MB Classic

[lja]

Challenge: MB Classic has the Home Screen/browse movies brings up the list of movies/ play movie goes directly to the movie and does not play the intro. To play the intro it is necessary to go to the details screen(the next screen) which has a play button. Clicking on the play button will play the intro and then the movie.

On the MB3 forum
From jitterjames" you should be able to set up a voice command to do this very easily.  Just modify the find movie command and add an action to press select after a second or two of delay."

I have attempted to follow the above but believe I am not doing it correctly. Here is one of the approaches I have used:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.1.3.8-->
<command id="1179" name="Find/Play/Resume movie {1}" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
  <if ifBlockDisabled="False" ifNot="False">
    <ifType>(A)Contains(B)</ifType>
    <ifParams>Display, Find&amp;&amp;{1}</ifParams>
    <then>
      <action>
        <cmdType>TTS.Speak</cmdType>
        <params>
          <param>Navigating to {PF.2}</param>
        </params>

    <else />
  </if>
  <if ifBlockDisabled="False" ifNot="False">

  <phrase>movie</phrase>
  <payloadFromXML phraseOnly="False" use2partPhrase="False" phraseConnector="by" Phrase2wildcard="anyone" optional="False">MB3Payloads\Movies.xml</payloadFromXML>
</command>
Any help is appreciated. Please be gentle.

Getting there.

In the group named "General Commands" there is already a select command.  Look at the macro for that command to see how to press select.  All you need to do is add the same action (after a pause if required) to the find movie command so that it will play it after it finds it.

The actions for find movie are in the first logic block.

Don't add additional actions at the end of the macro.

Thanks for your response. I know you indicated it was simple, however it seems I am still missing something. I have added the select command similar to that under "General Commands"to the find movie command as shown hereunder:

Yes, you're on the right track. However, you've written "select" (lowercase) rather than copying and pasting "Select" from the example command. 

MediaBrowser's general commands appear to be case sensitive.

I would also recommend starting with a much shorter pause than what you're currently using (or even trying without a pause at all at first), and then try making the pause longer if your MB Classic client seems to be responding too slowly.
