#41 Selecting Music file in Extras - File not found

[Anonymous]

Good morning Frank,

I think I found another bug. If an entry has music files in the extras whenever I click on them I get a file not found error. I have triple checked that the file is actually there and the path and spelling are correct. The terminal shows trying to open..., opening...assigning the correct music emulator but Play Music shows null then I get the file not found. I am using DeadBeeF as the music emulator and it works fine when I try to run a music file using the play button beside the play game button on the left of the interface. I also manually opened the audio files through DeadBeeF and they play fine. I also used the Extras...option in the edit menu to ensure correct files were assigned.

This is the ZXSpectrum GameBase. I also saw the same behaviour in the Megadrive GameBase with an mp3 file in the extras. The files themselves are not zipped.

I attached a screenshot. All the files on the lower right are audio files...not sure why there icons are showing as movies and books.

Any help would be appreciated and thank you for your continued work on this excellent project

Hello Chad,

it' working for me. For example "SpeccyMania4/Morris Meets the Bikers" has an mp3 attached; plays without a problem.
I added a new game to C64lite and added an mp3 as extra, it's working.

Please check your setup; if the problem persists please find a non working case in C64lite or C64 database.

Thanks and best regards,
Frank

No problem I don't consider this a huge issue. So I tried the mp3 you mentioned above as well as in the C64 database. All MP3s played fine. The funny thing is I had no music player setup for mp3s in either of those databases. It just opened itunes. (default system mp3 player). if i added a music emulator for mp3 to either of the databases I get the file not found error. I removed my music emulator from the zx spectrum database and now all the ay music extras open fine using DeaDBeeF (system default ay player). But by deleting the music emulators the play button (by the play game button on the left side of the interface) gives the error no associated music player.
