eventghost
- customize the path to mediaportal.exe with double click on "start program" in node "Restart and start"
- maybe you need to delete HID plugins and add them again if eventghost is not working, addall four hids for the keyboard

5. customize mediaportal
- disable all remotes
- enable message plugin

I hope this will help you

Mho

Hallo da ich neu bin hier im Forum möchte ich gleich mal etwas beitragen.

Im Forum und im Netz sind viele Informationn verstreut wie man ein
Genius MediaCruiser Keyboard ( LuxeMate 810 ) zur Steuerung von einem Mediaportal nutzen kann.
Leider sind viele dieser Hinweise veraltet oder unvollständig.

Hier eine möglichst komplette Anleitung:

1. Das MessagePlugin installieren
Quelle : link
- die dll in den Ordner Plugin\Process
- die XML in den Ordner InputDeviceMappings\default

2. Die aktuellste Eventghost Version installieren (momentan eine Beta 0.3.6 ) die das Mediaportal direkt unterstützt
Quelle: link
- Das letzte Vollsetup installieren
- Das letzte Update installieren

3. Eventghost einrichten
- wird nur der Media Cruiser genutzt dann diese XML: nachfolgenden post beachten
- wird der Mediacruiser und eine X10 Fernbedienung ( QSonic in meinem Fall) diese XML: nachfolgenden post beachten

4. Eventghost anpassen
- Auf jeden Fall müsst ihr für den Start Knopf den Pfad anpassen
Dazu Restart and Start in Eventghost aufklappen und mit Doppelclick auf "Starte Anwendung" den Pfad ändern.
- Möglicherweise müsst ihr auch die HID Plugins neu mitaufnehmen falls es nicht so funktioniert,
dazu meine löschen und alle vier gefundenn Genius HIDs als neues Plugin mitaufnehmen

5. Mediaportal anpassen
- Alle Fernbedienungen deaktivieren
- MessagePlugin aktivieren

Auf dieser Grundlage könnt Ihr hoffentlich eure eigenen Anpassungen machen


Tschö

There is a bug in the XML files please use this one

3. configure eventghost
- for use only with media cruiser use this xml: MediaPortal_MediaCruiser.zip
- for use with media cruiser and X10 (qsonic in my case) use XML: MediaPortal_full.zip

Hello
As update only my last post in German forum, now as good as I can in English:

I had several problems with deactivate HID components, too.
It worked but only until next restart.
After that Eventghost seams to forget the HID’s. Only the keyboard was still sending commands, the additional buttons didn’t.

The only workaround was to disconnect the Mediacruiser receiver physically.
After the reconnecting Eventghost recognized the additional HID’s.

To force the system to the same behavior automatically, I’m using the Microsoft program DEVCON.
This program can handle connect and disconnect functions on USB devices.

With the new configuration file Eventghost uses this program automatically after standby (hibernate) mode.

Take a look at your USB Id’s. In my system all relevant USB Ids starts with USB\VID_0BC7.
Eventghost disconnects and reconnects these devices.

You will found this at:
Power and Start - > USB reload -> Starte Anwendung DEVCON

X10 is disabled in this configuration file, cause I’m using the standard remote configuration for X10 parallel. With this continually pressed keys works much better.
But feel free to reactivate X10 in the new configuration file.
