VoxWav Free and VoxWav Pro / Voxwav Pro version for Android Wear Moto 360 smartwatch

« on: July 04, 2014, 03:38:24 AM »

With the various Android Wear smartwatches coming out, will a version of voxwav pro be posxible for the Moto 360?, and if so, will Sir Voxington be whipping up some voxwav Wear magic?.

Just wondering.

Windows 8 / 10 / Re: Trouble installing on Windows 8.1

« on: February 24, 2014, 11:10:17 PM »

Hello,
I am running Voxcommando on Windows 8.1 x64,  and have no issues with crashing or anything, in fact I find VC pretty crash proof.
(It needs to be when I'm using it)

(grin) My only issue being that as a newbie, I don't really know what I am doing as far as VC is concerned, and am probably annoying users like James and Kalle by asking questions.

Thanks James!.
I will try the version you attatched.

I did actually read mention of people reverting back to 2.4, it is just that I could not find that version on their site, as has been removed.
Found 2.3 on a UK GlobalCache site, but it has same issues as 2.6 and 2.5.

(Grin) So presumably 2.4 was written by someone who knows what they are doing, but was too expensive and got fired.
Someone in the GlobahCache windows development team definately needs firing.

Should be interesting trying the 2.4 version out.
Thanks very much again, GlobalCache could learn something about support from the VoxCommando forums.

Well, the Mac version of iLearn definately registers a different large value at very end of code, which is completely different to the value that he Windows 2.6 version ends up with.
The Mac version generates an end value identical to the Sony codes linked to in post above, where as the Windows 2.6 value is much less.

The obvious difference being that the Windows 2.6 version just can not capture any code from Sony at all on first attempt. (most often not at all),  where as the Mac version has a 100% recognition rate of a valid code per button press.

The difference is like night and day!

Another Update.

Amidst my preperations for hari-cari,  and after seriously thinking about whamming my iTach with a 12 pound sledge hsmmer.
I made an interesting discovery.

I found a developer has created a Mac version of iLearn, that is not officially supported by GlobalCache.
I installed it on my Mac,  and tried it out.
To my surprise, it read codes from my Sony AVR without issue, and the iLearn Mac version played the codes back fine too.

So, it would appear that my iTach is seemingly fine.
But seemingly the Windows version 2.6 official iLearn utility has some issues.

Seems crazy that the unofficial version on a different platform works better than the native Windows app on the GlobalCache site.

OK, I managed to finally learn a command in iLearn, and then play it back.
The Sony code must be 3 lines, with a gap between.

eg. Here is a learned volume command in GC compressed mode.

[VOLUME UP]   sendir,1:3,1,40064,1,1,96,24,24,24,48,24BBCBBBBBBCCB24,889ABCBBCBBBBBBCCBDABCBB48,4000

The above code took about 6 attempts for iLearn to get.
It just does not seem to read the entire code, so I have to wait till I see 4 lines of captured code, then change ilearn line value to 3, which selects all the code in blue, then it will play back.

another update:

The iTach blaster is OK.  It would appear that iTach has severe issues with Sony equipment, which of course is what I have.
(grin)

I have two devices that can not learn Sony codes..  my new Amulet remote, and my WiFi iTach.
EVERY other learning remote I have, even ridiculously cheap ones, can learn my Sony gear, but Amulet and iTach.... forget it.
Apparently Sony send the codes in 3 quick bursts, so devices like Amulet and itach can not even read the complete code.

I will have to see if I can find the raw codes for my Sony devices, and hopefully past the codes into the map editor manually.

Thankyou for that information.
I think I have discovered the issue.

It would appear that the supplied blaster that came with the iTach is defective.
Kinda annoying, as it has never been used, and I purchased this device about a year ago,.

I plugged the blaster from my Microsoft eHome receiver into the itach, and learned a code with the iLearn app, and then tested the code.
It worked. Have not tried it with voxcommando yet, but I suspect it will now work.

Update:

Tried to learn buttons for my stereo, beginning with Volume Up.

I deleted all the saved map tables, pressed save, and now the codes are being saved in the map table.
I use the 'test that button' and I see the 3rd led of my itach light up, but nothing happens on my AV Receiver.
My blaster is connected to port3 of iTach.

