=About Media Browser=
Media Browser (<html><a href="http://mediabrowser.tv/" target="_blank">http://mediabrowser.tv/</a></html>) is a media center that brings together movies, music, television, photos, etc. Media is managed by a central server and can be accessed by a wide variety of clients. VoxCommando can control various clients by communicating with the Media Browser server.

See [[Plugin_MB3|Media Browser (MB3) Plugin]] for the list of available actions.

* Currently we can only officially support Dashboard, MBT, and MBC. However, we're trying to document what works in other clients as well.
* We will try to update the spreadsheet as we can, and may make it publicly editable in the future so that users can share their experiences.

=Installation=
NOTE: This page is still under development.

==Step-by-step instructions==
[[File:Mb3 plugin options.png|right|360px]]
# Make sure your MB3 server is running.
# Set up a normal local user account that has access to the MB3 server and have your credentials at hand.
# [[Installation|Install]] and then run VoxCommando.
# Choose the MB3 preset configuration.
# Make sure at least one client is running (e.g. Dashboard) and connected to your MB3 server.
# Open the MB3 plugin settings in VoxCommando under the Plugins tab.
# Enter your Media Browser username and password (if you have one), and click "Save Options".
# Click "Find servers".
# Expand the server tree in the plugin settings and click on the client you want VC to connect to. You should now be connected.
# Save options again.
# Click the "[[Installation#Gathering_Media_Information_.28GenXML.29|Generate XML]]" button to scan your Media Browser library.
# To see what pre-configured commands are available, ask VC "What can I say?", or tell it to "[[Main_Menu#Help|Show help]]".
# Have fun!

==Notes about the "preferred device" and "preferred client" settings in the MB3 plugin options==
In the plugin options you can edit the client and device names to make finding a client more flexible.
*You can specify client or device, or both, and you can use an exact name or a substring.
*On startup VC will connect to the first client that matches what you enter here.
*There is also an [[Logical_Command_Builder|action]] that allows you to switch or reconnect to clients without having to access the plugin options so you can use a voice command to switch the client you wish to control.
