Play iTunes audio file using Player?

Post by strongbow » Fri Dec 12, 2014 2:21 pm

Hi there

Is it possible to play an iTunes library audio file using the "player" object on iOS?

Doesn't seem to be, or at least not obvious to me.

Any help appreciated.

cheers

Alan

Hi Alan,

1. I will move this thread to the iOS section, since thit is definitively NOT MobGUI related! 8)
2. Check -> mobilePickMedia in the dictionray, I think this is waht you are looking for!


Best

Hi Klaus

I know mobilePickMedia. That's not the point. mobilePickMedia returns a pointer URI to the selected file. The question is how to play this file - the docs say use "mobilePlaySoundOnChannel" in iOS but this does not work. Using the "play" command does in fact work. But does not offer the flexibility that the channel solutions offer. Someone else, somewhere, had mentioned using the mobile player object for audio, so I was wondering if that were possible (and I was using mobGUI, as it happened, to make the player object). But, yes, it's an iOS question, so feel free to move it there.. though I've already asked on the Use list with no response... and have logged a bug report.

Anyway, good to know that someone's reading...! ;-)

cheers

Alan
