[QUOTE="valdi, post: 873833, member: 116882"] GJC, Take your time, I'm in no rush whatsoever. I'm just starting to transfer from IRSS to EventGhost as my Macro execution program of choice. I noticed that EG (EventGhost) has an Android application that I really want to integrate into my Win7 world to complement my AmpDroid and MediaPortal installation. I envision EG working along side non-RS-232 equipment somehow reading and writing the state of power/settings/surround of Amp and LCD to enable cycling thru different sound and picture settings based on what I'm doing inside MP. Anyways, I'm only up to reading about Python as a scripting language while at the same time as working fulltime/taking care of kids/short term and long term chores and trying out skins in MP to keep the family continually in a state of "Oh cool". Oh, and trying to keep my wife happy by always having MP up and running 24/7. In conclusion, my ADD is in full swing. Take your time. On a different subject, what would you suggest as a starting point to get started on reading and writing to an XML file when a macro is executed by remote button press within MP? If this is off topic just ignore me. An example would be: Power button on remote is pressed Macro is executed thru EG Amplifier power state is read as 'OFF' Amplifier power is turned on Amplifier state is written as 'ON' Etc...... Am I on the right track by learning python as a scripting language that will read and write to an XML file? [/QUOTE]
