Win Med Plyr - Detect Song Finished In Scr

[jhocott]

I'm a newbie to AutoItv3. Managed to get several scripts working but am stumped on this one. The purpose of the script is a simple timer that plays a midi file after counting down a number of seconds. Songs are typically 2:15 - 3:+ minutes long. I want to Splash a message when the song ends. I am having to choose between a fixed sleep or closing the media player window. I have several versions of the script, none are completely satisfactory.

Is there a way I can detect the end of a song ,media player remains active but does not close.

Thanks Jay

does the command SoundPlay() not work for the midi file?

Yes it does, despite the help text state .wav & .mp3 only.

However I still have the same problem, i.e., how to abort the song playing?

Soundplay("") aborts

Is it right? I can't abort the soundplay.

Can you give a full example of the function "Soundplay()"

Thank you !

[this-is-me]

SoundPlay("file.wav"); play file.wav
Sleep(2000); wait 2 seconds
SoundPlay(""); if file.wav is not finished playing in 2 seconds, stop playing anyway
