[QUOTE="DaBIGOne, post: 979649, member: 118220"] Hi Achel, Yes, that's the wrong way to do that. In EventGhost there are macros, actions and events (triggers). The little gear icon is a macro, this holds the actions and events. You have created only an action to substract a payload from an event and create a new event, but you dit not add the event (trigger) to the macro. So your action should be: eg.TriggerEvent(eg.event.payload[0] = eg.event.suffix), this will trigger an event with the payload in it so you can identify it. (so remove the TCP.MediaPortal.Windows.Activate) Now you drag the event (TCP.MediaPortal.Window.Activate ['192.168.0.2', u'504', u'"mymusicgenres"']) into the macro (from the left screen to the right screen in Eventghost main screen) Now you see the event with an lightning bolt icon and it shows "TPC.MediaPortal.Window.Activate" the action you have created will extract the payoad wich are marked between [ and ] and will create a new event with that. You can then create a new macro with an action and combine that with he new event created to get an action ONLY when the mymusicgenres page is displayed. This is basic EventGhost, doesn't have much to do with EventGhostPlus, you can read more about EventGhost in the EventGhost website, this is a nice short document describing the basic workings of EventGhost: [url]http://www.eventghost.org/docs/short_manual/index.html[/url] Happy Ghosting !
