Macros?

Is there a way to do macros in housebot?



i.e. I make a control and it sends out a series of IR commands with time delays in theme?

Winamp plugin question

how do you set a control to track advance when playing a playlist?



I've tried +1 in the playlist song number but that doesn't seem to do anything.
