General Discussion / New to VC - not getting things to work
« on: February 02, 2012, 10:16:24 AM »
Hi,
I recently found this site when updating my htpc to win 7 prof (en) and installing the latest wifi-remote plugin for MediaPortal.
I was immediately amazed by the program and so I downloaded the trial version. Currently I only have a microsoft camera with integrated mic plugged into my HTPC.
I installed the plugins for MP and added a prefix to activate VC.
First problem i encountered was that it didn't respond to my prefix command (computer).
I must say that I tested different distances between me and the mic. Nothing worked. After that I set it up to "always listen" and started mediaportal.
First I tried if VC sends the commands throug wifi-remote to MP. Therefore I used the actions manually in the plugins options. That worked.
Then I tried some simple voice commands like "left" "right" "play" "pause" "home"...most of the time it didn't work and I don't know why.
Ok I'm german so I might have a liiiittle accent but I used really simple words here.
So what did I wrong?
Is it the microphone?
Is it a wrong option? Do I have to enable things some things? (but it worked some times...)
