Firefly and LCDSmartie

[CricketFace]

Hi, just wondering if anyone knew how to setup a Firefly remote so that it can run a command to LCDsmartie to change to the next screen. I edited my global.xml file, so that a button is now assigned for lcdsmartie, but instead of passing a variable like I would like, it simply opens a new instance of lcdsmartie. Any ideas?

The edited part of the global.xml file is below:
<Actions Button="C" Description="Change LCD Screen">
<LaunchAction ActivationState="Down" Program="C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\Desktop\lcd_smartie-5.3.2_final\lcdsmartie.exe" Arguments="C" />
</Actions>

Thanks in advance.

The action you have selected of course triggers the exe once again.
You can't change the screen to another this way.
You have to use a different approach... eg using the hotkey plugin by "Smack".

The idea is to have an instance of LCD Smartie running to your system and assing a specific key combination to the remote control menu. For more details how to change csreens with this plugin refer to info text inside the plugin package.

Awesome thanks for the great help! With this plugin and the right keyboard combination, I was able to control LCDsmartie directly from my Firefly remote.

In case anyone was wondering how it was done, here's how...
1. First setup LCDSmartie to change using that hotkey plugin (I chose to use Control + F10)
2. Edit Firefly profile global.xml
<Actions Button="A" Description="Change LCD Screen">
<SpecialKeyAction ActivationState="Down" Type="Down" Key="ControlKey" />
<SpecialKeyAction ActivationState="Down" Type="Down" Key="F10" />
</Actions>

Hope this helps someone else in the future!
