Version 1.1.6.3

[jitterjames]

Happy REAL Thanksgiving everyone.  Here is version 1.1.6.3

(link removed)

Many thanks to GMIB for creating a French version of the standard configuration for XBMC Frodo!

There are many little things that were changed, added, fixed.

Here's something that I find particularly handy.

{Match.Rnd}  (get a random match after doing regex etc.)

{Rnd.1.10}   (get a random number from 1 to 10.  You can replace 1 and 10 with any integers as long as the first one is less than the second one.

I just discovered that there is a small bug which may prevent TcpMic from recognizing commands from VoxWav when VC is in Off mode (it should work normally with VoxWav even when VC is off).

It was driving me nuts.  I could not figure out why sometimes VoxWav was working perfectly and sometimes not at all.  Anyway it will be corrected in the next version but I wanted to mention it in case anyone else is running into the same problem!

Sorry.

OK should be fixed in 1.1.6.6

How does one upgrade? Just install over your current installation folder?
I had downloaded what I thought was the latest release from the homepage: http://voxcommando.com/downloads.asp but it's version 1.150

[jitterjames]

Just run the self extracting exe (installer) in the folder you want to update and tell it to overwrite files when asked.

It is recommended to create a backup of your VC folder before updating just in case something goes sideways.

The actual latest version 1.1.6.6 which you can get here: http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1228.0

Once I have verified that there are no bugs in it it will be moved to the official download page.  Currently everything is fine with 1.1.6.6. as far as I know, except that you'll want to then update the Vera plugin with the new Vera dll I posted earlier today.

Question regarding {Rand.1.10}

Can this be used in the line item field for a File.ReadLine? If so, that would really great. I can now make my really long list of jokes to randomly speak when I ask VC to tell me a joke"

Other uses can include random longer things to speak such as the thought for today or inspirational quotes, random facts, etc.

Just wondering if it's is possible?

Why don't you try it?  Then you will have the answer!

You may also want to check out the payloadXML actions: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Actions#GetRandomP

Random Payload XML is even better! Thanks! I was just thinking of it for use with an external txt file that could come from another source.

[jitterjames]

This works too, but you would need to know the number of lines of the text file in order to generate the random number correctly.  This would also be very easy to do with python using readlines:

Readlines returns a list of strings.  you just need to check the size of the list and then access one line at random.
