0879 - I'm tired so hopefully this is going to work!  I'll explain tomorrow about the new stuff but feel free to explore.

You can install from scratch, or you can patch with this (warning it will overwrite your bin.xml)

New features include new events, a german pandorabot, some bug fixes, and Skype!

Hi James, for first my congratulations for the really successful extensions. The new "help setting" is great.
Bug: A full installation to a new folder there is a problem. If you want to start VC it crashes immediately. If I is an update installation, no problems, everything works as far as I've tested it.

Kalle

Some other new stuff:

Look in options for the events tab.  Here you can define events that will appear in the main menu under Events.

Also there are new actions for controlling the overlay icon.  You can find these under OSD.

James,

Show, worked fine in the first moment, but happens one problem, and I even installing the vox in default, I'm still having problems....
Interestingly, to reopen the voxcommando, I received a loop that I believe is linked to the amulet, the history is showing a lot of repeated lines, vox&amuleton

Code: [Select]
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I discovered what it was, for some reason the problem just stopped, accepting the vox communication with skype, In skype I had to accept in that could communicate the problem to disappear in vox, now it´s ok again.
James, what is the correct way integrate new OSD overlay actions with Amulet?
I just want the overlay status to appear only in moments of triggered new commands, not getting in the off state as now.
Look the attached file, i changed command for overlay appears in top right, this is ok?

If I understand you correctly, you need to use

OSD.HideOverlay
OSD.ShowOverlay

the "correct" way will depend on what you want.  For me I like to leave OSD Overlay Icon on all the time.  It automatically fades to 30% when idle.

Thanks James, this is ok for me now...

About this:
Look in options for the events tab.  Here you can define events that will appear in the main menu under Events

I understand how this work, add 3 events, and added perfectly in menu Events,  but explain a little how this work, in my test, this run the event selected, ok fine, but i don´t understand
what purpose, if possible list one or two practical examples of use for this.

Thanks again,

Wanilton

You use it to trigger a command.

This could be useful for testing, to trigger a command you want to test, or maybe for a task that you do often.

You could create an event called refresh.  When this event is triggered, it will tell xbmc to rescan files, then do a GenXML, and then do a rebuild.

Maybe you won't find a use for it, and that is OK.  You don't need to use it.  Or maybe it will be useful for something later on...

Maybe it is just a waste of space...  Not all my ideas are good ones!

Here is an example for you.  You are editing the action that is performed when you lift the amulet remote.  This generates the event: Amulet.On

Maybe you do not want to keep lifting the remote while you are testing.  Instead, you can create the Amulet.On event in the menu, and it is easier to just click the event menu...  saves batteries too.

I Understand now, it´s a good idea James, thanks for this examples.

You have implemented many new things, and questions naturally arise, I prefer to ask because it may help others also understand the concept, however much you ask seemingly obvious things, not always for me it's clear what use should I do or how to make work in the best possible way, I know that obviously has no means to implement certain features or commands, and that mention "correct"may sound like there's only one way, but here the intention is to find the most efficient way, there is always a best way forward, although n possible routes.

Your program has enormous qualities, and flexibility is certainly one of them as a fan of your work, I congratulate you for being helpful and answering my questions, sometimes looking like a noob either.
