Backup your "settings folder"

delete the "Programdata\Media Browser Kinect" folder, and try this new installer.

This should fix the Application Settings.XML issue

Won't copying the settings folder back across overwrite the application .xml?

Or is it a just in case?

June 7, 2014

Okay @@chef ... back to the install

Soooo. OK. Installed. no settings folder so no application setting.xml on installation ...

Still have the first time unhandled error where it can't find the users from MB

MBKinect installation breaks at this point and needs to be closed...

Checking before continuing again with install AGAIN ... settings folder has been made with application setting.xml however it is the incomplete version that I had previously ...

I shall perservere as I know from experience it finds the users second time through Though I wonder if the application setting.xml is now broken because of that ...

EDIT: Yep it is. Copying the application.xml lines from your earlier post and editing the file to get the speech working again.

EDIT AGAIN: Annnnnd the speech recog is now the broken... can't get a response even with settings copied back across

Hmmm @@chef ... interesting

I've reinstalled the old version which had speech working (ignore the part/s that point out my idiocy) and come across something...

I only had it occur twice out of eleven program openings and only with running as administrator (I was trying to see if it would reproduce consistently - it didn't.) Don't know if it has anything to do with anything important or if it's just my fail system.

I get the following error on load when it breaks:

EDIT: I think we have to repair the .Net 4.5 Framework on your computer.

Could you try and re install from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=30653

i am still working on this.

Here is an installer which will create the Application Settings XML file. Repair the .net framework, and then try this.

Make sure to backup your working "settings" folder.

Could you try this installer from the beginning?

thank you for taking the time. my brain is also tired.

Say, was .Net Framework 4.5 even installed on your computer? If it isn't then I'll have to add some code to the first run to check for .Net 4.5 being installed.

It probably would be a good idea anyway to have the code added.

I just need to clarify, so I know what to look for next. Sorry about this...

The Application Settings XML that is installed by the installer, is at some point re written improperly during First run?

The Designation XML file is then never created properly, it is missing the Designation Name?

There is a program called Team Viewer. It allows access to your computer remotely. It is free...

Would you be up to, allowing me access, to check out the different XML files and get a first hand look into the stages of how things are working?

by the way, did you get the different voices working on your PC?

Yep. First Time First Run led to all that. I'll have a look and see if I can get TeamViewer.

Edited June 8, 2014 by Cynful

June 9, 2014

I spent the last two days re working the code.

Now, every time the "Application Settings" XML file is accessed there is a backup subroutine which checks the file and makes sure that all the nodes are there before the main class moves on.

Also, when ever the designation is loaded into the speech recognizer, there is a backup subroutine which checks to make sure that the command is not empty, and that the designation xml is written properly.

I should have something to test later on today.

I am very interested in what will happen now that backup routines are in place.

I am also trying to create logs with in the app. That should make it easier to pinpoint problems in the future.

I apologize if this has been answered before or if this is the wrong place to post this. I have been looking for solutions for a couple hours now. Install ion proceeds without issue but as soon as I try to run Media Browser Kinect it throws an unhandled exception access denied. If I hit continue, I get a form 1 error. If I hit continue again, the program becomes unresponsive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@@Sean Forester, hey man!

There are two installers for each type of OS.

64bit and 32bit. It was tricky to build a universal installer because we are taking control of more than the kinect sdk allows.

Was the proper installer installed for you OS?

Are you using Windows 7 or 8?

Not exactly sure about the "Form1 Error". Perhaps if you could run the app again,a nd then cut and paste the error into the form so I can read it.

the next version is logging a lot of information, so I should beable to fix errors better.

Form loading errors are harder to log, because it stops the app from accually loading properly.

Just as a seperatre note:

Currently the outline for the application has been written, but we are experincing some difficulties regarding post installation and the speech recognizer. Mostly regarding accents in people's speech (this is what I believe to be the case).

Apologies for the inconvenience and we should have something worked out soon.

