How do I load the WMP Plugin in AMS6?

[Ed Stanley]

In order to play mp3's in AMS6 I understand that I can do it by adding a WMP plugin. How do I do that, is my question.

Thanks
Ed Stanley

acually, you can just use Audio.Load() for your MP3's. you dont have to use the WMP plugin. but if you want to use the WMP, just go to Object, Plugins, and you will see the WMP there. if you need help with the plugin, then once you insert it into your project, double click on it and go to the SETTINGS tab, click on the About button, then the PLUGIN HELP button. its very easy to use.


hope that helps

Thanks, Chris.

I did see the WMP plugin in the Plugins file but didn't know what to do with it.
I'll follow your instructions and if I have any difficulty I'll post another reply. Regarding using Audio.Load for mp3 files, I have tried that but AMS will not recognize the mp3 files. Only after I have converted them to .ogg, can I load the files. Maybe there is something else I can do to make it work.

Again, thanks for your assistance,

Just rename the file extension from .mp3 to .wav, that was stated as working.

:yes

the media player i was helping someone on here a few weeks ago worked just fine as MP3, i thought. i dont have AMS on this machine, so i cant test it right now.

here's the link. it has both projects there. one with Audio.Load and the other using the WMP plugin.

I tested such out, one can just rename the .mp3 file(s) to .wav and then use the Audio.Load() Action.

Tip: If you have a lot then just rename them via script, at run-time.

:yes

:yes

it works just fine from my end. heres the script i used


tbSelected2 = ListBox.GetSelected("ListBox2");
if tbSelected2 then
strScript2 = ListBox.GetItemData("ListBox2", tbSelected2[1]);
Audio.Load(CHANNEL_BACKGROUND, strScript2, true, true)
end

strScript2 is the path to the file.
and the files are mp3 and not renamed.

Regarding using Audio.Load for mp3 files, I have tried that but AMS will not recognize the mp3 files.

I think what stickck is trying to convey is that you can load your mp3's, you just have to type the path in manually (as I stated before, there are other ways but we'll keep it simple once again). Don't search for the file(s) using the browse button, type in the exact path.

I must really be missing something here....
I followed someones advice and went to
"Object, Plugins, and you will see the WMP there".
I didn't see WMP, but there was a link to "More Plugins" that took me to a page at Indigo Website but I failed to find any plug ins there.

What am I missing ?

[Daniel TM]

WMP stands for "Windows Media Player" so if you go to Object > Plugins you will see MediaPlayer, that's the WMP Plugin.

[samborskij]

thanks for your response Daniel but .....
if you read what I wrote, you will note when I go to "Objects, Plugins" there is no WMP option there, only "shapes", "slider" and "more plugins".

when I select "more plugins" it takes me to the Indigo website. Once there I can't find any plugins of any kind...

so again, what am i doing wrong ?

If you update to the latest version of AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0 you will see the MediaPlayer plug-in. If you are running the latest version of AMS 6.0 and don't see the Media Player plug-in, please open a support ticket at http://support.indigorose.com . :yes

Here is a link from an old AMS5 forum post about the plugin. I thought it was included with the installation of the application. Might have to check with support.

D'oh I was too slow in posting. Corey already has it covered.

[samborskij]

tnx Corey for the link to the update patches etc,
http://support.indigorose.com/
not sure why I didn't ever check "Support", may be because most of the time I am in over my head. Anyway tnx again...Sam
