Tivo Slide Pro - EventGhost Plugin

About

This is a plugin for EventGhost which overrides the default behavior of the Tivo Slide Pro remote, and lets you override just about every button on the remote. You MUST have the USB drivers provided with EventGhost installed. If you are using Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64-bit, then you must disable digitally signed drivers BEFORE you can install the eventghost driver.

How to Install

It is recommended to create a system restore point before installing, in case something goes wrong with the drivers provided by EventGhost

  1. Download the zip and extract it to your computer
  2. Copy the folder TivoSlidePro into C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins for 64-bit windows or C:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins for 32-bit windows.
  3. If you have a 64-bit operating system, disbale driver signing enforcement. If not, continue to the next step.
  4. Open EventGhost and add the TivoSlidePro plugin to your configuration. It should ask you about downloading and installing a new driver on your system.
    • If it fails, make sure you did step #3 correctly, and beforehand!
  5. By default the plugin only sends events to EventGhost to handle. If you would like the Keyboard to work like normal, you must scroll down and copy the Keyboard Simulation XML into your configuration!
  6. You can modify the keyboard simulation xml any way you like if there are certain buttons you want to handle yourself.

EventGhost Events

  • Every button on the keyboard except Sym and Caps
  • Lowercase versus Uppercase versus Symbol of the keyboard buttons is all handled automatically and generates different events for each
  • Every button on the top of the remote
  • The numbers 0-9 on the slide out keyboard are labelled as Tivo.SlidePro.Keyboard.0 -> Tivo.SlidePro.Keyboard.9, the numbers 0-9 on the top of the remote are Tivo.SlidePro.Button.0 -> Tivo.SlidePro.Button.9
  • Actions for sliding the keyboard open and close

Limitations

  • You currently cannot use the slide out keyboard on the windows lock screen
  • Sym and Caps buttons cannot be handled/overriden. (Note: There is nothing that can be done about this, because the remote does not send a signal when you press these buttons, they merely affect what gets sent when you press a letter.)

Keyboard Simulation XML

Copy the following text and paste it at the root of your EventGhost configuration. A folder will be created that handles the keyboard keys and sends those keys back to Windows (Use the GUI, or copy relevant parts into your own xml)
