Help! Something recently happened that has caused some commands =
(macros) in my Map file to suddenly quit working. One difficulty is =
that I can't identify exactly when the problem started. It's very =
possible that it happened at the same time I installed the 01/06/01 =
version, although after I uninstalled that version and reinstalled the =
12/14/00 the problem continues.
The problem is that certain commands are completely ignored when =
executed from the CDJ command line (debug window) or as commands =
included in other Map macros. For example, when the avir:dvd button or =
the avir:power_off buttons (see below) are pressed on the remote =
control, the assocated macros work properly. But, nothing at all =
happens when these commands are entered on the debug window or are =
included in other macros. =20
Note the md:power macro below IS executed when the md:power remote =
control button is pressed, evidenced by the successful execution of the =
X10 commands, however the avir:power_off command is ignored.
This has always worked flawlessly in the past. I can't think of anthing =
I could have done to cause this problem.
Thanks for any ideas/suggestions. I'll try anything.
