Testing 2.2.1.6 beta with two Kinects connected. Does VoxCommando prevent multiple instances even if run from separate folders? I can't start the second one. I can however switch active Kinect through new combo box and confirm that it is listening to a different Kinect after the change.

You need to add a command line parameter -New to run multiple instances

TIPS: POST VC VERSION #. Explain what you want VC to do. Say what you've tried & what happened, or post a video demo. Attach VC log. Link to instructions followed.  Post your command (xml)

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Dual Kinect setup confirmed working! Thank you for the modification!

And as a reminder for everyone who stumbles here, you need each Kinect connected to a separate USB Bus (which is not the same as port). As it turned out, my NUC had only one USB Bus (and 3 ports), so I had to replace its inner wifi card with a miniPCI Express USB 3.0 controller. Even then, trying to plug in second Kinect (to whichever bus) would result in its disconnection/connection every few seconds. Plugging it through a USB Hub somehow magically solved the problem.

I was unable to do some testing, as I can not locate the second power supply of the second Kinect :(
When Voice command gets tough, use hand gestures
