i think i understand what you are saying, let me try and restate it:

1 group is a master group, always enabled by default. This is the control method of deciding which "remote/set" is active. This could be used with the A B C D buttons at the bottom of Firefly.

So say for example, A = tv remote, B = receiver, C = beyond, D = fan

Each letter is going to have it's own multi-group, under it is the command to first make sure the letters for the remotes/sets that arn't to be used are set to disable via the girder action. Last it enables the actual learned commands for that remote you intend to be able to fuction. As a bonus, I could add "say" and OSD commands under this multigroup to announce "TV remote" and show "A" or "TV" as an OSD. So (assuming all the TV remote buttons are configured already) if I wanted to have all my TV remotes controls enabled, just press A. Girder disables B, C, and D, then enables A.

(somehow, magically, it's starting to make sense...that or the cheap pizza I just ate at lunch is making me smarter)

Just make sure A B C D are disabled by default to prevent multiple girder commands being active should you restart your PC or Girder and keep the master group enabled at all times. As you use it, Girder will stay with the last active "letter" it was at, and by indication of the OSD, when I return to the TV I can tell which remote is active just by looking.

Neat stuff, I don't know why I like this stuff...it seems so complicated, but at the same time, nerdy and appealing lol.

Some more questions:
I didn't get a chance to play with your gml yet, but I'm going to assume that the firefly group can do both beyond tv and media? I saw that it used script commands (i have no idea how this stuff works). So I guess that media and tv use the same scripts for control. Just trying to figure out if I need anything else to setup. What about all those other things the firefly can control...I know out of the box, firefly supports tons of media software, and while I usually don't need to use them, I was wondering if I'll lose that capability once I remove beyond media basic and install just the driver + girder. I'm assuming not as I'm still trying to understand your taskswitching toplevel group functions.

Girder # channels. What exactly is that. You noted they need to be #1 for firefly cmd group. I initially thought this was the secret to having multiple button commands from my firefly, or perhaps is another method??? Maybe it's just so you can have more then one firefly remote? Ah damn, my smartness just went away lol...

Any and all tips are very appreciative. This thread is becoming something useful finally and I'm starting to love my Firefly remote all over again hehe.
