You can check out this experiment I did http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SeanDeNigris/FMOD . IIRC I used it to play mp3 files.

Thanks peter!
And thanks Stef and Xavier for this great chapter :)

Stef

Maybe this can be of help.

Not sure if there is built version of it somewhere but you can always clone it and build it yourself.

Hello,

I don't care if the file has to be a mp3, a midi or wav file, I just want to play it from Pharo.

A piece of code as example would be nice.

Thanks

Clement

I recently created a simple google translator based text to speech engine, that calls the google webservice, saves the output mp3 in a temp file then plays it. I use the StreamingMP3Sound class from http://www.squeaksource.com/SPDProjectUpdates/ to play files.

Gofer new
    smalltalkhubUser: 'zeroflag' project: 'PhSpeaker';
    package: 'ConfigurationOfPhSpeaker';
    load.
(ConfigurationOfPhSpeaker project version: #development) load.

SoundSystem soundEnabled: true. "enable sounds in Pharo"

(PTGoogleTTS language: 'en') readText: 'Hello world'.

You can check the ConfigurationOfPhSpeaker for the dependencies, and PTGoogleTTS>>playFile: for playing mp3.

Hi Clément,

I don't use any special vm, but the one that comes with Pharo4 (http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo4.0-win.zip). I haven't tried it on mac however, only windows and raspbian.

On the raspberry pi I use this vm with a Pharo5 spur image:

http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3395/cogspurlinuxhtARM-15.26.3395.tgz

Sometimes I got "PrimitiveFailed: primitive #primFileClose: in MPEGFile failed" when I try to close the file, but only after it successfully played it.

I tried your code but the primitive #primFileValidMPEG: fails and Pharo
doesn't read the mp3.

Same for me on Mac 10.9.5. I'm using the VM that comes with Launcher.

Is there a specific plugin you need to compile the VM with ? I am not sure
the Mpeg3Plugin is by default in any VM I have.

I see the Mpeg3Plugin in the Plugins folder. I know I had this working at some point. Maybe the mp3 plugin has deteriorated in newer VMs? Maybe I'll dig up an older VM and see...

the thing is that I compiled that plugin but I never tested it… so there is a good chance it is not working properly and since nobody tried until now, we weren’t aware :(
