Version 0.86

[jitterjames]

try this now.

- The launch command might run xbmc better now... (I can't test since I don't have the problem)
- The launch command should run a batch file now if you put it in the xbmc folder.

running the batch from the regular launch command will leave a cmd window open until you exit xbmc

- If you use the new launch.batch command it will hide this window

I also included a sample command to read your rss  cinema info.  It's not perfect but it is a start I guess...

fingers crossed.

Attachments removed... there is a newer version

Thanks James, work fine by batch, well done...no more errors

Obrigado...

Meu objetivo no RSS seria ouviar as notícias, via TTS, mas estamos a um passo deste objetivo..

[jitterjames]

Yay!  I just wish I knew why you were having this problem in the first place.

btw look in options menu for new xbmc osd settings if you didn't already notice them.

Just change the OSD command to TTS.  I was using OSD for testing...

[Wanilton]

Yes i look the news options OSD in XBMC, great ...the patch to skin, its ok too...

Meus comentários agora em PT BR

Vou testar o RSS, em OSD funcionou perfeitamente, creio que não terei dificuldades em adaptar para TTS.

Quanto ao erro que estava tendo na skin AEON MQ-2 quando iniciado pelo vox, não consigo nem sequer imaginar a causa, mas o importante é que esta
resolvido agora.

Sugestão:
Penso que todas as mensagens de OSD deveriam ser apresentadas no mesmo local onde sao apresentados os comandos alternativos, fica melhor em minha
opinião, mais bem apresentável.

Yes, maybe eventually I will make a tab just for OSD.  For now I did not want to add more to the main options tab because there is already too much stuff on one tab.

Hello James,

Adaptei e funcionou perfeitamente, pena as palavras em português terem acentos, isto prejudica a leitura, penso que para ouvir notícias através do recurso  RSS em inglês ficará muito legal.

Pergunta, existe alguma maneira de eliminar caracteres especiais das notícias do RSS, como acentos agudos (´), circunflexos{^),til{~} e outros para melhorar a leitura...?  outra pergunta, entre uma notícia e outra existe um espaçamento em branco no RSS, como eu posso segurar por uns segundos a leitura entre estes blocos de  notícias, o CR não auxilia muito neste caso.

Quanto ao erro que estava tendo na skin AEON MQ-2 quando iniciado pelo vox, não consigo nem sequer imaginar a causa, mas o importante é que esta
resolvido agora.

thanks again,

Wanilton

I don't think there is a way to remove the accents.  I actually had to modify the code to recognize the accents, before they were coming out as a mess.  I am surprised that the Spanish TTS voice cannot read the accents.  Is it because it is specific to Portuguese?

To add a pause to TTS add a comma , for a short pause
add a period . for a longer pause.

Does the new launch command fix your problem because the batch file works, or can you actually launch xbmc directly now with no problems?

[Wanilton]

James,

As duas maneiras agora estão ok para mim, testei a pouco novamente, não deu mais erro, tanto usando o comando launch no xbmc.exe como usando o comando Launch via patch para rodar o XBMC.

A dica da pausa funcionou corretamente.

Quanto aos acentos, esta ok para a maioria, mas alguns ficam estranhos como quando encontra no texto as seguintes situações  entre aspas " ", dois pontos : , parêntese (), mas não é nada grave,
estou satisfeito com o resultado..

[jitterjames]

I think maybe now the launch command is much better, so thank-you for getting me to fix it!  I am very happy to hear that you can launch xbmc.exe directly without problems.

I am not 100% sure, but I think the problem was that the "start in" directory was staying as the VC directory instead of being the directory where the xbmc.exe file or batch file was.

It is similar to how a shortcut works.  I had to set the "start in" by 2 extra lines of code.  I had assumed that it would set this by default.  I still don't know why it only caused problems for you.  It might have something to do with the way Marcos used paths for this background images?  Maybe I did not have problems because I was using custom folders for my fanart.

I am hoping this will load better with less errors.  If I can get it to load reliably for all types of command trees, then I will work more on speed.

Also there is a big surprise waiting for you in the command builder!

[Wanilton]

Cool, very well...yes it more fast now...

[jitterjames]

more importantly:

no errors, I hope!

[Wanilton]

Yes, no more errors...very good.

[jitterjames]

I will be driving all day tomorrow (12 hours - yuck) so I won't be able to check the forum until tomorrow night.

Hey All,

I've got some new stuff coming soon that is kind of interesting, but of course things are bit crazy at this time of year.
