@ Tom
Good to know that works on Windows. Yesterday I did start by creating a
player, setting it off screen for my Mac OSX UI. Glad to know that
works on Windows. One of our business team here moved entirely off the
Mac Platform over to windows (and built his entire box from the ground
up... some incredible number of cores etc...) So I can have him test...
Why do you lock and unlock messages?
@ Paolo
Thanks for the stacks you sent off list.
"Play soundFile" for Mobile .... ha! that's too easy...
You are right. the documentation on multi-media is near complete chaos:
play, play audioClip, play soundFile, then there's all the
"mobilePlaySoundOnChannel" related commands. if you enter SoundFile in
the dictionary search... you don't get anything. the keyword in the
dictionary is "Play file" I need to remember to always use BvGs Docu 2
stack... because this would have found it.
for my use case "play soundFile" will suffice.
so it should be as simple as
if the environment <> "mobile" then
# do everything with a player object
else
play soundFile
end if
OK...wow that's easier than I thought it would be.
Now if both of these will stream a file from our server
http://www.HimalayanAcademy.com/media/audio/songs/bhajan/ganesha/ekadantaya-namah_pm/ekadantaya-namah_pm.mp3
<view-source:http://www.himalayanacademy.com/media/audio/songs/bhajan/ganesha/ekadantaya-namah_pm/ekadantaya-namah_pm.mp3>
it will be great.

Hi,
This approach is working to play mp3s in a LC 7.0.5 standalone on Windows 7
and Vista:
I've tested this on a Windows 7 machine where QT is installed, but I set the
dontuseQT to true. And on a Vista machine that does not have QT installed.
Worked on both.
on PlayMP3 theMP3file, pname
lock messages
set the filename of player pname to theMP3file
unlock messages
set the currentTime of player pname to 0
start player pname
end PlayMP3
And to stop the player:
stop player pname
I don't know yet how well this holds up on versions of Windows other than 7
and Vista.
Hope that helps.
Tom
