I am attempting to setup the following actions with my Harmony Remote.. I am doing all of this using a Mac Mini that is running Remote Buddy, and EyeTV which is connected to a CableBox as the tuner.
I have programmed the basic functions below using just the Harmony software, but the parts below that say 'script' are the ones that are tricky because I can't figure out how to get the remote to execute an Apple Script with the action that is mentioned. Also, I'm assuming there is a better and easier way to do this by just strictly using the Remote Buddy software (programming a single button to execute the entire macro):
Press "Music" Key on Harmony Remote -
Television Turns off
Input on Receiver Switches to Input 1
EyeTV software activates on Mac Mini [Script]
EyeTV software opens new TV window to channel 864 (a Music Choice Channel) [Script]
Audio Output on Mac (via 'Airplay' on Porthole software) is switched to all speakers [Script]
That Porthole software above allows the Mac to airplay to multiple speakers, and is scriptable so I can execute the "all speakers" command script.
In addition the actions listed above, I want to be sure to program the 'exit' commands on the remote so that everything closes accordingly:
Pressing *Off* on Harmony Remote -
Closes EyeTV Window [Script]
Audio Output on Mac (via Airplay on Porthole) is switched back to single speaker [Script]
OR
Pressing a *new input* on Harmony Remote -
Closes EyeTV Window [Script]
Audio Output on Mac (via Airplay on Porthole) is switched back to single speaker [Script]
Any help or clarity with this idea would be most helpful since I hit a wall and cannot get it to work.
Thanks so much!
