Thread: RRVoiceControl-Beta Complete: Check Released Plugins Section

i would think a very steep attenuation in the music would work well. bring the volume down to a point where it can barely be heard... i honestly think pausing the music for those couple seconds might be a little weird, although i havent tried any of it yet so im just throwing out opinions.

I'd rather have it pause it as to not miss the music. That and i have WA set to do a soft return from a pause.

Me too. I also use the GPS volume and so the volume never goes to zero.

WOW! All I can say at this point is WOW! That should also significantly increase the speed of the entire thing, as no Send Message commands at all will be needed. Very Nice!

Jebus, I cant imagine how much better the next version is going to be!

I have been working with it, and tightly incorporating it into the DigitalFX skin a LOT for the past couple of days. Just with voice you can play any artist, song (I have just over 30,000 songs in my collection, and the way you broke down the VR into groups loaded at any given time, it is like 99% accurate!), change virtual disks, bring up system information, change color themes, display lyrics and information for the currently playing song, turn on and off the visualizations, change what is displayed in the center of the main menu from album art, flash logo, 3D logo, Zoom in and out of weather maps, GPS maps...... and on and on... ALL BY VOICE!

then there is the voice feedback when you ask the system "What is the weather forecast", "What time is it", "What is the date today"......

I have just about all of the main screens done, so you can simply say what the label is on any of the buttons throughout the skin.

This is simply fracking amazing!

R U done now...John???

It like a kid with a new toy...

Well, I just hope I didn't break anything!

RRYoiceControl.exe is now RRVoice.dll...

It is so fast giving the commands to RR now, with my 1150 song list, that it is missing a couple of return GetInfo's from RR on list loads. I am working on this timing issue. Not a biggie...

By the way, for any of you VB6 coders out there, I have found a great MS way to perform a "DELAY" in a Sub or Function Without stalling an Application, like the sleep API or a timer. Now before you groan with displeasure, Blue, check this module out first.
It uses the internal WaitableTimer in the Kernel32....
The use is "Wait x" where x is seconds.....
It is referenced Here

Now before you groan with displeasure, Blue,

The only thing I'm groaning with displeasure is when I use this and have my wave line constantly set to 100%....

I certainly cant speak bout all/any coders, but my delays usually consist of lines like so...
which also accounts for ~100% of the coded delays in RR's code.

t=Timer
Do While t < (t + <time to wait>)
DoEvents ' <-- allows for a tight loop w/o completely tying up the cpu on our app
If timer<t Then t=Timer
Loop

And...doesn't require all the extra's when needing something simple.


Speaking of timers...

Code:

Do While
  GetStatus RRVoiceNewRelease
  if RRVoiceNewRelease = true then 
     Download
  End If
  if RRVoiceNewRelease = False then
     sleep (60000)
  End If
Wend

The only thing I'm groaning with displeasure is when I use this and have my wave line constantly set to 100%....

What do you mean by "this", RRVoiceControl or the CreateWaitTable module?
This wait module is the best I have ever found, to create wait states, without affecting the execution of other events in an application. It's MS's preferred way of doing this. It puts the wait state in a Que in the kernel, allowing for any other event notices to be processed. It works very well.
Any other way uses too many CPU cycles, and/or causes other events to be missed, even with a DOEVENTS statement. Timers and the sleep API suck.

If it is RRVoiceControl then, I don't have enough info from you, Debug, Version, ect.. to help.

You will get a new beta to play with soon, I just made major changes. I won't release anything till I'm happy with it.

By the way when are we gonna see RMMedia updated?
