Hi

Eventghost can do many many things.

The tool can be used for automation purposes.

So for example it is possible to react on many different system message (program closes/opens/starts/saves/...) , on remote inputs, on inputs with gamepads/keyboards and so on...

After reacting on such things you are able to do things for example open other programs, minimize/maximize/open/close windows, send / receive commands over the network, do system commands, write/read to/from files, show sth. on the screen and so on and on and on and on...

It has a really nice graphical user interface to build scripts and in the wiki you can find examples:
Short Manual — EventGhost v0.4.1 documentation

It has many plugins for many software and hardware solutions.

Here the link to its homepage:
EventGhost

Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...
