Whenever I launch XBMC now I get a sound playing. It's not a XBMC TTS sound, and NVDA doesn't read me anything, so I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me. It doesn't seem to bother anything, but I'm wondering if some text is coming up that the plugin can't see? To get the sound that I'm hearing, from the home screen with confluence, press H. It'll make the sound that I hear whenever I start up XBMC after the XBMC TTS ready sound plays.
Also, I really need to look over my posts before I post them from my phone. Man that's horrible writing. Thanks a lot dictation. haha. I am running what I believe should be Helix now, but pressing F4 does not stop speech from reading constantly the changelogs once started. Even after restarting the screenreader, it just starts up again. I'm guessing that it's sending information to the screenreader even after a restart.

At first, I would like to send my deepest gratitudes for the creator of this amazing addon for which I have been looking for weeks. You are brilliant man! I have just a suggestion, is it possible for you to enable the first letter navigation for the tts? like when I press a letter, I go to that item starting with the initial I pressed? I have some free time for around a month, if you want me to test anything with regard to the addon, I am at your disposal.
one more question, is there a way that I can put all the items like system, video, setting and so forth as a list from top to down like we can do on windows through choosing details option?

Let me mention a small issue that while playing a channel through a tv addon, if the channel does not get cleared, I mean if it remains in buffering position, the xbmc starts heavily hanging on, I dont know if the app hangs in general or I lose the tts voice connection with the XBMC. This does not happen all the time, but gets repeated sometimes.

The Amber skin works for the most part and has an option in the settings to use a verticle homescreen menu.

You can put things in your favorites, if you go to settings>appearance>skin>settings>addons I believe is the path. The problem is that we don't know what addon group does what. The menu goes addon 1, addon 2, addon 3, up to 5, but once it hits 5, pressing down again goes back to 1 for a different group. So it's trial and error to figure out which group will put addons in your favorite slots for music, videos and programs on your home screen.
Thanks for the skin suggestions, I've only really messed with confluence.

Hi guys. Was trying to reinstall xbmc with the tts package and it seems that it isn't downloading something. Was told by a friend of mine that I should post about it on this thread. Getting a 404 when running the install.

I updated the installer. It will now install the latest Gotham stable release if XBMC is not already installed and then install the XBMC TTS addon and it's dependencies. I just tested it on Windows 8 and it worked fine.

I have got another proposal, cant you implement the tts subtitle reading option for the srt files? this feature exists in KM Player.
Thanks a lot.

Hello, in some addons like Project Free Tv, XBMC TTS faces a great hardship to read the lists of items, such as the movie link/sources of a specific movie chosen. I read that it says such as 8 items or links, but when ı try to move from Parent Directory to down, I could read only the first or the first two items. For the wrest, TTS simply stays silent. As an example, enter into Project Free Tv, make a general search as "China Town", choose the movie and try to go over all the links/sources, you would see that it does not navigate or stays mute. The aledged bug I tried to describe above is not addon specific, I face it indeed in many ones.
