[QUOTE="DaBIGOne, post: 1025252, member: 118220"] The EventGhost plugin you are linking to is to control a Yamaha receiver over network, pretty sweet. You need an EventGhost server (could be your HTPC, but at least EventGhost needs to run locally on a machine that's wired to the network) You need to configure your receiver so that it has an IP address. You install the plugin in EventGhost (nothing more than stopping Eventghost en copy the files in the plugins directory, and then restart eventghost again). You need to set the IP address in the plugin, for this plugin you need to edit RXV867.py, not the most user-friendly way, but I guess it will work. (Be very carefull that you don't use TAB anywhere in the .py document or else you'll get indentation errors) Then you can send commands with this plugin to your receiver, and as I saw it quickly in the source, you could also get status info from your receiver. You can use my EventGhostPlus MediaPortal plugin to link an event (for instance pause video) to an action on your receiver (for instance mute) (wouldn't know why you would want to do that but it's an option). if you want to press a certain button on your remote and link that to an action on your receiver you need a device to read the IR (IR receiver) and it has to be compatible with EventGhost, so it will generate events every time you press a button on your remote. These events you can link to an control-action for your receiver. If you use your HTPC as a server this way, you cannot control your receiver when the HTPC is switched off, this may be a problem. I personally have solved this by placing a server (24 hours on) on another room, extend the USB to my audio-cabinet and connect a IR Transceiver there. with this setup I can control any device with IR remote or send IR Signals to my devices from the server (and send events from my tablet/mobile phone to my server, wich then controls devices/computers/lights/sunscreens (whatever).
