No sound from playStream/playClip Linux

Post by Tratz »

Hey Guys,

I'm using MapTool 1.7.0 built from the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/maptool-bin/

I'm able to write what appears to be a working macro using playClip/playStream that evaluates to "1" but I'm not hearing any music. I tried entering the command directly into the chatbox and it also evaluates to 1 and does not play sound.

Examples:

Code: Select all

[playStream("http://rp.trevdev.ca/Music/hourglass.mp3", 1, 0.5)]
Result:

Code: Select all

playStream("http://rp.trevdev.ca/Music/hourglass.mp3", 1, 0.5) = playStream("http://rp.trevdev.ca/Music/hourglass.mp3", 1, 0.5) = 1
I have yet to test it with someone else using a Windows client or whatever. I checked my Pulse Audio mixer and I don't see an output stream for MapTool when I try to play.

Any ideas?

Hey,

I'm using the same package. Maptools uses JAVAFX media player and to get it working on you need the package ffmpeg-compat-55 from the AUR. Also the URI you provided doesn't seem to exist? Maybe check that as well.

Hope this helps!
