Introducing Version 2.

Please read the information on the wiki before getting started with version 2 for the first time:
http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Version_2

It includes an installation video at the bottom of the page.



As always thanks to everyone for your support!

Thanks James, I will test now, one question only:

I try use amulet USB for vox on/off, and I think it´s no more work, or need extra step/configuration now?

PS: Event amulet is ok, only don´t change interface color red for green and vice versa

Thanks, for include pt-br language in install, perfect.

Question: It´s necessary create new profile voice now in Portuguese (Brazil), or with this new engine SP it´s no more necessary?

[jitterjames]

Amulet events should work exactly the same as before.  They do for me.  Maybe the configuration you are using does not have the events assigned to the on and off commands.

There is no need for a profile if you are using the SP version.  It uses a default profile for the installed engine language which cannot be trained.

Here are the two videos introducing VC2 alpha.

The first video is general installation and upgrade notes if you want to upgrade a custom configuration

The second video talks about the new speech engine and how to install it.

I did a clean install of this version.  I am not sure if this is a bug. It is not just automatically finding the activation key.

[jitterjames]

It is not a bug.  For users with a version 1 license you must upgrade, to use VC2, or run it in trial mode.

I have just uploaded a new alpha version for VC2.  The link is in the first post of this thread http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1443.msg12499#msg12499

This is the latest version now: 1.919

Here are some notes on new features / changes: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Version_2:_Features

[jitterjames]

I have updated the VC2 alpha to version 1.9.2.1 and you can get it at the top of this thread:
http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1443.msg12499#msg12499

The latest changes include (but are probably not limited to):

- The installer should detect if Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) is missing, and if so, offer to download and install it.  I only recently discovered that this is required for SQLite (which is used with maps and xSQL plugin).  On most systems this is already installed because so many other programs (like XMBC) use it.

- Big improvements to copy paste of macro elements within the LCB window.

- VC will automatically add 24 hours to VC.SetEventTimer when a time before "now" is specified

- VC.SetSpeechInput will only search "active" microphones.  Please test this and let me know how it is working for you!  You can still choose to use substrings of either the "caption" (friendly name which you can set in properites) or the device name, and it is not case sensitive.  It is up to you to avoid ambiguous names like "microphone" which could refer to more than one device.

- The xJson plugin allows user to specify the TCP port used for notifications from XBMC in the plugin settings.

[jitterjames]

Also,

- Updated the weather underground plugin to include astronomy variables for sunrise/sunset etc.

- Added option to not execute command when more than X alternates exist. (see the "General" options tab)

- A small fix to the OSD.AddText which was messing up the time that the original OSD message would stay on the screen.

Great Job James 

The VC.SetSpeechInput works.

[garryjw]

 Thanks James VC.SetSpeechInput working for me as well - you'll be able to take my newly posted piece out of the wiki :-)

Link above updated to version 1.9.2.2

Bug fixes:
- Logging when not selected
- LCB dragNdrop
- Action parameters containing only spaces not loading correctly from xml.

I just uploaded version 1.9.3.1.

Please go to the first post in this thread to download it.

BIG BUG in 1.9.3.2

I think I made a mistake in 1.9.3.2 that could be pretty confusing for some people.  When you update the phrases for a command in an existing group and then save, the group is not being correctly rebuilt, and you have to do a purge cache!

I'm not sure what the best solution is for this at the moment because I am in the middle of some other massive changes, but I just wanted to let you know in case you noticed some odd behaviour when editing your phrases.

I will follow up soon with more info.  If you are not using the SP version, then reverting back to 1.9.3.1 is probably your best solution for now.

If you are using SP then you either need to purge your cache after making changes to your phrases or you need to revert back 1.9.2.2

Thank you for pointing this out, I thought I was experiencing this but hadn't gotten around to vet if this was a bug!