Perhaps you would be interested in joining some testing trails?

Edited June 13, 2014 by chef

June 14, 2014

It has been a long couple days. I believe that this version is worth testing. If all goes well and the app indeed loads. Check out the Speech menu.

I was able to get control of the Kinect Microphone Array Level through a Windows API. It was not easy, although it will be completely underestimated because it is just a TrackBar you can slide back and forth.

Make sure the TrackBar is set to "100"!

Designation settings still not being written to xml due to the required fields not existing on build.

No designation, no anything...

Manually copying and editing designation fields from settings/globalApplication Settings.xml in order to continue

Sorry Chef.

Still no voice recognition since the much earlier version.

June 15, 2014

Damn. it is time for drastic measures.

I am going to create a separate XML with designation information in it. I just can't seem to figure out why, the information is being written wrong.

June 15, 2014

You are correct, the Application Settings XML is referenced for the Server IP address to make requests for information, like user names, images etc.

I went through and debugged line by line. I just can't understand why those lines are not being written to the XML.

The weird thing is this, if the lines containing the IP address and Port number are being written to the XML, then the other lines should be written as well. They all get written together at the same time.

I thought that perhaps, if there the XML had bad form (meaning, certain nodes/tags were not created properly) that that would cause the application to stop writing the file. But, it would throw an exception error, if that was the case.

SO, the question still remains, why the heck the system name lines are not being written.

One last thought...

There is a chance that the Client object (that is to say the connection between the Kinect app and the Server) is not being properly made during First Run.

I have put in place some message boxes that will appear, letting you know if that is the problem. If there is no proper connection then that would cause the "FirstRunSpeechTraining" page to fail.

Also, one last mention.

The Message box that appears that says :"True", means that at that point all the XML tags/nodes are present in the "Application Settings.XML" file. So, at that point during First Run the Designation information, does exist.

This means that it is after First Run that the Application Setting XML file is somehow corrupted.

Hi @@Matt7402,

You will have to install the kinect for window sdk separately now.

We are using the kinect for window sdk version 1.7.

You may have to remove traces of it from you computer. You can uninstall them from the windows control panel.

Make sure that the kinect in unplugged from your computer during sdk install.

Afterwards, plug in the kinect sensor and wait for the drivers to update.

Finally, attempt to run a clean install of mbkinect.

Simply delete "media browser kinect" folder found under "programdata" on your computer.

Sorry about the problem.

There isn't a tried and tested way to check if the sdk install was truly successful from first run in mbkinect.

The app can only download the file, start the process and wait for it to end.

I suppose it Should then look to see of the proper files exist after install, but I hadn't gotten quite that far.

Thank you for posted the error code.

The next version I have to test, takes great care at logging events. So, hopefully I will be able to pinpoint where certain issues are taking place.

Hi @@chef.

Running the latest X64 version. Install, run as administrator works fine.

Checked "Applications Settings.xml" in settings/global and appears to be created OK. Attached here is the dump

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Global_Settings>

<Server_Information>

</Server_Information>

<User_Options>

<Override_Enabled>False</Override_Enabled>

<Override_Name />

</User_Options>

<Designation_Name>Kinect</Designation_Name>

<Designation_Audio_Duration_Min>550</Designation_Audio_Duration_Min>

<Designation_Audio_Duration_Max>750</Designation_Audio_Duration_Max>

</Designation>

</Global_Settings>

At this point I have not run the first time install. Just installed the app.

I have noticed that the biometrics folder is not being created on the install of the app. This maybe what is causing some of the first run failures.

On the first time install I get the spinning circle and then the following error:

Click ok and then continue on the splash screen. Install the filters and says successful but the kinect does not flash yellow and red. Just blinking green. Click continue and then get the next error:

Cannot go any further as just the splash screen showing with no continue button. Closed down the app through task manager.

