I must be missing something ...

Hi Everybody!

Just discovered GForce a few days ago - what a treat!

While preparing for a party, I wanted to try a few customized scripts. Using the supplied CTRL X examples I changed them so they say Happy Birthday ! in the popup text.

The problem I'm having, it works for me ONLY for standalone GForce. Not in Media Center 10, not in WMP. In fact it doesn't understand anything above CTRL 5 and even editing the existing ones doesn't change the way they run.

The documentation is rather scarce. Is this the way it suppose to work?

Can anybody point to what I'm doing wrong?

Free version GForce
WinXP+SP2+JRiver Media Center 10

I suppose my commenting here is futile since I use an iMac; but maybe it's the way the media players you mentioned are set up? maybe the keys you cited are used as commands in these players?

Are you editing the examples in the G-Force folder in the J River Media Center directory? Note that a separate copy of G-Force is installed for every media player.

Hi - I know how you feel...I have a post on this forum somewhere about this, and I wrote a basic explanation on my own site here:

As it says, it's ongoing (I've got a bit re-write to go up this weekend). As for firing the CTRL-x scripts, yes, I think they're only supposed to work on the standalone. I *think* (have never tried) you can fire the music from another source into the PC/Mac and use that as the fuel for the standalone.

Hope this is of some help.

hi there.... try renaming you script to using a letter (ex, CTRL A). i think some players, etc suck up CTRL keystorkes when a number is used. Also, of course, make sure GF has the keyboard focus hen you do it...
