Feature Requests / Way to give thanks in threads without posting.

« on: July 25, 2013, 05:18:16 PM »

Hey James, was wondering if you could implement something like this  http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=710 so that we wouldn't have to make a post to give thanks to someone which will help in keeping the forums a little easier to read through.

Feature Requests / plex integration

« on: July 13, 2013, 06:00:53 PM »

Hello everyone been a while since i been on here. i think plex integration would be great with voxcommando. lately i have been working around with this http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/33696-proof-of-concept-plex-with-kinect/ to play around with gesture control of my media through my htpc. so far im really loving plex and as a long time xbmc user i have to say the user friendliness of it and the fast response time really seems to blow xbmc away. now i know xbmc has been around longer and has some cool plugins and other features but plex now has all sorts of new features that xbmc is lacking in. for starters plex allows you to stream over the web to friends and family by just adding them to your friends list in plex. there is a now playing feature that shows what who is watching at the current time and what has been watched on your media server also.

i found a couple of posts at plex where people are using voice control on there macs to control plex. http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/23932-control-plex-using-speech-recognition/

would there be any possible future having voxcommando running plex for us?

General Discussion / HALi controller question

« on: March 21, 2013, 10:09:09 PM »

hey was wondering a few things about this piece of hardware that i ran into on here..




i am using a usbuirt, cm15a, powermids, ws12a, hr12a, samsung smart tv, xbox 360 slim, pc with xbmc, onkyo stereo system, AM486 and an CAD Audio U7 USB microphone.

would the hali controller pictured above be able to run all of this stuff itself without the need to have my pc on?  i understand that i will have to have my pc turned on for some tasks but can this thing act as my cm15a and usbuirt without the need for those pieces of hardware any longer?

also i couldnt seem to find a price for the controller anywhere or a release date if it is still being developed.

sometimes turning the 360 on/off can be kind of odd sometimes a power off signal will be needed before a power on command can be sent properly, if anyone knows how to fix that issue please let me know

General Discussion / x10.sendplc how to set to certain level of brightness?

« on: March 09, 2013, 06:08:43 PM »

hello everyone ive been getting just about everything setup for my entire theater room and i just ran into another problem i cant fix. ive been trying to get my recessed ceiling lights capable of being controlled precisely. i've been trying to use the xbmc command for setting volume as an example to go off of using this.

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<command id="423" name="Ceiling Lights" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
  <action>
    <cmdType>X10.SendPlc</cmdType>
    <cmdString>I3&amp;&amp;BRIGHT&amp;&amp;{1}</cmdString>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <phrase>lights</phrase>
  <phrase>set to</phrase>
  <payloadList>5,10,15,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100</payloadList>
</command>
also wouldnt vox somehow have to get like a poll for what percent its currently at before it could make it go to a direct percentage

 im sorry if this looks really dumb to others but im just really trying everything i can to make sense of how all of this works. i probably have some really odd other configurations as well just dont wanna have to ask for help for every little thing.



anyways if this is incorrect i would really appreciate any help.

General Discussion / how to make new voices?

« on: November 17, 2012, 08:17:47 PM »

Is there a way i could use stewie griffins voice or maybe morgan freeman with voxcommando? i dont really want just preset audio files to play id like it to be able to say anything still?

i always said if i hit the powerball id hire morgan freeman to walk around and narrate my life. well since i dont expect to ever win realistically this could be the next best thing.

General Discussion / The Ubi

« on: November 17, 2012, 02:25:08 PM »

i was wanting to make something like this http://theubi.com/ but using a raspberry pi. What i would really love is an all in one solution and i havent found any luck with this at all.

My ideal setup would be something like a raspberrypi running xbmc, voxcommando, eventghost, and google now. i also need to be able to control rf, ir, and x10 through the unit

i want to be able to drop a small device in between the 2 chairs in my theater room and just pluy it into the wall and start voice control of all of my gadgets. So if anyone knows something that can handle all of this and be very energy efficient please let me know what i will need to either buy this box outright or make it myself.
