Cast, Push2Run and SetVol

Bug reports • Request for a Force cast command despite missing devices

2020-07-24T01:27:47

I have several cast devices in the home and I want to setup cast to play back to only a select few devices. However, I've noticed that the -inventory command isn't consistent; I might run the command and it will pull up a list of detected devices, which may not be all of them. I'll run it again and then the majority are missing. I'll run it again and then a bunch of them are listed. I'm not sure why the devices keeps dropping in and out, there's no networking issues with the devices themselves as they are working normally.

Anyways, it's not a big deal if one or two of the devices aren't showing up, but the problem is if one of the devices are not seen by cast, then the command doesn't run at all. It would be nice if we could type a command to force it to still cast to other devices that are in the device list, even if all of them are not detected.

Here's the command I currently want to use:
-device "Bathroom Speaker" "Bedroom Display" "Living Room Display" "Kitchen Display" -voice Microsoft Zira Desktop -volume 60 -text Yes, your computer is on

The command works fine if I send it to a device that is currently detected by -inventory. Would sending the cast commands directly to the IP of the devices instead of the name make any difference?

Bug reports • Search and Edit a card not working well

2020-07-22T19:48:46

Hi

I just noticed that when I try to search for a card, then double click to edit it, it doesn't seem to allow this behavior. I'm not sure if this is a bug or more so a feature request, it would be nice option though.

Thanks

Jeff

Shared Push2Run cards • Cards for controlling youtube music in a browser

2020-07-06T08:49:00

Here's some cards for controlling YouTube music, this only works if you have the paid service for youtube music.
To make it work you must have https://music.youtube.com/ open in a browser, and have it as the active window.

To Set up:

Extract the contents of googlehome.rar to c: (you should end up with a folder called C:/Googlehome, which has Nircmd.exe inside) You can of course change the location as you wish, but you will need to edit all of the cards.

Then unpack YT music cards.rar and drag them one by one into Push2Run.

You should now be able to control youtube music using voice.

I haven't managed to get the search working yet, so if anyone knows how to do that please tell me.
Have fun x

Shared Push2Run cards • Card to exectute multiple actions

2020-06-28T06:59:31

I am new to this all and am having trouble creating a card that will a do number of things. I wish for the command to 1) switch to secondary monitor, 2) open Steam Big Picture mode, 3) switch audio output to TV. I have already written a working .BAT file that works when clicked on but doesn't work when executed through Push2Run. The .BAT file is written below.

start C:\Windows\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /external
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" steam://open/bigpicture -fulldesktopres"
nircmd setdefaultsounddevice "TV" 1
exit

This is the error I get when executing the command through Google Assistant/Push2Run
https://imagehost.com.au//icB4D

Any help on this would be extremely appreciated!!

General discussion • Using Google Assistant to dictate to chat in games

2020-06-26T17:34:50

Hi, I hate stopping play to type a chat message in games, I'm old and a bit of a slow typist, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to send my variable (what i say to the homehub) as a message in the chat. it would need to be something like this.

Hey google type "$" ($ = the chat message) `talk to chromecast
pass the chat message to a vb script
pause for 2 seconds
have the vb script press enter to open the chat window
send the string variable as text
have the script press enter again to send the message

Sounds pretty simple but I'm having trouble getting it to work, but I'm not a good coder, I managed to get it to work with notepad using this vb script:

set x=createobject("wscript.shell")
x.run "notepad.exe"
wscript.sleep 2000

But as soon as i try and change it to type into the game it breaks.

Anyone good with vb, or perhaps knows how to do this with Nircmd? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Bug reports • Push2Run fails to initialize

2020-06-19T22:01:14

Hi.
Thanks for this great software.
I was using it for a while. It was my only solution for real remote management.
however, the system suddenly stooped from loading. restart or even re-installation doesn't help.
I keep getting long detailed messages of " ....configuration system failed to initialize".
can someone figure out what happened suddenly.
It is working fine on another pc

thanks

Bug reports • Push2Run Application Force Closes (Presumably)

2020-05-18T22:14:56

Hi,

What a great program this is. Have got it successfully working using Pushover. Originally had it working using Dropbox, but found this would intermittently stop working creating command.txt(1), command.txt(2) etc.

Anyway, using Pushover is great thus far, however, sometimes I will come back to my PC (running Windows 10 Professional 10.0.18363 Build 18363) and the app has disappeared from the system tray, presumably it has force closed for some reason, meaning that commands aren't received.

Do you know why this might be happening?

Thanks again. It's a brilliant program!

Scott

Feature requests • Some basic console commands

2020-05-15T13:56:09

Some basic inapp commands for a controlling the app via console would be nice.
That would require the entries to have a unique id though inside the tree view.
For example:
"Push2Run.exe -list" (could list all card names with their unique ids, to be parsed by an external map to get all commands list)
"Push2Run.exe -del 2" (delete card id 2)
"Push2Run.exe -load c:\blah.p2r" (for dynamically creating cards (ex: ajax/php) and then adding the card to the app)
"Push2Run.exe -enable/disable 2" (set card 2 to active/inactive)
