Using Sound in twmnc #82

Closed astralspurs closed 6 years ago

astralspurs commented 6 years ago

Hi there,

I'm trying to put together a simple timer app that dings when a timer has elapsed.

I've tried using the twmnc flag, i.e.: twmnc -t "$msg" -c "$duration minutes have passed" -sc "mpv ~/path/to/sfx.aac"

I've also looked at the "sound_command=" option in twmn.conf, but to not avail. I'm just looking for some more guidance to use sound features in twmn as I haven't been able to find any docs that talk about this.

Thanks for your help.

That's exactly how you should proceed. Don't forget to escape the path in the command, as such: --sc "mpv \"/some/path/file.ext\""
