Sounds like a plan. We should maybe also limit the length of tracks (15s or so).
I was actually going to do two things in addition to this:
That should stop it being irritating for people in the main room, and people in the rest of the space.
Perhaps we should just rate limit sounds by length? A coin ding would fine for every entrance, a 1-up every hour and a 15s theme tune twice a day? That'll encourage people to use shorter sounds without breaking everything.
That is a good plan. I like that plan. Some kind of scaled timeout based on sound length that kicks in over 5s?
So I did a find *.wav | xargs soxi -D
in the /home/glados/wavefiles/members
to figure out what was the avg length of the files in there
Percentile | Length (Sec) |
---|---|
1th | 0.225 |
5th | 0.397 |
25th (LQ) | 0.605 |
50th (Median) | 1.01 |
75th (UQ) | 6.12 |
90th | 13.5 |
Possible solution from Cadmus:
import subprocess
# Working Sox Pipe
# time sox /media/library/Music/The_Terrible_Secret_Of_Space.mp3 -t wav - trim 0 00:05 | --norm sox -t wav - -t wav - | aplay
trunc_p = subprocess.Popen(["sox", "/media/library/Music/The_Terrible_Secret_Of_Space.mp3", "-t", "wav", "-", "trim", "0", "00:05"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
norm_p = subprocess.Popen(["sox", "--norm", "-t", "wav", "-", "-t", "wav", "-"], stdin=trunc_p.stdout, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
play_p = subprocess.Popen(["aplay"], stdin=norm_p.stdout)
play_p.wait()
Also apparently just a single sox command works: "sox --norm file.foo -t wav - trim 0 00:05 | mplay".
And you can do sox -qd to play it.
Looks like we also need remote volume control, as the required volume varies a lot between a Tuesday evening and a quiet afternoon.
Hi all,
Had idea and spoke to few people about it and they like the idea.
Basically have a check on the card sounds, as we now have the yard and people will be coming in and out to get stuff. Can we add a line of code that when you tap in it checks if the audio has been played in the last hour, if it has been played, do not play again, if not, play audio.
