Hi Emby team, I would like to request that Kinect and Cortana voice commands be added to Emby Theatre for Xbox One and Windows 10 (UWP).

X360 KINECT™ Remote Control for Media Browser And... We're back! With something new! 3.0 This version still has some bugs, but it should control media browser. But guys, if you want kinect to control your media '{cring}' you should invest in an XBOX One. Please Post Log Files Found In "Settings\Global\Logs" (I think we need to zip them up, they are getting pretty long.) This application is currently under development. Known issues: 1. Speech is not consistently understood on test computers. 2. Some .Net errors occur while using the program. The Kinect Application now must install depending on your OS Environment: Current Versions: 64bit Installler Version 3.1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46151346/MBK64bit.zip 32bit Installler Version 3.1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46151346/MBK32bit.zip Version Log: Test Version 2.6.67 1. Updated to use the latest releases of the Media Browser API files 2. Re-worked building the Speech Recognition Engine 3. Simplified more code. Test Version 2.6.66 1. Worked on Speech registry and tried to fix UK English (which holds quite a few Culture Infos) 2. Started work on Box set Commands - Not enabled yet. 3. Re-factored Face Recognition code, and tried to simplify it to figure out why Travelmanics can't use it. Test Version 2.6.65 1. Fixed Speech Recognition.... I think. Test Version 2.6.64 1. New splash screen, some interesting coded graphics 2. Fixed Face recognition mess up 3. Re factored code to make it easier for other developers to follow it, and help. I am offering up the source to anyone who can write VB.Net and wants to help. Test Version 2.6.63 1. The the Security stuff for the server has been perfected. 2. New browsing code 3. New Branding "Media Browser Open Air Remote" Test Version 2.6.62 1. The the Security stuff for the server. 2. this version is going to be buggy as hell. Test Version 2.6.61 1. Streamlined code 2. Started to use different JSON de serialization techniques 3. Add Command List Sheet to the download called "Command List" ​4. Re worked the app recommending new media 5. Started work on hand gestures control media playback Note: Hand Gestures run the CPU really high, so I am trying to get the process to run in short bursts to control the CPU level. Test Version 2.6.60 1. Spaceboy error squashed! 2. Re worked gender calculator Test Version 2.6.57 1. Removed Changes to Speech Engine Builder Test Version 2.6.56 1. Removed HotFix. Test Version 2.6.55 1. Fixed User Array NULL Error ("Spaceboy Error")!! 2. Fixed Speech Recognition culture Info 3. Fixed Speech Recognition couldn't understand accents 4. Streamlined code: cut down on Server Information Requests 5. Refined Culture Info 6. Refined Application Settings XML 7. Add Proper Culture to Speech Registry Note: Disregard Message boxes in Speech Training Page. I forgot to remove them. Test Version 2.6.54 1. Fixed Client Object returns NULL. Ops! My bad... that is all I will say about my CUI.. (Coding Under an Influence...) 2. Note: Still can't figure out the "Spaceboy Error", not sure why User Dto Info is returning NULL. ---------------------------------------------------- Test Version 2.6.53 1. Fixed KINECT Sensor "Initializing" error in the Speech Training during First Run set up. The Sensor is started earlier in the application, so it won't be still initialing when the audio source is started. There is also a loop to make sure that the Sensor is in a "Connected" state before Audio Enhancements are turned on. 2. Add Culture Abilities to the Speech Recognition Engine. 3. (IMPORTANT: There needs to be some fixes for people who have been testing so far, if they are NOT going to use the "English-US" settings for the Speech Recognizer) 4. Attempted to fix the (what I call) "Spaceboy Error" where User Buttons where NULL on the First Run Speech Training Page. ---------------------------------------------------- Test Version 2.6.52 1. Add Core Audio Functions to the Speech Properties Page to control Microphone array Level 2. Removed code which might be the cause of the Speech recognition Engine not working properly. 3. Added Handling to the Kinect Sensor if the status isn't "Ready" - wait until it is. 4. Add some Parallel Subroutines to sort information from the Media Browser Server Faster. 5. Added more information to logging, to help with fixes better and faster. 6. Synchronized the proper release Build numbers to start work on the Automatic Update Button ---------------------------------------------------- Test Version 2.6.51 1. Fixed the errors when Face Recognition finds the user but doesn't recorded the User Name Property properly, and it was breaking the apps ability to find the Users image for the main form. (thanks @travalmanics!) 2. Finally fixed USB FILTERS, so x64 OS computers should now be able to turn the LED different colors 3. Removed The Windows Recording Audio controls (to may problems, and they just stopped work correctly. ---------------------------------------------------- Test Version 2.6.5 1. Added a Read Out to the LOG from the "Install-Filter.exe" to try and figure out why the LED changer isn't working on some 64bit Computers 2. Attempted to fix bugs with 64bit OS when taking control on Windows Recording Device Levels. 3. Fixed a bug where two Speech Recognition Engines where being created during Application Start up. 4. Added extra space in the Download Buffer to stop corrupt Installers of the Kinect For Windows SDK v1.7. 5. On First Run - if there are Device Filters add to the Kinect Sensor from previous testing, these are removed to make sure that the latest filters are still working with a clean install. 6. Added a Button to the Applications Main Form, which can be shown or Hidden remotely, when a new version is available. (Doesn't work yet, just exists)

