Playing WAV Files

[gacevich]

i spent some time this afternoon tyring to set up a triggered event that plays a wav file. i would like the wav file to play when the clothes dryer is finished running. i got all the aspects of the triggered event to work fine, except that it won't play the wav file. here is my code

Code:

System::Equals
    P1=$(ELK.Output054)
    P2=True

Devices::FieldWrite
    P1=KensVariables.Dryer_Operating
    P2=True

End
System::Equals
    P1=$(ELK.Output054)
    P2=False

Devices::FieldWrite
    P1=ELK.Output016
    P2=True

Devices::FieldWrite
    P1=KensVariables.Dryer_Operating
    P2=False

System::PlayWAV
    P1=C:\Users\Public\Music\The Clothes are Dry.wav
    P2=False

Devices::FieldWrite
    P1=ELK.Output016
    P2=False

End

the wav file is located on the master server in the directory as programmed. to test this, i built a command button with the same PlayWAV code and when i click the command button on the master server iv screen the wav file can be heard.

so, i can play the wav file when activating it via the iv, but not when it is inside a triggered event. my suspicion is that i may have a network rights issue? i have triple checked that i am logged in as administrator with full rights. what am i missing? why won't the wav file play within the triggered event? :confused:

It doesn't matter what you are logged in as, it matters (in the case of a triggered event), what the CQC service on the MS is logged in as. Do you have the service on the MS set up to log into an administrative account for which the audio playback setting sare set up correctly? If not, that's probably the issue.

dean, there is only one account on the master server and it is my account as administrator. the cqc login uses this account. should this be adequate?

i'm kinda hoping you say no and "school" on how to do it properly.

alternatively, could i use a unc filepath to direct the playing of the wav file from a different pc (the study pc) and use the output from the study pc for my purposes?

If the service is using that account, then that's correct and if it's not working, then it must be something related to permissions I'd guess, though I'm not sure. Clearly media in general works, since our audio player runs in the same type of scenario. So I'm not sure what would be the issue for playing a Wave. Well, the audio player works directly at the DirectShow level, while the WAV playback uses the simpler higher level stuff, so that might be a difference.
