Building a Voice-Control Layer for Local Movie Playback on Windows
Smart Home Cinema is a Windows application designed to enable voice control for local movie playback without replacing existing media players like VLC or PotPlayer. It integrates with voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Assistant through TriggerCMD to execute playback commands remotely. The tool targets users who want hands-free control of locally stored movies when the PC is used as a media device away from the keyboard.
