dual player?

[cyanidemonkey]

I was looking about for sample scripts for mp3 player because I'm thinking of making a basic mp3 automation script for my Low Power FM station. I've been using WinAmp2.95 and WRS2.0 to automate it, but it sometimes crashes and it's been awhile since I did any AutoIt coding and it's fun).

I found this and am impressed: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...p;hl=mp3+player

I also found this with dual players, but uses WM: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...p;hl=mp3+player

Could a dual deck or mp3 player be done using Sound.au3?

Just wondering really, my main focus will be using date/time to control the players playlist.

Oh, this would be used for long periods 24/7, would it be ok for that kind of work?

cheers.

You could write it in Flash with XML playlists and compile your flash to an exe with Zinc v2 http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/

But seriously. I think the most difficult part in AutoIT would be playing the streams simultaneously, you could get your playlists from XML with the XML DOM Wrapper

ahh, we use Flash, Flex & Zinc here at work, I'll look into it.

cheers

I'll continue with a single player one in AutoIt for now.

flash

way too complicated,

the sound.au3 will not play 2 files at the same time, but the wmplayer.ocx will (see my sample for playing 2 files simultaneously)

CODE

;===============================================================================

;===============================================================================

Global $oPlayer1 = ObjCreate("WMPlayer.OCX")

Global $oPlayer2 = ObjCreate("WMPlayer.OCX")

$song1 = @ScriptDir & "\test1.mp3" ; requires full path name ...

$song2 = @ScriptDir & "\test2.mp3" ; requires full path name ...

$rc = WMLoadFile($oPlayer1, $song1)

MsgBox(0, "1 rc", $rc)

$rc = WMLoadFile($oPlayer2, $song2)

MsgBox(0, "2 rc", $rc)

$rc = WMGetDuration($oPlayer1);

MsgBox(0, "2 rc", $rc)

; turns the volume down and back up slowly... song 1

For $i = 100 To 0 Step - 1

WMSetVolume($oPlayer1, $i)

Sleep(10)

Next

For $i = 0 To 100

WMSetVolume($oPlayer1, $i)

Sleep(10)

Next

; turns the volume down and back up slowly... song2

For $i = 100 To 0 Step - 1

WMSetVolume($oPlayer2, $i)

Sleep(10)

Next

For $i = 0 To 100

WMSetVolume($oPlayer2, $i)

Sleep(10)

Next

MsgBox(0, "pause", "")

WMPause($oPlayer1)

Sleep(300)

MsgBox(0, "play", "")

$rc = WMGetPosition($oPlayer1)

MsgBox(0, "POS", $rc)

WMPlay($oPlayer1)

Sleep(3000)

MsgBox(0, "stop","")

WMStop($oPlayer1)

WMStop($oPlayer2)

exit ; ----------------------------

; some functions

$wm_obj.url = $sFilename

While Not WMGetState($wm_obj) = "Playing"

Sleep(100)

WEnd

EndFunc ;==>WMLoadFile

;iVol can be between 0 and 100

local $aStates = StringSplit($sStates, ",")

Return $aStates[$iState]

EndFunc ;==>WMGetState

sweet, ok, so if I use wmplayer.ocx i need Win Media Player installed? any version?

SO,

Sound.au3 VS. WMMedia.au3

What would be the best for a automation player for an Low Power FM station running 24/7?

I read that WMMedia had some memory hogging issues, is that now fixed?

Cheers for your help guys. I just wanna get this sorted before I start the build.
