Kinect and XBMC

[gmitch64]

I've placed a test kinect down in the living room, running a remote copy of the plug in, and it's connected to my MediaPC.

I have a couple of events set up (Lights On and Lights Off), which work fine. I can turn the lights off and on to my hearts content.

If I start up XBMC (Frodo 12.2) on the same machine, then the events never fire off.

If I then close down XBMC, the events never fire off. I need to exit and restart the plug in order to get the events to work, and they work great. Of course, as soon as I start XBMC again, they stop working.

I had this issue on v23 of the plug-in. I upgraded last night to v28, with the same issue. I see you've just posted v29 tonight - I've upgraded and I'm having the same issue. I also notice that the plugin says that the Zone I set up for occupancy shows as empty when XBMC is running, and 1 person beforehand.

Also, not sure if it's related, but I am seeing this in the logs

Attempt by plugin to register a duplicate link of kinectconfig. Plugin: Kinect Instance: LivingRoom

There is only one instace of HSPI_KINECT running.


Any suggestions?

if you set the log level to Trace, do you see anything in the console when you try to speak a command, or does the plugin seem is stuck?

could you post your Kinect_LivingRoom.ini and the logs after a restart of the plugin

thanks

Getting back to playing with this again - now on V30 of the plugin

It just seems dead in the water.

could you try to test with the echo cancellation feature turned off, I'm worried that this feature can cause some problems...
