play file (1 Viewer)

[hbe02]

hi all,
can someone please give me code to play a playlist or music file in media portal. I have an idea for a plugin that plays music on voice commands. The voice part is good. now once my plugin recognizes that the user say "play music.mp3" how can i play the file or playlist "music.mp3"
thanks.

Hi hbe02 and welcome,
I think there already is a plug in that does this, take a look: myVoice
You could always help with development if you got skills in that department

thanks for the feedback uggabugga.. unfortuntely the link to the myVoice plugin seems to have died.
In regards to my plugin, i am trying to combine the myVoice with the X10 plugin into 1 where u can say something like. "Set mood to romantic" and my plugin will send the appropriate x10 signals to dim the lights and play some nice music and so on...
question is, how can i play music?

Ok, sorry I can't help you in that department. But you might consider posting this question under this sub-forum: General Development or try to PM booyakasha.
Good luck anyways

You can use g_player like this:

MediaPortal.Player.g_Player.Play(whatever.mp3, MediaPortal.Player.g_Player.MediaType.Music)

That should work for you. I'm not really sure if there's a better way, but that's what I use for the Music Trivia plugin and it seems to work fine.

Thanks jburnette, I will try it out asap!
