Upgrade to WinXP and 4.0.15 woes! Help!!

[Todd Reed]

Okay, this is not so much fun...

I swapped computers, going from P3 WinME to P4 WinXP and I loaded v4.0.15 and know I have a mess!

X10
I see X10 commands in the logger, but the X10 events don't trigger actions??
Did something change from v4.0.14 to v4.0.15? New format for X10 event?

(EDIT - yes, I used to put "Lua:X10" events as "X10 B9:ON" and now it works with just "B9:ON")

Speak
My speak commands don't work now... When I manually test they work, but in a macro, they do not!?

GetWeather
Lua script is sparatic at best... seems to only work if I manually select it, but it is triggered by and X10 command, so see above...!

(EDIT - I fixed the X10 thing, so we'll see if that fixes this one as well!)

Help!!!!

These are all Mike's puppies. Will have to wait for his comments.

Actually the 4.0.15 download at the moment is pointing to Girder 5B download... this might be the reason stuff is not quite the same as before :-) Can you check your about box?

What else is in the macro?

[Todd Reed]

Ron, I will check tonight, but I am pretty sure it is 4.0.15...

Rob,

It is a macro to launch a Web streaming audio program

1) Ocelot - Send IR to select Aux Source on stereo (works fine)
2) Wait = 500ms ( to make sure "source" is set proper before speaking)
3) Speak "name of program" with "Asyncronous" checked
4) Launch script below



url = "http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/swn/oneplace/wm/aio/aio"..os.date("%Y")..os.date("%m")..os.date("%d")..".wax"
print (url)
win.ShellExecuteEx(url,nil,nil,3)


Triggered by two different events, an X10 command, and a webserver event!

Program is launched, but no voice command

[Rob H]

Do you have more than one audio device installed? If so then try adding a Voice|Set Audio Device action to set the correct device before the Speak action.

[Todd Reed]

Nope! Only the on-board AC97 sound.

But, maybe I could have it Echo... echo... echo... with 5.1 surround???

[Ron]

Want to upload the GML so we can have a look?

[Todd Reed]

Okay, here you go!

And it is in fact 4.0.15 (build 371)

Thanks!

[Rob H]

This is going to be tricky to test as I don't have an Ocelot, so the first command fails in e.g. the Web Audio\Adventures in Odyssey macro. Disabling the Ocelot action allows the rest of the macro to run though.

Does it make any difference if you move the speak action to start of the macro?

[Todd Reed]

Well, I can check...

I need the stereo source set to aux to even hear it, then the Async should wait until after it speaks before it starts the web download.

I tried doing it without the Async, to speed up the time after the speak command and when it actually starts playing the audio... but I never heard it then either.

As listed, is how I got it to work with 4.0.14...

[Ron]

Can you move back to 4.0.14 ? Or is there a fix you need?

[Todd Reed]

Ron,

If "Speak" is all that is broke, I will just wait for G5...

And since it works if you test it individually, I assume I can fix it by playing with it a bit, it just takes time, loosing a few hours of sleep!! :)

Thanks!

[Ron]

Okay. I'll see if Mike has any idea about the 'speak' problem.
