Play .wav file from LUA script

[Mordasius]

I want a LUA script to play a sound when something happens and have tried

SKIN:Bang('!execute [PLAY NewFeed.wav]')

Problem is that it seems to play a default / error sound. What have I done wrong?

Have you upgraded to this week's 2.1 Beta? The PLAY bang was broken in the last one, but should now be fixed.

Have you upgraded to this week's 2.1 Beta?.

Just uploaded Rainmeter-2.1-r912-beta but still get the same Bong! Bong! when the LUA script runs.

Is the SKIN:Bang('!execute [PLAY NewFeed.wav]') the command / statement I should be using?

[jsmorley]

You need the path to the .wav file.

CurrPath = SKIN:GetVariable("CURRENTPATH")
SKIN:Bang('PLAY '..CurrPath..'NewFeed.wav')

NO path is "relative" to the skin in a .lua file, and in any case the PLAY command requires a full filespec.

Or simply SKIN:Bang(PLAY NewFeed.wav).

It's not just you, though. I can't get PLAY to work either; looks like something's still broken on Rainmeter's end.

Thank you Kaelri and JS Morley - It will take me a day or two to catch up with your advice and suggestions, but I'm sure I'll get there in the end.

Many, Many Thanks to both of you..

Whoops, sorry. Somehow I managed to completely miss your message.

This just seems to bring me back to this post. What have I done wrong?

He was linking me to the post he made right before mine, which I missed by being an idiot.
