Now that Vox supports MB3, will I be able to use WMC in conjuction with MB3 voice commands ?
Will there be a conflict ?

I am running WMC with the Media Brower 3 WMC plugin ( running from MB3 server ) and i would like to voice control both WMC and the MB3 plugin.

I don't think "conflict" is the right word.  It should be possible to create a configuration of commands that will work well for both.  I suggest you start by creating a new install (in a new empty folder) just for testing the default MB3 configuration that we provide by itself.  There may be some command overlap such as navigation, play/pause, volume etc. In that case it obviously makes more sense to keep those WMC commands (and remove the corresponding MB3 commands) since the WMC commands should (in theory) work everywhere, while the MB3 commands would only work when MBC is active.

It is still early days and we're trying to get the core API client stuff sorted out first and there are a ton of MB clients so if you want a mixed configuration you are essentially on your own for now.

James,
Thanks for the quick response.. If U do not mind, i am going to post my question + response on the MB3 forums.. I am sure I am not the only one that is wondering.

Hopefully in the next 2 or 3 weeks I will give all of this a shot and will be able to report on my experience.

Thanks
Tester