Checked the Application Setting.xml ini settings/global and it now reads like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Global_Settings>

<Server_Information>

</Server_Information>

<User_Options>

<Override_Enabled>False</Override_Enabled>

<Override_Name />

</User_Options>

<Designation_Name>Kinect</Designation_Name>

<Designation_Audio_Duration_Min>550</Designation_Audio_Duration_Min>

<Designation_Audio_Duration_Max>750</Designation_Audio_Duration_Max>

</Designation>

</Global_Settings>

All appears OK at the moment regarding the XML.

2nd Attempt

Still get first error RPC Server is unavailable as soon as the splash screen loads

Install LED filters appears to go OK i.e. says it is successful but Kinect still just flashing green. Click continue

Get the second error above as shown in the 2nd screen shot. Real sorry but cannot get any further than this as the app does not allow me to continue.

3rd attempt

Had another quick check of the application settings.xml and noticed under the <Server Information> tag there is an entry for <MediaBrowserServerMACAddress/> but with no end point. Deleted this from the XML and now get a pop up saying "TRUE" but no RPC error. Click OK and then Next.

Led Filters still the same. Says successful but flashing green. Click Continue but no my name is showing. I think the first 2 errors were directly related to the <MediaBrowserServerMACAddress/> in the XML file.

Speech recognition training starts - completed successfully and closed. Recognised as closed by the Kinect app. Click Next

Face recognition works fine.

Kinect starts to load and I get an immediate error: "audio line reference is invalid"

Click continue.

Try to change the Designation Name from Kinect. and get a further error saying it cannot find path "C:\ProgramData\\Media Browser Kinect\settings\global\Speech\Grammers\Designation.xml". Quit the app as I basically get an Object reference not set to an instance of an object for every link I press.

Created the folders \speech\grammers but this does not fix the error.. Despite the errors the Application Settings.xml appears to be all ok and has written the designation change even though the error was generated.

Unable to select "devices as I get object not set to an instance of an object" yet MBC is running

Kinect app. is not able to find me as a user. However, it did detect me during setup and I haven't moved position.

Attempt 4

Uninstall and reboot of PC. Removed <MediaBrowserServerMACAddress/> from the Application Settings.xml file and the biometrics folder. and started the first time install.

First time install worked fine with no errors up to the face recognition but regardless of what I did it did not recognise my face with the bounding box around it. So I had to exit. Leds however, still says successful but continue to blink green only.

When the app first loads I will still get the "audio line reference invalid" error. Click continue.

Cannot do face recognition in app as I get object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Unfortunately, when the app has loaded nearly every link I press gives an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" therefore, I cannot do face recognition, or devices.

As the LED continues to blink green speech does not work through the APP. But this was expected.

Hope this helps in some way. sorry for the long post.

Hmmm, so I originally thought about having WOL, however now that I am seeing MAC address errors, which seem to be the root of issues with installation, I am going to remove it for now.

RPC server error again? What the heck is that?

I asked in the dev forum about it because it seems to be happening when a request of user names is made the the media browser server.

Perhaps once I remove the WOL settings it may stop this RPC error, because it only started happening since I added these functions

Thanks for the time to test guys!

Okay!

I can fix one of the errors! Sooo sweet!

The RPC Connection error is because Parts of the kinect app are being blocked by Windows Firewall.

What this means is that I will have to change the connection name, and cause firewall settings to set for the new client name connnecting to the Media Browser Server.

this will fix the RPC Server Connection Error. Right now the application is registers itself as "Kinect" with Widnows Firewall and the Media Browser Server.

I will change the name to: "MBKinect1". this is how it will appear in the ist of active devices connnected to the server, in the server dashboard.

On to the next.....

hey, thought i'd join in and give this another go.

installed the kinect sdk 1.7 and the mbkinect app and i get pretty much the same errors as everyone else except that i cannot get the leds to flash red and yellow, they are green only.

its not the first time i've had the sdk installed so there is possibly a problem with drivers that i will go back and try and clear. anyone able to confirm working drivers?

cheers
