I'm using AppleScripts and RemoteBuddy to manage Plex, Hulu Desktop, EyeTV, and Boxee on my Mac TV setup. I'm by no means a pro at AppleScript so I'd hope I could get some help here.

The goal is for the script to close whichever app is open, launch Boxee, and tab over to "Apps" and hit enter so that basically the button that I assign this script to will take me straight to the app screen. This works great for everything except Hulu Desktop. That section of the script just won't send the keystrokes. I've tried putting in delays everywhere and even had it send the keystrokes over and over just to test and it just won't send them. Any help?

Code:
tell application "System Events"
	if exists process "EyeTV" then
		tell application "Boxee" to launch
		tell application "EyeTV" to close every window
		tell application "Boxee" to activate
	end if
	if exists process "Hulu Desktop" then
		tell application "Boxee" to launch
		tell application "Boxee" to activate
		tell application "System Events" to key code 124
		tell application "System Events" to key code 124
		tell application "System Events" to key code 36
		tell application "System Events" to key code 124
		delay 1
		tell application "Hulu Desktop" to quit
	end if
	if exists process "Plex" then
		tell application "Plex" to quit
		tell application "Boxee" to launch
		tell application "Boxee" to activate
		delay 1
	end if
end tell
tell application "Boxee" to activate
tell application "System Events" to key code 124
tell application "System Events" to key code 124
tell application "System Events" to key code 36
tell application "System Events" to key code 124

I notice in the other two sections your closing the other application before manipulating boxee. Try quiting hulu and then put a while delay loop in till the process is gone before activating boxee.

I've tried that as well, I'll try it with a really long delay just to see if Hulu is hanging.

It might be because you have a tell block within a tell block, both towards System Events. What happens if you take out the "tell app System Events to" part (of the inner blocks), leaving just "key code x"?

I think it's this.

Also, to simplify, you don't need to launch and activate. telling an app to activate will launch it too.
