myVoice Open Beta (4 Viewers)

Is it possible to switch off the xml generation for songs. i've got about 50000 songs and loading MP takes a long time. I'd just like to use artist and album names

Currently you can't do that, but I'll look at adding those options in a future release. I posted (post #165) a test release that improved the loading times quite a bit. Give that one a try to see if the results are more acceptable in the meantime.
Also, myVoice doesn't do albums. The tags I've seen for albums were terrible, so I dropped the functionality from the release. I'll add the functionality back, hopefully in the next release, but I'm not sure how good the results will be. Thanks for the feedback.

Make sure you select the my Voice Process plugin for the configuration. There isn't any configuration for the window plugin portion.

i copied the files to the folder like u write it in the help file.

Scroll down through the plug in icons until you get to the Process Plugins. You should see myVoiceProcess as one of the first icons. That's the one to right click and configure.

If you don't see that, then recheck your install:

MediaPortal (root):
Interop.SpeechLib.dll
myVoice.dll

Plugins\Process:
myVoiceProcess.dll
myVoiceSettings.xml

Plugins\Process\myVoice\default:
myVoiceMap.xml

Plugins\Windows:
myVoiceWindow.dll

The myVoiceProcess.dll in the Plugins\Process subdir is the one I'd think you want to make sure is there. Should be 48K (mine is dated April 19th, 2007, 7:29pm).

I love this plugin, it's funny, when it was first made, there was a little bit of interest, thn every few months more people find it and realise how great it is.

I think because it is such a simple (in an elegant way not a bad way) plugin, pople don't realise it's full potential until they actually tak the time to install and use it.

Excellent work

(I know I've said that before)

Yes, I am patiently (anxiously ... ) waiting for a release that will work with 0.2.3.0RC1 - I would love to try it out and use it - sounds very intriguing ...

 

[Bertuz]

Isn't it compatle with 0.2.3? Then it's that reason I can't get it working.

Well, I am not sure now - I read a post by booyakasha earlier that said:-

"Please note: There seems to be an incompatibility between more recent SVN builds and this plugin. I'm researching the issue(s)."


But that post has since been deleted, so maybe the current release should work OK with 0.2.3.0RC1 ....

 

[booyakasha]

Hey all,

I'm currently running it on .2.3RC1 on my dev box. I haven't seen anything that doesn't work yet.


Taipan: Yeah, sorry about that post. A set of cirumstances led me to believe it didn't work, but it ended up being unrelated to the SVN's, so I removed it as another user had the same question.

There is a problem though when the tags begin or end with numeric info. It seems the speech engine doesn't like it. Currently, you'll get an error like "Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program". I'm currently working on a set of options to adjust the way it parses and translates the tags. In the meantime this replacement dll parses the beginning and end for numeric data and converts it to text.

Bertuz: What problems are you having? If you can post your myvoice log file, I may be able to direct you to a solution.

Glad you're still liking it Marcusb. You've been using it from the beginning, so you've really seen the changes over the last year from simple navigation to what it's slowly becoming: a nice supplement to the remote. I'm not sure it will ever completely replace the remote, but that's basically my goal. Not that there's anything wrong with a remote of course...lol
