Title: Directing VC OSD to XBMC
Post by: Haddood on August 02, 2014, 09:57:39 PM: I am totally new to XBMC (just retired WMC) ...
I was wondering if there is a way on XBMC is running and in focus that we can make all OSD messages appears inside XBMC OSD

thanks

You can also edit dialogkaitoast.xml in your XBMC skin if you want more control over the popup. I think it is possible to disable the popup sound for example.

Or if you disable "true fullscreen" in XBMC then you can use the regular VC OSD popups, provided that it is all running on the same system. Unfortunately, depending on your setup, true fullscreen may be necessary in order to get smooth video playback.

it is showing the command rather than the reply ...

example:
I say "what time is it?" OSD in XBMC shows : what time is it (82):
VC replies "9:32 pm" and shoes VC OSD with the same text and nothing shoes in XBMC

For user generated OSD you must use an xJSON action, you can't redirect your existing OSD.showtext actions.

solved, all that is needed make the path with double slash... now all is needed a nice PNG file from VC icon. ;)

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>  <command id="777" name="XBMC sample notification" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description=""> <action> <cmdType>Results.SetLastResult</cmdType> <params> <param>{Path.VC}</param> </params> <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat> </action> <action> <cmdType>Results.Replace</cmdType> <params> <param>\</param> <param>\\</param> </params> <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat> </action> <action> <cmdType>XJson.Raw</cmdType> <params> <param>GUI.ShowNotification</param> <param>"image":"{LastResult}\\plugins\\TcpMic\\icon.PNG","title":"Hey There...","message":"How YOU doin?"</param> </params> <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat> </action> </command>
