[QUOTE="Mercurial, post: 170023, member: 24931"] Hi Edna, I'm a bit f a novice on this, but I have used similar actions on my amp to those you are trying to do. First learn the IR commands: Go to IR commands tab select 'New' and using the remote for your amp, get your blaster to learn each command you want to use one by one. Macro: If a sequence of IR blasts are required, create them under the Macro tab. Next set up Event mapping: The two events I have got working for my own use are; Playback_started - I use this to set my amp to virtual surround sound for watching TV (broadcast with only 2 channels) and listening to music. Recorder_Stop_radio -I use this to set amp to dolby digital for watching DVD's. Add the event; highlight it; select the command (your IR blast commands/macros should appear in the dropdown, if you have saved them) and hit set; try it out. I worked out that these events occur everytime I switch to TV or DVD or music by looking in the log file ( found here be default C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log). Someone with a bit more knowhow will hopefully explain better, but basically if an event occurs everytime you carry out an action you want to automate test it in 'Event Mapper' and see if it works. Haven't sussed out the parameter entry bit, don't think I have been using the right syntax. Hope this is of some help and I hope someone can provide some additional information.
