EventGhost / Re: Issue with VC not loading grammar generated by MediaMonkey

Yep, sorry I didn't chime in earlier.  I think the song/songtitle bug was cause by me messing around in eventghost, not sure though.  It's amazing how fast VC (still) is with all this grammar I'm stuffing into it.

That fixed it.  Artist and Album works fine, song gives me a sql error.  I'm gonna poke around the eventghost VC thread to look if this was already addressed in the meantime.   The error I see.  Very stoked about getting this thing into my car.  I changed my mind about XBMC and MM because MM looked to have way more command possibilities, but the bonus that I didn't realize was that it supported playback through winamp.  So I get to keep my RideRunner playback functions.

EventGhost / Issue with VC not loading grammar generated by MediaMonkey

I am so stumped, here is the log file.

http://mir.cr/0XUVQGC3 here is a zip of the VC directory without the exe's
I tried both version 796 and 794.  I'm glad I could narrow it down to artists.xml but I think I need further assistance to fix my prob.  I'm going to try messing with MM to get working grammar files but I think I need to get outside, I'm getting sick of looking at my monitor

I was wondering why VC wasn't taking my artist commands after I removed the custom commands I made not realizing there was phrase fields in the event ghost options tab.

oh I didn't know there was an attach button right here

I'm using VC 0.794, not sure if its the beta in the link.
I just loaded VC with the same music library but on my gaming rig AMD quad core and it loaded at about 30 seconds.  No biggie on my nettop now that all I have to do is cycle VC off and on.
I had previously wrote some VC commands to scroll through RideRunners playlist to navigate but scrapped the whole thing because VC already had nice support for artist grammar in XBMC.  I'm such a fan for quick and dirty or lazy routes, I just decided to not use the music in RR.  I imagine it would take too much effort to get winamp support in VC to the level that XBMC already is.
I may use Media Monkey over XBMC, but it was way quicker to get XBMC and VC working properly.  Either way I probably will use which ever music app VC has the most features for out of the box or whichever app is the most flexible.
Oh before I click post. RR does support external apps, such as iguidance the gps software being resized and having it look like part of RR, but aesthetics is probably the last thing I have to work on.  At the time of writing this I control my music in the car with a ebay usb playstation joypad, absolutely horrible for scrolling.

Just verified, YES cycling VC off then back on fixed it.. I feel foolish for not trying that.  I am using the XBMC tab in options and everything is working as advertised again.  My carputer setup is a 8" xenarc touchscreen with a Acer Aspire Revo nettop Atom 330 with a dc to dc psu from mp3car.com store.  I definitely will put videos up when my project is done, probably before that when I get more voice commands set up.  Right now it is using the Ride Runner front-end to handle music, vid, gps (here's a vid of some guy demoing it)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AuUBocUJlo
For the time being I will have to make ride runner defer to xbmc for vid and music even tho it uses winamp and media player classic by default. 
I plan on dicing up a used logitech branded usb mic that came with the PS2 game socom and mounting it near my sunvisor.  I noticed it was very sensitive and using it for VC testing it works well.  I whipped up a quick autohotkey script to mute the master volume by half and unmute the microphone while a joypad button was held down.  So as long as I keep the windows up on the freeway it should work fine.

I like that idea of a repository of user generated groups/presets, I think it would be popular

Beautiful program btw.  I'm using Vox Commando with XBMC because I love the play artist/album feature.  It is for a carputer btw, so when I turn the car off the PC goes into hibernation to save the battery.  The only issue that I have to deal with is when I come back from hibernation VC seems to lose its connection to the microphone.  Normally restarting VC wouldn't be a problem except that turning on the XBMC artist/album grammar feature for my 30+gb library of music takes nearly 10 minutes to restart VC.  It's got me stumped, is there any plans to export grammar from VC to a file and allow it to start earlier? Or is it putting all the grammar into memory?  Thank you jitterjames for the terrific FREE program.  Oh, you should make a wiki for VC http://www.wikia.com/Wikia  I would gladly contribute, It'd be a good place for helping people with documenting each tiny command possible with VC.
