SoundOpus is a script that integrates Dopus and MPEGA/GMPlay/Play16
for the best functionality with playing all kinds of audio. Displays
name, soundformat and time in a Dopus progress window. Shows the
runtime on a progressbar and a timecounter.
Requirements:
* DOPUS 5.5
* MPEGA 3.3 (for playing MPEG-Audio)
* GMPlay 1.3 (for playing MIDI)
* Play16 1.8 (for playing samples)
* RexxMaster (ARexx) running
* rexxsupport.library somewhere in LIBS:
* Break and List commands in C:
* PIPE: device mounted
* MPEG-Audio filetype installed in Opus (use this one included in
the package, or set ID of your own MPEG-Audio filetype to "MPA")
* MIDI filetype installed in Opus (use this one included in the
package, or set ID of your own MIDI filetype to "MIDI")
* a set of sample format filetypes installed in Opus (use these
included in the package, or set IDs of your own filetypes to
"WAVE", "VOC", "AIFF", "MAUD", "8SVX", "AU" and "CDDA")
Installation:
As button or menuitem:
<AREXX> Dopus5:ARexx/SoundOpus.dopus5 {Qp}
For Filetype-startup (doubleclick start):
<AREXX> Dopus5:ARexx/SoundOpus.dopus5 {Qp} {Ql} {o}
Before you start using the script you must configure it (paths for
MPEGA, GMPlay and Play16 executables must be given).
Usage:
Select all sound files you want to listen and start SoundOpus.
If you want to stop playing a file press the abort button.
When you stop a file in the first five seconds, script will
be completely aborted.
You can also select directories. This script will look for all kinds
of sound files there (and in further subdirectories) and will add them
to the list of sounds to be played.
Configuration:
Names of MPEGA, GMPlay and Play16 executables must be given in the
following variables:
mpegaexe - name (with path) for MPEGA executable file.
gmplayexe - name (with path) for GMPlay executable file.
play16exe - name (with path) for Play16 executable file.
You can also configure these programs for your needs by changing
other variables:
mpegamode - CLI arguments, which are passed to MPEGA.
gmplaymode - CLI arguments, which are passed to GMPlay.
play16mode - CLI arguments, which are passed to Play16.
Info:
Thanks to David Gonneau and Michael Kilimann, who wrote their
own Dopus GUIs for soundplaying. It was much easier to write
my own script, when I could look, how somebody else had done it.
Public Domain:
This script is Public Domain. You are allowed to modify it without
any restrictions, add new features and so on. But it will be nice
if you send me this modified script, so I can use it. If you like
this script, please send me something nice (for example a postcard
of your town) or just mail me.
Greetings
