URL Playsound Addon :) [2.28v]

 If you modify the umsg string value you can get away with jsut using song.mp3 in the bind
If you have a server that you host things off of, just change the line that says:
    umsg.String(urlsound)
 to umsg.String("http://domainname.serverhostname.com/sounddirectory/" .. urlsound)
my example is:
     umsg.String("http://buttontoucher.site.nfoservers.com/server/sound/" .. urlsound)
Then the bind command I gave you will work
If you don't have a server to host the songs/music from then my way will not work.

The addon is setup so you're supposed to provide the full URL. This way it supports more than one domain (and directory). Surely your method would work, but it's not ideal if he wants to play from different sources as well.

[Stealthycow]

Agreed, I just wanted to provide you with an opportunity to bind the command to a key

I would have to use like http.post to search the entire directory, and grab all songs from that putting it in a listing.

I added this to my files and it showed up great , but none of the URL's are working that I choose. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not updated?

[JamminR]

tianight, I think you have to link directly to gmod compatible sounds
http://blah.blah/song.mp3
(but, I'd have to review the past few pages to verify my memory is serving me)

Are you trying URLs like that?

[Qwerty-Space]

Perhaps you should add in the OP that it supports .wav files, because I tested on and it worked.  Also, would it be possible for the plugin to say how long the audio clip is in the chat?

To my knowledge, no, it is not possible.

I don't have a working Gmod instance installed atm, but I wonder if you could use SoundDuration on a URL instead of a local path. (though wiki does say 'wav' only likely)
I'm betting NOT, but, heck, worth a shot. worst that would happen is ...click....*BOOM*

Sadly, same issue here. I haven't had internet for months now, the only time I have internet is when I come on here and there using my laptop at a friends house, or if I decide to use a hotspot, though typically I just check my email and then get off. I forget to check this every so often, but I realized that sometimes people comment on my stuff...

Anywho, I could try that if I remember to try that whenever I get internet back.. (most likely will forget, and anyone who cares enough can try themselves.)

If you have a URL that is too long (as some people have seem to have had), why don't you just use a website like TinyURL.com, i had incredibly long URLs, but i used this and they work fine.

[Alemismun]

Im new here, how to install?

[JamminR]

I have a problem, the sound stop after 1 or 2 minutes. Why please?

Can you play the URL outside of Gmod using a browser or VLC/MediaplayerClassic and it not stop?
My guess is not that this is so much this addon's fault as it is Gmod, or your provider hosting the file losing connection.

[Bite That Apple]

To my understanding of how outside sourced audio works in gmod, is it loads it to the server first, then plays it for the client. I could be wrong, as I haven't looked too much into it, but I think I remember something like that happening to me every so often on certain songs. I can't remember though, so oh well.

Looks noice, keep up the good work
