Yeh... that's what i was changing the spelling on the playlist thinking caps might be affecting it...

That last command isn't working for me for some reason... VC understands me but XBMC isn't participating.. iIve tried different variations of caps and gaps in the naming of Five Star in XBMC hoping it was a simple miscommunication between the two but that hasn't worked and now my technical ability has ran it's course...

Thankyou very much, slowly my set up is coming along nicely, I've been trying to create a command for my 5 star playlist, i have XJSON.SmartPL, do i just write the name of my playlist in the next box? I can't seem to get it to work...

First of all I am sorry if this has been covered but I can't find a thread on this, Not only am I new to VC I am also trying to get to grips with XBMC also. I used to use itunes and i 5 star'ed my favourite songs that went into my cleverly named 5 star playlist! i have found the command "play hits by" works really well on the songs i have rated in XBMC but was wondering if there is a command to rate songs that are playing, rather than doing it manually? for example if music is playing in party mode and i like a particular song could I then say "computer rate this song" which could then be then used in the "play hits by..." playlist and an overall 5 star playlist?

Has anyone seen this? Looks like a good piece of kit if it does what it says on the tin

Could be interesting to combine hand gestures with voice recognition maybe?

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Re: Multiple mics via multiple sound cards

it's not very big at all as size matters where i live! I'm not too sure though to be honest? there are separate gains for each channel but a master mix and a master level for over all. Not until i have some fun with a second mic will i know for sure, the plan is to have a second tv and a second mic placed in the bedroom, both tv's and mics running into the same system... not got that far yet though

I have a dual channel usb preamp that my Mic is connected to, in hopes that I can have 2 mics working simultaneously... This is still only a theory at the moment as I don't have a secont mic to test.. but it's a good bit of kit even with one mic.

the idletimeout is there but still doesn't work, the XBMC softnute/unmute didn't work for me either, but the XJson.softmute/unmute does but again only if i tell the computer to ignore me. not sure if this is the correct way to go? It's probably one simple step I am missing but i have voxcommando blindness now and can't seem to find it? thanks xxx

Hey I've been reading this forum for a bit but I am new to posting, a while ago I Managed to break my set up and went by using my phone instead using various apps and remotes. but I missed Poppy (i live on a narrowboat called Poppy and thought it was fitting to call my computer this aswell) Any way I decided to try again from the beginning and have got stuck on what you guys will see as the easiest of problems! I have Poppy Soft muting XBMC when in listening command, only when i say don't listen the music returns to its previous volume! If i leave it to idle time out (around 11 seconds) the music remains soft muted?
