Firstly - great development. Had a good laugh running this + kinect at the same time on xbmc.
Would it be possible to send the list options back to XBMC? I am using XBMC live (as many might be) on a dedicated htpc running linux with voxCommando running off a laptop; ideally the multiple options would be sent to the xbmc session so it appears on the television rather than a laptop that is not the focus of attention.
In my ideal model I would have the program running on linux on the htpc, short of someone developing that it would run headless off my windows server with all necessary inputs going to the htpc.

Hello, it´s ok for me, one guide for you
Instructions: (You need to configure both programs so that VoxCommando can communicate with XBMC)
Configure XBMC to accept commands:
- In XBMC, Go to SETTINGS >> NETWORK >> SERVICES
- put a check mark next to "Allow control of XBMC via HTTP"
- put check marks next to "Allow programs... to control XBMC"
- set the port to 8080
- set username, and password as desired (remember them)
- exit the settings menu but keep XBMC running. (alt-enter to exit fullscreen)
Configure VoxCommando to send commands to XBMC:
Unzip the Vox file that you downloaded above to a folder on your HD
Run VoxCommando.exe from this new folder
click OPTIONS, then go to the XBMC tab.
- enter your port username and password to match what you entered in XBMC ** DO NOT put checkmarks next to "create artist grammar" or "create album grammar"
- click "SAVE AND CLOSE" and go back to the main VoxCommando window.
click GENXML
a window will open. Click the "Generate All" button in the XBMC group (the one on the left).
you are done! Close this window and RESTART VoxCommando.
Note: you can click "Edit" on the main VoxCommando window to browse the command tree and see what commands are available.

Hey Wanilton and TomPixx am happy to be running voxcommando with no problems...all the commands are working correctly...is there a chance you can explain the process to adding or tweaking the commands..i don't know what to do and i don't want to screw up the settings since now i am finally able to run it smoothly...I have custom menus like "anime" and "animation" i even created custom menu/smart playlist for my tv shows and movies and disabled the original movies and tv shows menus because i only wanted to view my movies and not mixed them with my animation movies...same thing for tv shows it was mixing shows like trueblood with my anime shows so i created smartlist for everything to be in its own categories...so i would like to be able to say "browse anime" and it will take my anime...how can i achieve this? Please help. THank you for taking the time to read.
