Here is the latest update: Version 0.930. There are a lot of changes / additions. I'm going to just upload it now and then add a post with some information.

Those of you who have been requesting features recently will probably find what you are looking for, but if not, let me know.

EDIT: new attachment, version 0.931 with bug fixes and new command XBMC.SetConnection
EDIT: new attachment, version 0.933 fix for launch commands with parameter and some other additions / fixes

0.933 has some new variables

{#P} = number of payloads in the active command
{#M} = number of matches found (currently regex can return multiple matches but new commands may also do this in the future)
{i} = loop counter when action is repeated multiple times

0.933 also includes the latest DxInput plugin, and a standard configuration for XBMC in German, thanks to Kalle

attachment removed, get a newer version

Here are some of the new fixes / features in 0.930

- Plugin settings now use their own windows. So you can have multiple open and still see the history window.
- VC starts with a grey background when loading. The sequence of events on start up has been cleaned up a bit.
- Commands that require confirmation now generate events, allowing you to prompt the user with TTS etc.
- Every command now has a new setting "RqCnfOvrd". Look in the top right of the LCB. The default is 0 which does nothing. Use this to override the required confidence for this particular command.
- A new scrape command Scrape.XML
- New commands for manipulating results (Results.RegExSingle, Results.RegExReplace, Results.MatchToEvent, Results.MatchConcat)
- Updated the MediaMonkey softmute commands so that you can ajust MM volume while SoftMuted.

Here is a sample group showing how to use the new confirmation features.

Don't worry, it doesn't actually do anything

jitterjames · « **Reply #3 on:** November 21, 2011, 09:36:28 AM »

Adjust this new setting "RqCnfOvrd" when editing a command to override the default "Required Confidence".

If you leave it at 0 it will use the default.

for example if you use a default required confidence of 90, and it works well for most commands, but you have one command that is usually only recognized with a confidence of 75, you could set the override on this command to 70.

Here I will provide more information about Scrape.XML and the various new Results tools.

Haha, nice command

The new confirmation features works great in ON-mode, but it work not in prefix-mode (only the confirm) Example: I say: "my prefix"- "format c drive" - VC-answer: "are you sure...." - I say: "my prefix"-"Yes" or "Don't do it" (or something which we have specified in the options-general-tab), VC do not recognized. Or do I something wrong?

I need a while to test all things - This Version is a big milestone - congratulations

(You have earned a Christmas present

)

I install it over 0.921 (update) and it run/work succesfully

I think this is an old bug. The confirm commands do not use the prefix. I think it was always like this. I will check it. Thanks.

jitterjames · « **Reply #9 on:** November 21, 2011, 05:19:30 PM »

WOW. I just discovered a GIANT BUG in this version. Dang.

When you quick restart, it loads plugins again which it should not, and it generates a VC.loaded event, which it should not.

I'll try to get a fix out today.

Hi James, I found an other bug/problem (sorry)
Take a look on the attach - you can see my complete "set volume" command in prefix-mode with setting a idle-timeout of 5 sec and it work - this is okay,
but when I disable the idle-timeout, the same command (vol 80) set the volume to 16 (curious

) with vol 50 to 10 and so one (always divided 5). When I switch back to On-mode the "error" will remain. Only when I disable my group "intercom with prefix" and "idletime out" group and restart VC, it will work normal.

I will say: without the green/yellow mark set VC the volume in MM to 16 and not to 80

I hope you understand my bad english

Kalle

PS: I'm not sure, that we forget the intercom with prefix, when it make to many problems

jitterjames · « **Reply #11 on:** November 21, 2011, 07:54:54 PM »

Thanks Kalle. Very good bug report. I can see what I did wrong.

I will upload a new version tomorrow with some fixes.

Puh ...

I think it's time that I once again dealing with VC, it has done so incredibly much in the last few month,
I probably have to start from scratch.

I've dealed in the last time almost exclusively with the programming of my home theater control via Web Interface using Event Ghost
(with JQuerymobile).

Hi Marc, I hope you've had success with your remote.
The basics of VC are the same, James has many new features (like plugins) programmed.
Nice to now you have more time for VC

Kalle

jitterjames · « **Reply #14 on:** November 22, 2011, 08:39:29 AM »

It's nice to see you again Siutsch.

Hopefully you will find something new in VC that you like. The way it communicates with EG has not changed, I think.

I would like to hear more about what you are doing with JQueryMobile, but maybe not on this thread.

jitterjames · « **Reply #15 on:** November 22, 2011, 01:24:58 PM »

I put a link to 0.931 in the first post of this thread. Bug fixes and I've added the command

XBMC.SetConnection

so that you can switch between controlling different XBMC machines.

@Kalle I think I fixed the MM.SoftMute/Unmute bug.

and several others...

Installed it but now VC will not start.. Just getting a silly error from win7..
Not sure if this is VC or my pc, but i'm guessing it is my pc since it's living it's own life sometimes.
The biggest problem is that I forgot to backup my setup.

Christian

jitterjames · « **Reply #21 on:** November 22, 2011, 09:44:37 PM »

maybe you should tell us what the "silly error" is. Also did you do a fresh install or are you trying to install on top of an existing VC folder?

PS: Install 0.931 over 0.930 (update) without any problems

Christian · « **Reply #24 on:** November 23, 2011, 07:54:09 AM »

Sorry, the silly error is just that VC has stoped working.
I installed it over 0.921 after reading Kalles post..
But it's not just VC whos not acting normal, a lot of other programs har having problems as well, so I still believe that it is not VC fault..

jitterjames · « **Reply #25 on:** November 23, 2011, 08:40:40 AM »

OK. Good luck getting it sorted out. Reinstalling windows can be very liberating, if you have the time.

Christian · « **Reply #26 on:** November 23, 2011, 09:57:26 PM »

Hehe, thanks

Took me 5 hours but now I'm all done installing Vista on a new home server.

Installed 0.931 and it works again (just don't have my old config and unsure on how to get it back)
The old config was on a w7 x64 and now I'm on Vista x86 so it would be great if someone told me how to get it back..

another thing is that VC 0.931 sometimes give me an error but I have an option to ignore it or close VC.
If I ignore it everything seems ok..

Attached the error log and hope it helps (learned from last time I just wrote about a silly error

)

jitterjames · « **Reply #27 on:** November 23, 2011, 10:20:34 PM »

Get it back from where? Did you format the drive it was on?

That is an error that I have never seen before. I wonder if it could be related to vista. I don't think too many people are using vista any more so it's possible that's why no one has mentioned it before. It looks like it has something to do with the notification icon changing colours. Does this error occur when VC changes modes? (i.e from On to Standby etc.)

If so does it happen every time, or only under certain circumstances, and if so what are they circumstances? I'm going to need your help on this one since you are the only one having the problem and I don't have any vista machines to test it on.

My lady will be back in December and I think her laptop is still running Vista.

P.S. thanks for posting the full log

For anyone who is interested in testing the new keyboard emulation plugin (hopefully works with most games) here is the thread with the new plugin:

http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=629.msg4754#msg4754

just in case you didn't see it.

It's in the early stages now but seems to work. I'm open to suggestions on making it better, and also to know when it does and does not work. (i.e. what games, what OS)

Actually it's fully functional but needs some UI enhancements and maybe an extra "enterText" command for typing full strings.

Currently I"m use this format for key combinations:

{LeftShift}{LeftControl}{W}

but maybe it would be easier if I used

LeftShift+LeftControl+W

what do you think?

Right now I'm working on the google calendar plugin (s l o w l y), and experimenting with a web interface / server that would run in VC.
