Hi everyone

Below is a pic of the xbmc python script to control the features of VoxCommando.




Possible uses are as follows :
1. Launch applications from xbmc easily.
2. get the tts engine to speak.
3. Send Growl or other notifications.
4. Home Automation.
5. Enable and disable the microphone.
6.  etc.

I will release the script as soon as i have finished with it.

Questions, comments and your thoughts are always welcome.

Congratulations
I will like to test this. Thanks for all your effort.

Thanks mij.

I try your script yestarday, but i have some problems.
I am using xbmc Frodo, version Alpha 3.
I cant access the configurations settings and cant send any commands.
When i click in a button (like VC ON) the dialog open, i choose yes but nothing happnes.
I search in the log to see if there is a error to put here, but there is no message  about this issue.
Thanks man

Hi Clayton

There are some  configuration settings look at settings.xml

QuoteWhen i click in a button (like VC ON) the dialog open, i choose yes but nothing happnes.
I search in the log to see if there is a error to put here, but there is no message  about this issue.

try this :

1. edit default.py.
2. Search for     sock.sendto(command, ('<broadcast>', 33000))
3. Change to     sock.sendto(command, ('xxxxxxxxxxxx', 33000))

xxxxxxxxxxx = your ip address for pc where VoxCommando is installed.
e.g     sock.sendto(command, ('192.168.1.92', 33000))

4. Save default.py.
5. Run default.py.

Good luck.

Thanks Mij, i will try your suggestions.

I like the idea of beyond able to remotely completely turn off/on the mic possibly if needed, particularly since I'm running a remote VC. This does work on a remote VC right? From subsequent comments sounds like using UDP?
Hard to tell just from the screen shot, but Im sure i could think of more eventually:)

Hi

i also like being able to control voxcommando and being able to launch programs remotely.
It should work on a remote vc installation.
Yes, the script is using the udp protocol.

This is cool cause during some things or really noisy environments I think I may want to turn the VC mic off completely and if I could map that script to my remote button that'd be rather helpful.

Defiinately possible.

@vulcanjedi

If you want to try out the script PM me your email, if you like.

@vulcanjedi

you have email. let me know how you get on.
cheers.

Just to affirm, we just manually drop this on XBMC & execute @ the moment and don't 'install' it perse correct?
