Anyone by chance knows if it is possible in the XBMC plugin in EventGhost to add a button to immediately start a trailer (that is stored in a movie folder*)and not have to go into the 'ínfo' and select trailer?
* I use separate folders for each movie with a movie and trailer file. This way the trailer button becomes visible in the 'info' of a movie.
Folder sample:
C:\Documents and Settings\Movies\Transformers
folder contains:
Transformers.mkv
Transformers-trailer.mkv

and one more question:
When I m going to use several plugins like to one for winamp, XBMC, Media Player Classic and some regular windows functions; how does eventghost sets it s priorities? eg. when I have both winamp and Media Player Classic running and I have programed eg. the arrow buttons of my Logitech Harmony ONE, which one has the priority then? Or do I have to add more devices to my Logitech and call one Winamp, one Media Player Classic etc.?
thxz.

Load task create/switch events plugin, create a macro for each program you use and have those macros enable exclusive when one of the programs activates (task.activated.winamp for example).

First organize all existing macros into folders (place MPC macros in one folder and XBMC macros in another).
Then create 2 new macros, "enable MPC" and "enable XBMC", and add "enable exclusive" action to both macros and have those grant exclusive to a folder of macros.
So when task.activated.xbmc happens -> enable xbmc macro runs -> it actives only commands under xbmc folder.
Take a look at the wiki pictures, it's all explained there, although it's a bit hard to follow

Ok, did some things and hope it will work (I can t test until tonight, I m @the office right now):
1.
Creating separate folders for XBMC and Media Player Classic was not necessary anymore because EventGhost already did this aut. for me.
2.
Next, I created a New Macro that I placed in the main Configuration Tree (so so under a specific folder eg. the XBMC folder), correct?
3.
I called this Macro 'Enable XBMC'
4.
After this I right-clicked on this Macro I made and I choose 'Add Action...'.
5.
After this I selected the EventGhost action 'Exclusive enable a folder/macro' and I then selected my XBMC folder. Clicked on 'Apply' and 'Ok'.
6.
After this I can see the Macro called 'Enable XBMC'. When I expand this macro I see the Action 'Enable exclusive: XBMC'
7.
Am I correct that the last thing I need to do is drag&drop the log called 'Task.Activated.XBMC' to this macro I made so this is added as Event?
I hope I m on the right track. thxz for helping m8
