here's an idea why not simply find a program that renames the file names from the ID3tag, The Godfather http://www.jtclipper.eu/thegodfather/features.html could be a perfect example.

This is quite interesting, but is there any way to create a payload XML file that would work with this but uses the ID3 tags? I have working Media libraries in WMC and MediaPortal, but they both use some other method to launch the files I suppose (MP seems to be using a number ID for each file). If I understood correctly the script you have made reads the filename and changes it so it can be interpreted by Vox. My file names are so random that this is not gonna help. Is there any way to get the file location info to the payload file from the WMC or MP scan for example, but read the Artist and Track name info from the ID3 tag?

yes I think it is possible to create a payload XML file by using  ID3 tag info in python, when and if i ever get extremely bored, I may give it a go, but don't count on it.

I'm not to sure about getting path names from WMC or MP scans, never experimented with them two programs. i think it would be best just to scan the file name paths using current method in the python script and grab Artist and Track name info from the ID3 tag, and then generate a payload xml file.

Maybe this project can do this job   ::hmm

https://code.google.com/p/funkcontrol-over-net/

I've done this project too and it works great and can also contolled by VoxCommando. I use a Arduino Mega+Ethernetshield, because a normal UNO R3 board has not enough space to store the code. The guy which create this project use a UNO R3 with integrated Ethernet but this one is here expensive (70 EUR). The Arduino Mega2560 + Ethernetshield is cheaper - together 25-30 EUR or less.

Mega2560: http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=EKitsZone%20MEGA2560%20R3%20ATMEGA2560%20ATMEGA16U2%20Compatible%20Arduino%20MEGE2560%20R3&_itemId=251027542995

I've you have any question, let me know  ;)

Kalle is right here, you could use the above to accomplish the task, but you will need to have  good electronic/programming skills to interface the above to the RF remote.

hi Mirac78

I install and repair Electric gates now and then,, so i am familiar with the controllers and remotes. The remotes that are used in the electric gate/Shutter industry are mainly a rolling type code (code is always changing), but the remotes and the controller can be configured to work on static codes also, to answer your question there is no easy way to do it, I have a home automation controller that i designed that "may be" up to the task, but it's not "available" yet and I don't know if it ever will be.
I have already pushed this idea  to my current customer who wants an electric gate fitting. I'll be going today to inspect the work carried out by the gate manufacturer and tomorrow I may install the electrical side of things.

I could keep you posted if you like.

edit: the remote you have for your shutter is not a rolling code remote. I also think your remote can be emulated with my gadget.

You will need to create a payload xml to get the above command working.

The above method will probably work with many other media players out there.

Enjoy.

My first post in this great community..

I just wonder how is the range with the USB UIRT? So far I'm using the MCE remote with ir blaster for my TV and Air conditioner (eventghost method). Works great but only disadvantage is cause i need to get the blaster really close to the device to successful send the code. I wonder if USB UIRT work something like classic remote? My TV remote can be pointed in any direction and works like a charm.
Hope you understand me, sry on lousy english..

Hi
I would like to point out that, some IR Emitters use  red Led's to emit the IR Codes, such as the picture posted by Kalle, the range of these led's is small, to get a better range one must use proper infra red leds.
you can tell the difference easily, the red leds will produce visible light, and the IR leds will be invisible and can only be seen easily if you view the led using a camera.

Yes using & in a payloadXML is ok.  If you test it you will see it works.  If you use the built-in payload editor in VoxCommando and save a payload that contains &, and then look at the file in a text viewer such as notepad++ you will see that the & is encoded as &amp;

Understood !

Hi
Just need some info on payload xmls. How does vc treat &amp; in a payload xml string. will vc treat is as & when parsing the xml, and will vc recognise it (voice command) as Lustral Everytime Nalin & Kane mix ?

Code: [Select]
<payload>
<value>E:\Music\MIJ Selection\Lustral - Everytime (Nalin &amp; Kane mix).mp3</value>
<phrase>Lustral Everytime Nalin &amp; Kane mix</phrase>
</payload>

Integration Ideas / XWidget Integration for Voxcommando.
« on: May 25, 2014, 04:26:27 PM »
XWidget has been integrated into the vc collective.

http://www.xwidget.com



Possibilities are endless when vc is involved.

Some uses are:
1. create a "always on top" button that toggles  vc.on vc.off
2. create a "always on top" button for text to speech.
3. create a button that speaks weather information.
4. Internal engine supports scripts (VB, Javascript).
5. blah blah.

If anyone thinks it may be useful, let me know, I may do a tutorial.

got to go, more may follow.

Thank you so much James and Naomi for awesome support and an awesome program.

Welcome to tomorrow.

Get your umbrellas out, it's raining for sure.


today the webparser.dll got tamed, it is now possible to use the webparser.dll to parse a payload xml and present the information into a Rainmeter. The data in the meter is clickable, this means I can click on a vc command list,  my music folders list or mp3 list and execute the task.

I'm off to bed or maybe i will party.

payloads are do able and i think it will be easy, not to sure about dictation, never experimented with it

43
latest news on the rainmeter integration, I was able to write a python script that parses a vc  rss feed xml and display x amount of random commands into a meter. Now if only I could click them(working on it)  ;D




44
An example meter for rainmeter to display information such as  voice commands for vc, voice commands for music videos, weather etc. All I do is create a text file in vc save it in a specific folder, the next thing you know rainmeter refreshes the meter with the new contents of the text file. Now I have total control where information can be positioned and displayed.





may be this topic should be moved to integration ideas.

If you like, sure. But it seems like it would make more sense, and be more reliable, if you could create consistent file names and then work with that.
Personally i think there is no need to upload it (waste of digital space)  :biglaugh, the relevent info is in the first post.
I agree, it would be more reliable if file names are consistent and include a "-" between the artist and song name.

Quote
The above obviously won't work perfectly if you have file names with more than one " - " in the name.
True, I will have to use other methods to get rid of any extra "-" in the name.
