My eject button doesn't work at all, so I have to use an open/close menu option in other dashboards or programs. XBMC has it & UnleashX has it. My question is, can this be added to Ava in one of the menus?

Look through the setting xmls for this option on the menus, simply copy the function.. If you don't get it by tomorrow sometime i'll try to get back and help you out.

this is the function pulled from unleashx

CODE

Close DVD Tray
Open DVD Tray

I don't have my box with me otherwise I would give this a try, but I did what I could without testing it..

Just find where this code is (starts at line 333), and insert the dvd bit.. it should look something like this..

CODE

                Close DVD Tray

                Open DVD Tray

I think this is wrong though, I don't think it should repeat like that.. Someone give this a try, or shed some light on this topic.

Thanks

Ok, do you mean something like this?

<item presetname="Restart" function="Restart"/>
<item presetname="Eject" function="TrayOpen"/>
<item presetname="Close" function="TrayClose"/>
<item presetname="Shutdown" function="Shutdown"/>

Because this didn't work unfortunately, and i tried different wording ie "opentray", "opendvdtray" etc without any luck.

Try it like mine then, if that doesn't work, we'll have to wait for someone smarter to come along.

xbins has an "Eject and Load" file that I dl'ed, but it's 2 .xbe's and I didn't understand what the 2 .src files are for. I haven't had a chance to try what y'all suggested in the earlier replies, but I'll see what I can get to work. Thanks to everyone who is looking at this for a solution. Thank you.

No problem but hope is fading for me...
Would it be possible for a program independant of avalaunch to be installed on the hdd to carry out this function? Does anyone know of one? Then all we would have to do is point ava at it in the main menu!

Bump

There has got to be a simple solution to this that hasn't been thought of yet. I know an Avalaunch genius is out there somewhere to solve this. This can't be the only thing you can't do w/ Ava. It just has to be possible.

Download Ejecttray.xbe and Loadtray.xbe from Xbins.

Put Ejecttray.xbe and Loadtray.xbe in the root of the directory/folder .ie.C:\

Edit avalaunch.xml with Notepad or whatever ur like.

<font name="menu" size="20"/>


   <item name="Eject" path="C:\ejecttray.xbe"/>
   <item name="Load" path="C:\loadtray.xbe"/>

Now u will have the options on Avalaunch Menu..

Play around a little bit & u might be able to set the x,y, white & black buttons on ur controller with these functions..
