VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Trouble viewing incoming TCP info in VC

« on: September 29, 2023, 10:13:06 PM »

Hi, I'm having trouble getting VC to recognize the response from my receiver using the TCP plugin.  I can successfully send it "(VOL U)" command and the volume goes up.  Then my receiver spits out the current volume, I can see the info in Wireshark, but I cannot see it in VC and my lastresult stays empty.  What can I try?  I'd like to use any incoming volume changes to trigger events. 

Thanks so much!

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Voxcommando to control Android using ADB?

« on: December 06, 2022, 04:39:52 AM »

Hi, I'd like to use VC to control my Android device using ADB over my home network.  This should be possible but is broadcasting ADB commands over the network something Voxcommando can do?  Maybe with a plugin?

I'm using a Shield TV and want to control Play/Pause/rewind etc via voice.  I know how to do it, including using this handy app: Minimal ADB and Fastboot, (more info here and here) to send the ADB over the network and without rooting the android device too, but it would be much better to do it straight from VC. 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!!

RegEx (Regular Expressions) / Problem scraping https page

« on: June 27, 2019, 03:02:53 PM »

Hi, this used to be an intermittent problem but now the scrape fails every time. 

I can access the page in my browser, no problem, but when setting the RegEx Source to the following URL I get the below error.

https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/litecoin/

System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted.  Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
  at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
  at eval_.eval_(String A_0)

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Feature Requests / blinking taskbar icon

« on: May 14, 2017, 10:32:58 PM »

I would find it very useful if the VC taskbar icon could blink when a command is successfully recognized/executed.  I have one instance of VC running on my laptop that sends some commands to my main instance on my HTPC.  I'd love to not have to open up VC all the time to confirm that my command was recognized.  I simple blink of the icon would solve this.  Any chance of adding something like that??

Python Scripting / How do I make floating point numbers = integers??

« on: May 12, 2017, 03:21:58 AM »

Ok, So I'm getting crazy answers to simple math I'm trying to do in Python.  After researching, it seems python does math in a strange way that noobs like myself find confusing (floating point).  I use python math in several VC commands so it's strange I'm just running into this problem for the first time now. 

The PY.ExecString action that is giving me trouble is this one:

Code: [Select]

result=({Var.var1}-{var.var2})
where both var 1 and 2 are decimals (ie. 0.123456)

When I replace them with the actual numbers instead of variables, the math works fine so for some reason the variables must be in float format instead of integers, I guess? 

Anyway, how do I tell that PYExecString to force the result to be an integer and not super long floating point numbers? 

I've spent hours on this so I hope someone can help!  Thank you!

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Two instances of OSD.ShowText ?

« on: May 10, 2017, 11:44:27 PM »

Hi, is it possible to have two instances of OSD.ShowText appear at the same time?  In my experiments, I couldn't do so.  Also, if that is possible, can I set a different text color for each instance??  I need to do both of these things for my latest project

If neither of the above are possible, can I at least make the OSD.DisplayText show a second line? 

Code: [Select]

<p>,<br> do not work.

Thanks in advance!!

*edit* also is it possible to move the text display horizontally?  I can move it vertically but not horizontally.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / VC.TellVox issue with duplicated Payloads

« on: December 30, 2016, 02:37:01 AM »

Hi, I'm doing something wrong and would love some help figuring out how to fix it.  Thanks in advance for taking a look!

I'm attempting to use VoxCommando on two different PCs and using this technique: http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1050.msg8790#msg8790

EventGhost.SetIP   - 192.x.x.x
EventGhost.SetPort - 33000
EventGhost.Send    - VC.TellVox - xyz

(sends to VC not EventGhost)

It is working fine for all of my commands EXCEPT for the ones which contain Payloads.  On those, I cannot replace xyz above with their exact phrase because there are variables (payloads) in the phrase. 

I've tried a few things and when using "VC.Tellvox - {lastspoken}", the payloads are being correctly added to the message sent to the other PC but they are being duplicated and appended to the end of the command so the receiving PC's VoxCommando sees the payloads twice, like below.

