Could you have a sister script that turns the music off when run?
Could update all, or downloader, grab the latest version of your script when run so it doesn't need to be manually updated?

• Yes, you should be able to already. It was a feature I added but didn't announce. If you have the latest version from github .wav files will work like any other file. I am also adding support for vgm files and internet radio playlists

• When you run the script the first time it creates some extra script in the Scripts menu for stop, play and skip. I think the stop one is what you want. In the next version you can also disable anything playing even on core change and disable starting on boot

• That would certainly be cool but not something I have any control of. I suspect the maintainers of those scripts won't be interested until this script is in a stable and proven state

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Downloa ... tabases.md

• .vgm file support (can be .vgz and .vgm.gz files too)

• Ability to create separate playlists by making subfolders in the music folder

• New playback type to disable all music except boot sounds

• New control GUI for playback control and config settings

• Internet radio support (see the docs on github for how to do this)

• Per track looping, configure individual tracks to loop a certain number of times

• Disable service from starting on boot from config

• Allow music to play during cores if configured

But running the script again doesn't give any type of gui and music continues to play in cores.

my bgm.ini is as follows, and I haven't changed it at all:

Code: Select all

[bgm]
playback = random
playlist = none
startup = yes
playincore = no
debug = no

Any suggestions on what I can try to get it working properly?

When I run the script again, I get:

wizzo wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 1:16 pm Thanks mate. So I think I've almost got this worked out. I hadn't really tested a setup with *only* boot sounds. The control script thinks you have no music files available so is refusing to start, because it doesn't count start up sounds as regular files. It doesn't fix your problem but you can bring up the GUI by popping a regular music file, without a _ in front, in the music folder and launching it again. You can change the playback setting to disabled in the GUI top stop stuff playing.

I will put a bug fix in the next day or so to make the experience better when you're only using boot sounds.

I'm a bit confused about when you say it's playing into cores though. Are you saying that the startup sound plays, and then you start a core and it starts playing more music sounds that you've marked as boot sounds? Or are you saying that if you launch a core while a boot sound is playing, the sound continues playing until it finishes (but it's playing over the top of a launched core) and then stops?

If it's the second one, that's a known issue. But if it's bothering people I will bump it up higher to be fixed

I placed it alone inside its dedicated subfolder, as per instructions. To be sure, I tested with MP Classic as well and it played fine. Any ideas?

PS: I also made a file with only the bare url in it; still no go

Stupid Dufus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 1:38 am Ah, yeah. I only had files with a _ in front. I threw an extra file in there without a _, and now I get the GUI. But none of the _ files are playable from the GUI.

Regarding audio continuing to play, yes, the same mp3 keeps playing on top of anything loaded in a core (though with a brief pause while the core is loading), so it becomes quite noisy ^^

Thank you so much Wizzo, cheers!

wizzo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 1:23 pm I'm surprised the url by itself didn't work though. It seems to play just fine directly with mpg123

• the aptly named nolife-radio

• chiptunes from Japanese computers (MSX, X68000, PC-88 etc.)

• OC C64 SID compositions

Try removing the underscore from all your files and see how it works for you. I'm still thinking you're better off not having anything set as a boot sound

Are these working for anyone?
