System.PlaySound MP3s

Post by jlutsky »

Any idea why System.PlaySound works with .wav files, but not with .mp3 on my windows server 2012 box? Any way to get EventGhost to play an .mp3?

The action eg.plugins.System.PlaySound() uses simle player from wx library, which supports only (short) wav files.

I'm using for this purpose an external player. Most suits me CrystalWolf Audio Player.

Are there any command line parameter to auto hide and close CrystalWolf?

In EventGhost environment, it is not necessary to look for command line parameters:
