How to stop playback before any sound

[CarlitoGil]

I want to play some files with an external application.

How can I stop a song from playing before any sound is played?

Code: Select all

Call Script.RegisterEvent(SDB,"OnPlay","EventOnPlay")

Sub EventOnPlay()
	SDB.Player.Stop() ' By the time this is called it has already played a second or so
End Sub

Couldn't you just mute MM? You can do this by setting the SDB.Player.Volume to 0.

The script should be conditional.
Only SOME files would be stopped.
Mute would affect all files.

According to SDB.Player.IsStartingPlayback, it seems we have to wait (and can't do anything) until playback has begun:

Maybe it should be suggested as a new event for MM4, OnBeforePlay

How about setting MM to play through an external player?
Tools | Options | Player > Choose player = *.exe

I occasionally use this setting to use QCDPlayer.exe instead.

Whoa, I didn't remember that setting
