Ohh, I am seeing many tutorials, any specific one you can link me to which gives instructions specifically for setting up VC with a music player please?

Makes sense. I had thought if one could use a code word to tell the system when to listen for your command and when to turn off then this might cut down on it picking up anything in the background?
These are standard features, but it's not really enough to make using an open mic feasible in a loud environment, in my opinion.


Also before I experiment with VC and voxwav, can you confirm which player you use and if you are able to have a playlist run continuously and if you can call up a specific tune from your entire library and have it either play now or play next please?

I use MediaMonkey, but you can use iTunes, Kodi, JRiverMedia center.  Functionality will vary depending on the program.

MediaMonkey has an option to play a song next instead of now but it seems to queue the requested song at the end of the playlist, rather than the beginning.  I can take a look at the MediaMonkey plugin to see if this can be fixed because that's not really how it should work ideally.

Getting a song to play next on OtsWav is relatively straightforward assuming you know the ID number that OtsAV has assigned to that particular song.

I wouldn't attempt using an open mic like on a dance floor being in between people. My scenario is like that in your video outdoors in my yard only picture it with a few people sitting around us chatting and listening to music.

So any specific tutorial for me setting up VC with MM? I can try that first to learn the process then try with OTSAV.

The installation help page on the wiki provides links to setting up specific configurations, including MediaMonkey.

http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Installation

There is no video tutorial specifically for the MediaMonkey configuration.

The video tutorials index of the wiki may still be helpful:

TIPS: POST VC VERSION #. Explain what you want VC to do. Say what you've tried & what happened, or post a video demo. Attach VC log. Link to instructions followed.  Post your command (xml)

VoxCommando is designed to work with MediaMonkey, not OtsAV.  So "learn the process then try with OTSAV" does not really make sense.

But using MediaMonkey is a good place to start if you want to get familiar with VC and test microphones etc.

Thx. Hmnn, attempting this from this tutorial:

With MM open as Administrator and clicking on "Gen MediaMonkey", nothing is happening? The other tool menu functions are working as can be seen.

It might just seem like nothing is happening if you do not have the history window open.

Also, did you scan (import) all your songs to MediaMonkey first?

Actually "play next" seems to work fine in MediaMonkey.  NOt sure what I was doing wrong before.

Here's a very quick demo of that behaviour:

MM always has my library and a playlist loaded and ready when opened. I have to leave for work now so will need to continue with this later, get back to you, thx.

I'm guessing that the first image is from the Wiki and is not what yours looks like?

It looks like you did not follow the setup instructions in the link we sent you.
http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Default_VoxCommando_Configurations
You did not follow step 3.

What is odd is that you said you clicked "Gen MediaMonkey" but that doesn't seem possible because it looks like you selected the blank configuration so that menu option would not be visible to you.

http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Default_VoxCommando_Configurations

You can click File > Apply Standard Configuration, then select English / MediaMonkey.zip (note that this will overwrite your current configuration, but in your case it does not matter).

I seem to be missing something here, I don;t know what the step 3 is in that link. Applied the standard config as stated above. To test MM I am looking for a play button in VC and can;t find any and also spoke Music Play into my USB Mic but nothing. Sorry for the trouble but as mentioned I knew this won;t be easy for me.

I do understand now what you had said earlier though. VC is designer for MM but for OTSAV it will need specialized coding, makes sense.

Indeed.  It might not be possible to help you.

What are those images that you posted supposed to show?

Start a fresh copy of VoxCommando and select one of the available MediaMonkey configurations when prompted.
