Should be one more by the end of the week, I've talked my even less technical friend into it with my youtube demo. It will fast become my life's mission to show people just how much fun this software is!
Let us know when you fancy that pint

Hey alll,
I spent a good day researching XBMC forums for how to do this, but got nowhere so thought maybe you awesome people could help.
Using fast forward and rewind is fairly clumsy so I decided I would use step forward and step back instead, but to my amazement the people who made XBMC made the jump default to 30 seconds! My missus says, "I missed that, go back" and I use the step backward button/voice command and it bounces me 30 seconds previous when I only needed about 5 seconds.
My research led me to create an advanced.xml file in my "User data" folder and I tried every instruction on every forum and it just does nothing as if I'd never created the file. After a while I began to consider whether it was the skin I was using as some forums suggested altering another XML file called videoOSDsettings.xml under C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\720p
There is no similar folder for the 'Night' skin, and perhaps that is totally irrelevant considering I know nothing about coding and can only follow explicit instructions and make educated guesses and perhaps I am miss-understanding what the skin.confluence folder contains.
And so I fall to you. Is there anything you guys can suggest, i.e. do you know in what way I am being an idiot, more to the point is there a workaround in Voxcommando to shorten the jump to just 5 seconds.
Below is the most recent attempt at the advancedsettings.xml file...
<advancedsettings>
<video>
<timeseekforward>5</timeseekforward> <!-- Time to seek forward in sec - short seek. Defaults to 30. -->
<timeseekbackward>-5</timeseekbackward> <!-- Time to seek backward in sec - short seek. Defaults to -30. -->
<timeseekforwardbig>600</timeseekforwardbig> <!-- Time seek forward in sec- long seek. Def 600 (10 min). -->
<timeseekbackwardbig>-600</timeseekbackwardbig> <!-- Time seek back in sec - long seek. Def to -600 (10 min). -->
</video>
</advancedsettings>
Loving your work as always

Thank you mate. Exactly the info I needed.
I now have a way forwards with both windows speech recognition, and with Voxcommando. Thanks to your kind and speedy responses.
Thanks to Kalle also.
I am continuing to recommend your product to everyone I speak to.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Re: Using Vox commando to control Windows
« on: March 04, 2012, 09:28:48 AM »Hi MrWolf and welcome to VC forum.
A answer for the most questions and how VC works you can find if you click on the Wiki button. The Wiki tutorial is not realy up to date, but for first steps the best. To launch any programm by VC you can use the "launch" command, you can find it in the command builder if you click on the "magic wand". VC itself use the Windows Speech engine and you can use it also to type text by speech.
If you have any question, let us know
Kalle
Thanks to both, I have built some commands already, but my difficulty is that I can launch say google chrome, but then how do I navigate it? With windows speech recognition I can say scroll down, and I can select links etc. I was wondering how you guys achieved this with vox commando?
Did you literally build one command at a time for every application you wanted to navigate?

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Using Vox commando to control Windows
« on: March 03, 2012, 02:54:19 PM »
Hi all,
First of all, this software is literally mind blowingly brilliant, when I tell my friends what I have achieved so far they don't believe me. Second of all I am utterly useless when it comes to any kind of Dev style work or understanding anything more technical than programming simple commands, my Voxcommando tree would probably have you all laughing as the level of competency here seems fairly incredible and I have probably taken the long way around most of my macros.
I am using Vox commando 0.942 and Eventghost in conjunction on Windows7 64bit
I would like to be able to say a command such as "behave like Windows Speech recognition" to be able to launch programs browse the web, type text etc etc. I've browsed around for plugins, and to try to find other people trying to achieve this but I have been unable to find anything.
I have tried to use Eventghost to launch Windows Speech Recognition and then tell Voxcommando to stop listening, but the shortcut I have on my desktop for Windows Speech Recognition does not play nice with Eventghost. Eventghost says something to the effect of "Not a valid executable". I'm in the process of trying to find the file path for Windows Speech recognition so that I can try to use Voxcommando's "Launch" command.
I'd prefer to control everything natively in Voxcommando if possible to avoid using Windows Speech recognition altogether but I imagine sitting down and programming every macro for every program on my PC would take an eternity.
So I suppose my question is, how are the rest of you doing it? If someone has achieved it, or has created endless commands for controlling their PC then could you maybe zip up your vox commando and send it me so that I can strip out you hard work?
I'm sure that most of the above seems fairly imbecillic to anyone that has been using this software for a while, hopefully not.
