Hi,
is there a way to see the MePo-Screensaver (blank the screen) as an event?
I would like to turn my LCD in standby using the MePo-screensaver... ;-)

I would like to increase the font size in the message window. Is it the DialogNotify.xml file for my skin I should tweak?

I haven't tried W7CallerID but have EventGhost and MediaPortal setup to resume play and turn off the lights when the call is over as explained in the Home Automation guide. Unfortunately the EventGhost for Android seems to be discontinued so I'm looking for something to replace it.

Try TerRemote, I'm using that one for my domotica controller (basically an Android tablet on the wall), it has nice skinning options.
Unfortunately it's not free, but it will continue working with only a nag-screen at startup and a nag-popup every once in a while.[DOUBLEPOST=1358096089][/DOUBLEPOST]

This is a great plugin. I'll be replacing eventTrigger and Message plugins with this on all my MP clients and use W7CallerID to show incoming calls, pause video and light up lights while phone call is ongoing. Would it be possible to send an event also on closing the message window, manually and on timeout? That way EG could resume play and dim the lights again automatically when the call is over.

I don't have any experience with W7CallerID, but it sounds (and looks) nice.

I will definately create a "notification window closed"-event in the next release, good idea.[DOUBLEPOST=1358096830][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'm not sure, but I think you are on the right track, it's a notification dialog I use what is provided by MediaPortal Core.
I haven't tried fiddling with the skin files, I'm just using existent routines so it will work on every installation.[DOUBLEPOST=1358097008][/DOUBLEPOST]

I've thought about that before, but there doesn't seem to be a message from the screensaver where I can get the trigger from.
I hoped it would be a window just like every other change, but it isn't.
I will have a look into creating an event when screensaver goes on/off that would be very useful indeed, no promises though, I'll see if I can make it work.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody !

That looks like a great solution, but wouldn't work for me, since we have iPhones, non JB:d at that. W7CallerID uses Bluetooth to connect the phone, not WiFi, so it works on both iOS and Android, but of course only within Bluetooth range. Other issue is that it doesn't detect the call ending (yet, I have asked the dev to implement it), so my workaround will be to try and detect the message window closing. Maybe the Task plugin in EG will suffice. Also, W7CallerID is not open source, but the price is reasonable $20. And it can be used also for the fixed line with a CID capable modem.

I'm adding call end event to both VB Script and MP plugin. New parameter placeholder is added - "[EventType]" with the following values "Call" and "CallEnd"
script.vbs "[name]" "[number]" "[line]" "[time]" "[image]" "[EventType]"
Development is done and the change will be added to the next release

hi,
i think there is a small bug in EventghostPlus. If i pressed on my remote the key"0" in
the recordedTV menue the delete dialog doesn't pop up. In all other menus the key"0" is ok. Can you fix it?

Quick noob question here. I am having difficulty understanding the syntax with payloads when you want to send a msg from EG to EG+ . I have managed to send a simple msg and it works fine.

I wish to have a msg like this:
msg header: Incoming call
1st line: name
2nd line: phone number

The following is the event that EG for android sends by default. (note it doesn't have the caller name for now so ignore the 1st line. Getting the phone number on line 2 would be nice). This is the event:
TCP.IncomingCall ['192.168.0.205', u'1239876543'] (the last part here is the phone number with area code)

How would I set it in EG's Mediaportal message sender so that it would at least display the phone number on the second line?

I don't have examples to compare myself upon, the best I could find is the description posted on here and I have a some difficulties trying to understand it: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/eventghostplus.113463/page-4#post-928814

Thx in advance for the help!

Message (2nd line): {eg.event.payload[1]}

Thanks it works. I was initially using the "test" button and it was giving me an error but it works when the action is received live (I thought it would use the last known payload).

Ok, so the number 1 means the second part of the payload (considering the fact that a 0 would give the first part), not quite sure what the "u" before the second part means tho. Anyways, that's enough for me to continue on my own, thanks again.

So far I had to ask a few noob questions and really got good answers, awesome community here!!

The "u" just means that the following string is of the type unicode. You will most likely not have any unicode characters in any phone numbers so I don't think you need to worry much about it unless you need to convert it to ASCII or something

Unfortunately not, but that would be a nice improvement, since testing stuff with payloads results in EG errors.

@DaBIGOne would anything like this be possible? use the last known payload when testing payload options?
