Re: EventGhostTrigger - (Send events to EventGhost)
Still learning the possibilities of event ghost But now I know what it can do!
I don't understand what this plugin does? Can someone tell me in plain English?
I only use event ghost to emulate keys with my gyration remote.
Quite simple, as post #1 says, the plugin will generate events in EventGhost based on activities in MediaPortal (Music/TV/Movie/Videos - Stop/Pause/Play etc.). Part of the greatness of EventGhost is the ability to receive "events" from different sources (be it keyboard presses, remote control hits, scheduled tasks, etc) and act upon them - activating macros (or actions) based on those events. So for example you can have a macro that loads your favorite website whenever you press some key on the remote control.
So what this plugin does is basically "generate" events in MediaPortal, create events based on different activities - Music/Video/Movies play/stop/pause etc, so in EventGhost you can link these events with certain macros. For example - turn on lights in your living room when a movie is paused, amplify volume to 100% whenever music is played, etc etc. The sky is the limit with EventGhost...
If you still feel like you need further explanation, perhaps you can simply install the plugin and see what it does to EventGhost by yourself... (the attached screenshot in post #1 is also quite clear, in my honest opinion...).
