Thank you so much!, that was exactly the option I was looking for - feel a bit silly now for not realising to use a custom payload in the command builder lol.

I run a MySQL database for xbmc instead on my setup, so I can just use phpmyadmin to grab the info I need and create the custom payload

I will take a look at it when I get home from work tonight - (I would do it now but it's 5:50am and I am already on the train to work **sigh** )

Managed to find the xml - so far the only 3 additions I have done are the following

1) A script that you can ask for the shortplot of the movie
2) A script that you can ask who directs the movie
3) A script that you ask who plays a specific character (this is the one that I need to have a 'characters' or 'roles' xml for exported from my database so that vox picks up on them better

General Discussion / Just discovered voxcommando - very impressed..however...

Hi all,

I just started using the trial version of voxcommando - and I am very very close to purchasing a license, as it 'almost' does everything I want - however before I did I had a couple of questions / requests that one of you could hopefully help me out with.

I played around with the code builder and wrote a script that would when watching a movie - if I said "who plays Thor" it would query xbmc's database and return the name of the actor who plays him and via TTS say it aloud - my only problem is that the GenXML does not add actorroles table from the databases - just actor names.

Is there a way I can manually add this? I would love to setup a 'trivia' script of sorts based on my movie and tv show library - this would be a nice addition to my home cinema and would give a really neat effect to my media centre .

The other quick question I had was, can someone recommend a relatively cheap omnidirectional microphone? At the moment during testing I am using a headset and that works great but it would be nice to have something that I can just rest on top of the tv and be done with it. Would a Kinect do the job?

I am happy to share the script I wrote in the code builder, as soon as someone can tell me how I can export to xml to post .

So far the way it works is its gets the movie name from xbmc.send currentlyplaying - then uses that name to query the database and gets the movieid from that, then it runs a query that returns the actor name for the movieid currently playing AND the payload string - which if I can get roles added to the database would be fairly accurate.

It works great at the moment when I test it and type in the payload string - it just does not seem to ever recognise the payload string when I say it - eg Loki, or Thor characters in the movie Thor always comes up with something different - like the number 4.

Thanks for reading this
