Hi, I've got the code to minimise kodi, but can't find out how to maximise it back?
Any ideas, I'm sure it's something simple

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / On Sreen dialogue box

« on: January 06, 2016, 08:31:48 AM »

Despite having 'Show OSD on Command', 'Show OSD alternatives' & 'Only show OSD/alternates if command is executed' all deselected, I'm getting the OSD (in Kodi) for all command VC hears, whether it actions them or not?
VC version 2.2.0.7
Kodi version 16.0

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Start minimised

« on: December 17, 2015, 07:47:31 AM »

I've got 'start with windows' enabled in the settings.  Is there a way of starting VC in the background so it doesn't open on the screen, or take the focus off other programs that run at startup, i.e xbmc?

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Upgrading VC

« on: December 03, 2015, 05:45:09 AM »

What's the best way to upgade VC.  Copy over my current one with the new one or remove the old one first?

Also, how many instances of VC can I run on a single licence.  I'm looking to add voice control in my kitchen?

Thanks

Is the 'learn checkbox' exclusive to VC or is it the same as 'Train Profile' in the Speech Recognition Control Panel?

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Auto update xlm files every morning

« on: December 02, 2014, 06:11:28 AM »

I'm trying to automate the 'generate xml' command every morning to keep my media library up to date, but am having real problems.
I've set an 'VC.SetEventTimer' on VC start to trigger an event called 'trigger xml gen' at 5:00 everyday.
This event activates a command that.
1. opens XBMC
2. waits 5 minutes (vc.pause 300000) (this gives xbmc a chance to update it's media).
3 generates xml
4. quick restarts VC
5. sets the trigger again for the next morning (VC.SetEventTimer 23h 55m 00s)
6 closes XBMC

At 5.00 the event was triggered but 25 times (13 yesterday).  This means that all of the above steps were executed 25 times (taking over 2 hours).

I know I'm doing something fundamentally wrong but can't find a definitive set of instructions on how to automate the generating of the xml files.

Any help would ne appreciated. Thanks.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / VC opening websites in wrong browser

« on: November 27, 2014, 07:01:06 PM »

Wasn't sure if anyone else had come across this.
I'm trying to get VC to auto login and start Sky Go in internet explorer, as it's less juddery than chrome, but VC keeps opening the URL in Chrome.
I've got IE set as default browser and have confirmed in the chrome settings that it isn't the default.
Im using the command Launch.OpenURL

fyi when I use the 'show help' command the page opens in IE.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Check to see if XBMC is running

« on: November 20, 2014, 07:53:55 AM »

I've just started using Vox and think it's amazing.  It's opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

I was wandering if there's a command that'll check to see if XBMC is running so that I can open it, if it isn't?

Also, how do I call a macro from within another macro?

Thanks.
