There ya' go. I expect there to be several of them.
Edit: It hasn't happened yet, but please do not post links to Front Row in this forum. This space is for sharing scripts for Salling Clicker only.
Best.

Couldn't get the above script to work with my 'version' of FrontRow, so here's a script I cobbled together. Joystick to navigate/select, 'C' to go back, '0' to toggle Front Row on and off, side buttons to adjust system volume.
Sorry for the crudeness of the script, I'm new to Applescript.
If someone can help me get key repeating to work I'd be much obliged; I'd like to be able to hold the joystick in a direction to scroll through the lists or scan through music, as it is this script sends one keystroke then stops.

siMac,
Check out Marooks script; it doesn't do what you're asking for, but it's a trivial matter to handle key repeat events too, and send the up/down keystrokes multiple times.

Thanks for this cautionary note about playing around with software found in the wild. YMMV, Caveat Emptor, etc. applies. Whenever making changes in the System folder, make sure to backup first.

Hi there,
I created the complete Apple Scripts to control Front Row.
The only thing that you have to do by yourself is to drop the scripts on the appropriate key you wanna use for "FrontRow active" etc.
If there is a oppurtunity to automate this (and I'm sure there is one) feel free to do this ;-)
The "leave" script only works if you have this script related with e.g. F8
| Quote: |
tell application "System Events"
tell application "FrontRow" to activate
key code 53 using command down
end tell
|
This is necessary because Salling Clicker starts FrontRow with this script, but cannot leave it with them. This script acts directly in SE in exact the same way like the "esc" script. It will jump one step back but do not end FrontRow. When you choose the K750i Remote Control Way the script related with e.g. F8 opens and closes FrontRow.
There is one problem I will search for in the forum as well:
How can I turn off the light from the phone? I would leave SC in the FrontRow Mode, but without the display light. Thanks for any ideas.
Please don't ask me why this behaves like it behaves ;-)

zacky: the backlight is left on for 10 minutes. This is probably for the better, as the K750 (et al) lock their keys really fast otherwise, requiring two clicks to make something happen.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to prevent keylock without lighting up the display.
Best.

I suspect this has something to do with Marooks script. I tried that one now and got the same problem, but this didn't happen when I used siMacs script.

Please allow me to doubt that. The scripts are sending the same keycodes, from what I can tell. And iNemo had the problem without running any scripts, right?
Cheers.

Ah. Then it must have been a coincidence.
I have another issue though. As far as I can figure out, none of the scripts supports holding a key down. I'm using a T68i and when I hold down a key, I get just one step.

This can be easily fixed in the scripts, and I'll leave that to the contributors. ;-)

I can't get your script to work. When I launch it, it invokes Front Row but I still get the message "Not active. Press any key to activate Front Row.". However Front Row is active, so when I press any key it deactivates it.
This could be because I have an 'acquired' version, there are a few bugs (minimize behaviour, no dvd player etc).

What's the name of the Front Row app, as stated when launched? The script checks for Front Row availability by process name, and I'm thinking perhaps you're on a non-English system (or perhaps the name is mangled).
Best.
