DOE: Sound Extension

[dulux-oz]

Ah, I missed that because I don't know what URI is. I'll look into it. Cheers!

URI = Uniform Resource Identifier - In information technology, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string of characters designed for unambiguous identification of resources and extensibility via the URI scheme.

Such identification enables interaction with representations of the resource over a network, typically the World Wide Web, using specific protocols. Schemes specifying a concrete syntax and associated protocols define each URI. The most common form of URI is the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), frequently referred to informally as a web address. More rarely seen in usage is the Uniform Resource Name (URN), which was designed to complement URLs by providing a mechanism for the identification of resources in particular namespaces. - Wikipedia

Thanks for the help.

Another way to think of a URI, if you can (and you can in Windows) give a path to a file like;
file://c:/sounds/crash.mp3
Then you are good.

I thought it might work something like that; I would have vlc running and when I click a sound icon in FG to which I had assigned the sound file path, it would play. I don't know where to assign that path though. If I am right, then this is my hangup.

That "path" is what the DOE: Sound calls a "Sound String".

Wait... so I can stream an MP3 file from my hard drive to my players through this extension (for ambience or battle music)?

I have only been using it with Syrinscape thus far.

Absolutely! I do it all the time with mp3's on my hard drive, with youtube links. I've also downloaded several tracks from tabletop audio as mp3's and created soundlinks from those.

And this, people, is why I say again and again to READ THE FREAKIN MANUAL - its all in there, explained, simplified, and ready to be discovered

I did read the manual... but just the parts that applied to Syrinscape and Teamspeak.

Looks like I have more reading to do.

So maybe we need a new acronym: RTWFM = Read The WHOLE Freakin Manual
