Home Automation using EG, Xbox Kinect & USB-UIRT

Post by xzener »

Hello everyone,

I have a question. It seems that running TMT5 causes a program (running as a process) to stop responding. The program running in the background is used in conjunction with a Xbox Kinect and responds to voice commands. I have this all setup in a dedicated theater and runs very effectively, except if I use TMT5 to play a movie.

I can walk into my theater and say "Theater on". This turns on all AV equipment including my projector and also turns on the lights. I can also browse my movie collection and start a movie using just my voice. But, if I play a movie with TMT5, I am no longer able to control my HTPC with my voice. Its as if the TMT5 program causes the process to stop listening.

Is there any way I can enable the process to listen using Event Ghost??

Thanks,

Xzener

Eventghost can launch any program/command/process it's built in. But I don't think this response will help you...

From the very few informations you have provided, I suspect that TMT5 disables the "audio in" from the kinect, but I might be wrong.