I notice on the video that James did, that the Map Table has name of GC_Stereo,  where mine is uu_Stereo.
Is that important?.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / iTach learn payloadXML and map editor issue.

« on: February 20, 2014, 02:43:50 AM »

Hello,   I have been trying to reciprocate the video tutorial that James did, about using voxcommando to learn and test IR commands with a Global Cache WiFi2IR.
I seem to be mostly there, and have imported the iTach payloadxml, and edited the action with the ip address of my itach.
It seems to be connecting to my itach according to vox history.

I can issue the voice commands to create a new map table for device ir codes, and then can learn the particular ir code, and vox responds with successfully learned code response.
However, I seem to not end up with anything in the map table.

What am I doing wrong?.

VoxWav Free and VoxWav Pro / Re: Voxwav 2.5 TTS issue with Android 4.3

« on: February 07, 2014, 02:56:34 AM »

Affirmative to all three.
Running no custom commands, just testing with default XBMC configuration from VoxCommando wizard install.

Active plugins:   Audio Endpoint,  TCPmic, XJson, Xsql.   Voxcommando version 1.1.8.5

From Voxwav, I say  'open xbmc'  it opens, and voxwav displays OSD of the command.
Likewise for other commands.
Alternates are also listed, and also phrases.

TTS option turned on while above is going on.  No TTS audio at all.
No errors about TTS.

Apart from no TTS audio, voxwav seems to be working ok.

Does one need any other plugins or settings configured in VoxCommando to utilise TTS in voxwav?.
I definately remember getting voice confirmation message when selecting TTS On in voxwav on previous firmware.

Thankyou very much for that information. (really appreciated!)

I have found the same deal you speak of, on the Pearl site, tho Google Translate is not good enough to get me thru the checkout process, and freaks out, so am kinda surfing blind.
(heck knows what I might end up buying) (grin)

I managed to find an email adress for order enquiries, so hopefully they can help me out.

Thanks for your videos on youtube, and your comments here.
If I get no reply from Pearl, I might need to contract you in to translate/broker a sales inquiry for me.

I have been perusing the Omate forums, and there seems to be a lot of unhappy customers, with horror stories like buttons falling off after an hour, and stuff like that.
Kinda scary stuff, when customers have issues, and seemingly get no support.

Thanks for the info about the Pearl AW-414. I am not in Europe, but downunder in New Zealand, so in Euro, the Pearl is round the same price as the Omate watch.
My only concern being that I am an english language only user, so can the Pearl AW-414 be configured and used for my locale and language, and can I use regular Google Play english store, or is it locked to German Play store.
(For obvious reasons, this would be a major problem gor me)

Thanks in advance..

I downloaded both of those apps, and the default TTS  Google voices, and Ivona voices seem to work just fine on my Xperia Tablet Z.

VoxWav Free and VoxWav Pro / Voxwav 2.5 TTS issue with Android 4.3

« on: February 04, 2014, 06:20:46 AM »

Hello, recently I read posting on this forum, about a user who upgraded to KitKat, and discovered that TTS in Voxwav no longer worked.
Well, the same issue has just happened to me, after applying Jellybean 4.3 OTA update to my Sony Xperia Tablet Z. (Model SGP312)

Basically I get zero, zilch, nada TTS in Voxwav 2.5...   Voxwav 2.5 and TTS worked just fine with previous firmware. (4.2.x).
I even tried nuking everything and reset to factory 4.3 config,  with fresh install of all apps, but still no TTS in voxwav 2.5.

TTS works everywhere 'except' in voxwav, so stuffed if I know whats going on.
Using standard Google TTS, but have also tried Ivona.   Both work fine and can hear the samples perfect in Android settings,  but get no TTS at all in Voxwav itself.

Open to suggestions here, as I do not think the issue is one of configuration with my tablet, there seems to be a compatibility issue with 4.3 and above firmware with Voxwav.
I do seem to be getting an error within Voxwav, after manually selecting TTS to on. After several seconds something flashes up about can not initialise TTS.
(Sorry, comes up too fast to read)

As mentioned, TTS in other apps I have tried do seem to work, so am rather perplexed as to why TTS no longer works with voxwav.
