Kalle reported two different versions, .969 and .984 that work with FRODO... Which one is the RIGHT one..

I'm assuming (which I hate to do) that .969 is the newest version that you're putting up today?

thanks

Oh yes, James, I'm sure the tagging is ALL messed up, it's a hodge podge of various collections from over the years.

I'm looking at a utility called Tuneup that appears to be able to fix my tags issues... it's here :    http://www.tuneupmedia.com/

think I'll run that before I redo XBMC FRODO

Hey. thanks for all the great tips everyone!

So here's what's happened since I last posted...

I uninstalled frodo and dropped in eden 11.0 and then used the Noli_Soco_So Entertainment Injection to set it up, that sure was a painless install, let me tell you!

Cost me $25 bucks, but I like the fact that I can back all my setup up now and then load them back in. Unfortunately it seems to be using Eden only, I'll try it later and report back with Frodo.

I was using XBMCHUB's wizard before that on Frodo.



So now VC's working slightly better... at least the XML part is grabbing my movies and tv shows.

But I have about 3/4 of a terabyte of mp3's and it doesn't grab any of those.

I'm also having an issue with it recognizing my voice commands.  I've ran thru the extended training on MS speech 8.0, but it's like I can see VC listening to me, it seems to get the main command and then fail on the file names.


I'd be willing to read the thing a Harry Potter book if it'd just recognize me better... I with it had "extended-extended Training"...


Does MS speech need to be running (the small floating app that says 'Listening')  when Voxcommander is running?

I'm tempted to get the Frodo RC3 again and try that with the .969 version.

also, when I'm asking it to move around in menus, I say "Move up 2" and the command reccognizes "move up 2" but it's moving a random amount over that, 3, sometimes 4, etc.

Is this because I have event player installed or because I have MS speech's app up also?

Also, changing volume settings is acting strange.   I seem to be able to move volume down, but can't get it to go back up... Strange.  It works so well in the youtube videos!


I'll uninstall it, and try-try-try again...


Eventually I'm gonna get this XBMC box straightened out, then I'm gonna ghost it so if it breaks I can go back to a working box.

I've been working on this system for weeks now. I'm sick of installing/uninstalling programs. I just want it to work.   


But again, thanks for the help, and you'll be seeing my questions a lot probably!

Hi guys...

Being a complete novice to programming, and also to VoxCommando,  I thought it might be handy to have a place where we can discuss the basic setup of XBMC FRODO and VoxCommando.

I can't seem to get VoxCommando to work very well with frodo.  I'm almost ready to Deinstall Frodo and go back to Eden so I can have something like what I see in the Youtube videos.


Here's what I've got so far...


Installed Frodo via XBMCHUB with the wizard.

Installed VoxCommando v 968 and the extras

I wasn't sure where to install the extras, I put them in the Addons directory under VoxCommando

I selected XBMC when Voxcommando asked me which plugin to default to.

Installed EventGhost.   Not even really sure I need this...


I went into the options in VoxCommando and set up the XBMC name, password, etc, all to defaults with port 8080.

fired up XBMC and set up the same server info there...

What about UDPD?  I enabled it because alot of the videos I've seen see to show you guys with it enabled...

VoxCommando is running on the same PC as XBMC, so server address is set to 127.0.0.1

I have udpd enabled in my router also.

My local firewall is off, and I even disabled my virus check (AVG) temporarily...

When I try to getXML, I'm choosing frodo...

I click the button and I immediately get a 404 server not found error.

I double checked that my firewall is off.

I seem to be able to do some basic navigation in the menus of XBMC via VoxCommando, but I'm not sure if it's MS SPEECH doing it or VC....

I found your VoxComm 1.3 file, installed it, enabled the plugin, shut everything off then booted it back up, but I still have the same results...

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if functionality of VoxCommando on Frodo just isn't right yet...

Any help would be great!

Update:

I've played in the firewall settings some more, Still can't get it to work.  I completely turned windows firewall off, still nothing....





Oh, and I do plan to purchase, James.... I'm just waiting to get it working...