Example (window of receiving VoxCommando):
emulate: Set a timer for 2 minutes&&2&&minutes

This will not allow the receiving PC to recognize the phrase

Is there a way to strip that appended payload (&&2&&minutes) from the command before it is sent?

Thanks so much for taking a look at this

RegEx (Regular Expressions) / Working with two Match.1.1's

« on: December 29, 2016, 07:31:11 PM »

Hi, I'm having an issue getting RegEx to do what I want and would love some advice.

I'm basically trying to scrape numbers from two different websites and add them together.  The issue I'm having is that when I scrape the second site, the results in Match.1.1 are replaced when RegEX scrapes the second site.  I need to be able to use both matches from both scrapes at the same time.  How do I rename or set the first Match.1.1 as a variable?  I've tried MANY different things but obviously not the right one yet!  My problem when trying to set the result as a variable using {lastresult} is that lastresult is the full scrape and not the RegEX'd Match.1.1.

Thanks in advance!

Other Plugins / Audio.Play parameter not working for me

« on: June 19, 2016, 10:59:21 PM »

Hi, I'm having an issue using either Audio.Play or Audio.SetOutputNum to play a .WAV file over a non default USB speaker.  I do have the Audio plugin installed and it is set to use my system default audio device (HDMI). 

The name of the audio device I put in the Audio.Play parameter is "Speaker (USB Audio  )" I also tried just "Speaker".  With Audio.SetOutputNum I tried numbers 1-5 and tried using Sound.PlayWav or Audio.Play just below it.  I get no audio from the USB speaker but no matter what number I put I get the audio from the default device. 

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong??

Other Plugins / TTS.Speak pronunciation issue in VC (Ivona voice)

« on: June 17, 2016, 07:48:32 PM »

I'm trying to adjust how the IVONA TTS voice pronounces a few words.  I've found instructions to do so HERE and they work, however, if I put any text BEFORE the code to change the pronunciation, the voice reads all the code.  If I put text only AFTER the code, it works fine.  TTS.Speaksync does the same thing too.

If that sounds confusing, make a new action of TTS.Speak, try entering each of these and play them.  You'll see (hear) what I mean

Works fine:

Code: [Select]

<w role="ivona:VBD">read</w> the book yesterday
Preceding word breaks things:

Code: [Select]

I <w role="ivona:VBD">read</w> the book yesterday
Do I have to put a character after my text but before the code, to let VC know not to pronounce the code possibly??

Bug Reports / bug in TTS voice volume?

« on: June 17, 2016, 04:41:03 PM »

Hi, I think I found another bug.  When I reduce the volume of the SAPI5 voice using the slider in the TTS window, save etc. and then restart VC, the slider stays half way down but the voice's audio seems to be back at 100%.  I have "Speakers (USB Audio)" selected for the TTS output and it is not the default system audio output (default is HDMI).  This is on Windows 7 64bit.

If you need any more info, just ask.  And thanks again for this great program.  I just started using it again and love how intuitive it is to get cool things happening

Bug Reports / TTSMS & bluetooth speaker bug on VC restart? (Solved)

« on: December 14, 2014, 06:21:11 PM »

Hello, I'm pretty new (2 weeks of tinkering) to VC so thanks for all of the informative posts and tutorials.  This program is a lot of fun to mess around with (I used to use girder so the concepts are familiar) and as a quadriplegic, I'm already envisioning ways it could help make my life a lot better.  I'm pretty excited about it, to be honest

In my tinkering, I think I found a bug.  I can recreate it 100% of the time. 
Using both 2.1.2.5 and 2.1.2.7
Using MS TTS plugin
Using bluetooth speaker as output device. It is not the system default output device but is specified in TTSMS plugin settings as the one to use.  (allows me to hear TTS when my receiver is in "exclusive mode" DD5.1/DTS)

bug: Full restart VC.  TTSMS voice no longer audible.  VC appears to work fine, OSD shows but no audio from speaker.

fix: click "plugins" -> TTSMS then just close that window without making any changes or clicking anything. Now TTSMS voice starts working again.

I hope that is enough info but if not, let me know what you need. It is a bit annoying to have to remember to do that each time I restart VC.

Thanks!
