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

[Arnagus]

There's a "CSV Import" option in the Sound Settings window. If you've already done a "Web Import" there's be a "sounds_syrinscape.csv" file in your <FG app data> directory - this is a good example of the format needed for the CSV import.

Other way round, and not for the sounds but for the triggers. I want to replace the sounds in the triggers (instead of touching each single trigger within Fantasy Grounds).

I'm going to upload a new LIVE patch and I'm going to change the extension file name ONE LAST TIME. This is to make the errors easier to identify as Sounds - VLC, instead of the trailing text I have on it now. Sorry, I know you all hate it, but I promise I won't do it again unless I absolutely have to.

All is working fine, thanks Tarkonian.

Hey all,
I finally got everything to work with one exception.
Whenever I trigger a sound, etc. VLC player insists on playing all of the previous sounds as well. Is there a way to kill the playlist so that it doesn't happen. As it sets, I'm needing to go into VLC and delete the playlist between sounds. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm sure it's a VLC thing but, maybe someone has figured it out.

Any ideas,

Thanks in advance

Are using VLC 2.0?

[Weepdrag]

Yep, I completely removed my old VLC player and re-downloaded the 2.0 clean.
Thanks

I found the problem:

VLC player installed with the "shuffle" button on. NO buttons should be on for this to work. I undid the button and Viola! it works as intended.

VLC sounds today don't seem to be working for me. They did last week.

An update from my log shows the connection was refused:

I have changed nothing - I see fantasy grounds has normal firewall access to all ports inbound and outbound - not sure what is going on.
