Other Plugins / Anti-Repeat for USBUIRT

« on: October 23, 2014, 02:59:12 PM »

So I was using Eventghost for IR commands but after using the USBUIRT plugin with VC it made more sense just to have VC handle it.  The only issue I'm having is one of my commands sent from my Harmony Remote comes through multiple times.  Is there a way to make it so if the same event happens within X seconds of one another, it will only execute once?

Other Plugins / Skype Plugin Payload XML

« on: August 25, 2014, 10:44:00 PM »

So I just watched the tutorial on setting up the Skype plugin and did everything for voice dialing except I modified the action to follow the video call version given here: http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1210.0.  The problem I'm having is when I enter a test payload of say Daddy it connects to Skype and tries to call daddy and says that person is not in my contacts list.

Below is my action but after consideration for my Skype friends' privacy I did not include the payload XML.  For an example however my payload XML clearly has Value daveXXX and Phrase Daddy. 

Any thoughts?

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.0.0.5-->
<command id="1301" name="Call {1}" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">

General Discussion / Broadcaster SetVar

« on: January 07, 2014, 02:24:33 AM »

So spinning off from my other topic about changing zones and sending the TTS to each zone specific, I've been trying to figure out how to use Variables in VC and EventGhost.

So EventGhost can receive serial commands (which I will send from my home automation system).  when a certain serial command is received (i.e. KristiIsHome) then I want to trigger EventGhost to set the variable KristiIsHome to True or 1 or whatever in VC. 

So I used the EventGhost broadcaster plugin and under event I typed Results.SetVar:KristiIsHome and under paryload I typed True.  For whatever reason this isn't setting the variable KristiIsHome in VC.  I tested using OSD.ShowText{Var.KristiIsHome}.  Any thoughts?

General Discussion / TTS to different Zones

« on: January 06, 2014, 03:07:57 PM »

So I am currently using the kx Audio driver with two Sound Blaster SB0060 sound cards which allows me to use each output on the card individually (i.e. front l/r becomes a zone, rear l/r becomes a zone, etc.)

I'm wondering, is there a way to have VoxCommando only respond to certain "zones" or outputs from the card using this driver somehow?  I am currently using J River Media Center which can do the zone control but I'm not sure how I would pass the TTS to the appropriate zone.

Ultimately I envision VoxCommando running my HTPC which is linked to each room and I will use Serial commands to tell VoxCommando what room I'm in and then VoxCommando can respond accordingly.  Do you think this is doable?

Other Plugins / J River Plugin

« on: December 16, 2013, 09:44:39 PM »

I am a J River Media Center user and I'd like to incorporate VoxCommando into my HTPC however I'm wondering if there is a way I can expand the commands for J River to include commands similar to the videos I've seen of VoxCOmmando controlling XBMC (i.e. Play XXX Genre or Play XX Song or video)?

Also a command to set the output zone to X such as "Play Tool in the Kitchen" or something like that or maybe just set output zone to Kitchen would be easier.
