Hi there, Many moons ago, I used to write programs in GWBasic. Could write a program to do almost anything.
Recently I decided I wanted some programs to do some clever things with media. But heres where i come unstuck. I cant program in basic without line numbers. It makes no sense to me.
So finding the right basic for me has been tricky, but when i find one, none seem to be able to call a media file from the pc. Hopefully someone here can tell me, YEAH PC basic will do it. or boo, sorry for you, but try ......
Or, if i even lucky, someone will say, not now, but working on it.
I would like to start my programming adventure, by making a jukebox program that will play mp4 music videos.
Anyway, Thoughts and Ideas anyone?
Cheers

Unfortunately there is no functionality in PC-BASIC to open media files, and I don't have plans to add it. QB64 does seem to have such things built in, and while it does not require line numbers, you can use them if you want to. See here: https://www.qb64.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

In GWBASIC when I try to LOAD a program it can not find it. If I click on the program file it runs fine. However, I want to LOAD the program so then I can LIST it and make some changes to it. I used to be able to do this, but something changed. The GWBASIC program used to be in the same general file as all the programs, but I had to reinstall GWBASIC and it put it in a different location on my computer. Thanks for your help.
