How to use the new sound triggers in discord using the free VLC media player.

[Moon Wizard]

The DUPLICATE message shows up if two URLs are called back to back in the same script call; or if the URL request gets hung up.

Also, it looks like the client was queueing URLs as if they had a callback for Interface.openURL calls, even if it didn't have a callback; so I'll get that addressed in next client build. That doesn't change what is happening, just that the DUPLICATE messages will show up if response isn't immediate when sending the same sound multiple times within same script or before VLC can respond.

The problem with Kenku is it requires a PUT request to play sounds or control the web interface. There is a separate thread for Kenku with Moon Wizards response as to why Unity cant do it. VLC works by just opening the URL and the rest is embedded into the code.

Ah, that's a shame. Oh well.

The latest update has fixed the search and a superficial test seems to show the sounds are no longer randomly dissapearing. I will find out during tomorrows game if it all holds up, but for now it appears to all be working.

Very nice.

Only caveat (speaking as an extension dev on Forge myself) the delivery was done oddly as it forced the VLC extension to be chosen again in all campaigns that previously had it selected. That's not a normal delivery update from Forge FYI. Usually only happens if something got moved from vault to extension directory but I see no sign of it in extensions so not sure what caused that.

And still they are doing their Forge updates incorrectly - as you have to recheck the VLC extension anytime they load a new version. Guess they don't care. Get used to having to recheck it every time you load after they change it.

What @SilentRuin is eluding to is this - FG uses the name of the extension as the reference for which extensions have been enabled in a campaign. The "name" of an extension is the filename of the .ext file.

So, looking at a version of this extension in the Forge vault file on my computer, the extensions name in this case is "Sounds - VLC (Import Text Patch) - LIVE". If a future release changes this name within the Forge package then the GM will need to re-enable the extension as FG sees it as a different extension.

I know this can make it a little harder to track versions in the background, but the recommendation is to use a meaningful name for the extension (e.g. "Sounds - VLC") and keep to that going forwards, not changing it with future releases.

I highly recommend you watch Doug's video on this. I did not want to have people sit through the same information.

And where is "Doug's video" located?

Anyone else getting a limited VLC list of sounds? Looks like I have no paging controls and it only shows the first page. I can search and see that it contains the things its not displaying but unless I specifically search on a known name I can't see it to put it into a setup.

Same for me, only one page. Tarkonian does not have the problem. Happy to not being alone here. Even on a fresh campaign with no other extension I only have the first page.

I suspect you need to clear the sounds and re import them with file paths. Likely he’s not doing that as that is when I noticed it happen - after I control A selected all my sound directory and right mouse copy path and pasted into file path form.