Media Browser Kinect re-branded so it doesn't conflict with "Media Browser Connect". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB1gMUPjCgc&feature=youtu.be

Quick video showing some streamlining of the Kinect app. Breaking the mold. Of coarse the mold is moldy ... because it is almost three years old.... lol! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB1gMUPjCgc&feature=youtu.be

I am loving the development around Media Browser 3 having used Media Browser for a number of years. I have MB Server running on Windows 8.1 and three client machines around the house running Media Browser Theatre also on Windows 8.1 all running seamlessly. I have been following the MBKinect project for a little while and finally decided to jump in with the release of the latest 'stable' version released at the beginning of the month. I purchased a Kinect off eBay and have set everything up correctly as far as I can see. I installed the v1.7 SDK and the Developer's Kit on one of my client machines, and then plugged in the Kinect. It was recognised in Windows as the various Kinect devices, Mic Array, Camera etc. I have then downloaded the latest version of MBKinect from this thread (http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/850-media-browser-nui-natural-user-interface-kinect/), unzipped it to my desktop and ran the 'Media Browser Kinect.exe' It prompts for administrative rights (I am logged in as a standard user) briefly displays the splash screen and prompts for allowance of a Windows Firewall exception (presumably to contact the MB Server machine), but then immediately crashes. I tried this logged in as the admin user on the client machine also as thought might be a permissions issue but the same outcome everytime. Looking in the Windows Application Log get the following two errors every time I start it - can anybody point me in the right direction? Faulting application name: Media Browser Kinect.exe, version: 2.0.0.4, time stamp: 0x531261b7 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.3.9600.16408, time stamp: 0x523d4548 Exception code: 0xe0434352 Fault offset: 0x00012eec Faulting process id: 0xfb8 Faulting application start time: 0x01cf3d249b16858b Faulting application path: C:\Users\Security\Desktop\MBKinect Release 01-03-2014\Media Browser Kinect.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: d8f5acab-a917-11e3-8253-90b11c67b0ef Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Application: Media Browser Kinect.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

I have managed to install all the appropriate files from mediabrowser kinect.com and got the kinect working with my PC. voice training works well and I am able to control the PC I can get the kinect plugin working. It recognises me with face detection, connects to the media browser server and is set up for working with media browser theatre However, I cannot get it to control media browser theatre like I have see on the videos I.e Go to hd movies To to man of steel Play movie etc All I can do is say move right, move left, enter etc. How do you train the plugin to work specifically with media browser. Is there some kind of training programme or text to speech document that needs to be completed? Any help greatly appreciated. By the way very surprised this plugin is free. To keep the development of this alive I am more than happy to donate if that is possible

I start kinect it ask to pick user to control then just repeatedly says "I'm having a problem loading designation grammar I will rectify the problem immediately" it says that about 20 or so times and opens a notepad document every time so end up with 20 or so notepads all titled token and saying Arguments = WScript.Arguments.Item(0) Set wmp = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX") wmp.settings.autoStart = True wmp.settings.volume = 50 wmp.URL = Arguments while wmp.Playstate <> 1 WSH.Sleep 10 Wend wscript.Quit then after its done with that mdkinect just stops all together

This is going to be good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gbSJW4ZCpA&feature=youtu.be

I wanted to build a Skype interface into the Media Browser Kinect App, but it got super complicated, so instead I spent time and learn what it would take to create my own type of Skype app for Media Browser users. This is what I came up with in a couple of hours. So far, it will only work on a home network, however I am going to attempt to get it working over the interwebs. What this means is that if you run Media Browser Kinect, you will be able to video chat with other Media Browser Kinect users! Actually pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGKYfRBQwx0&feature=youtu.be

Chef, how far along are you on MBKinect? Been away for awhile so haven't have much chance to do much testing, but am back for more.
