Unable to play

[ThatTonybo]

I've run into an error when I try to run this code.

let player = require('play-sound')(opts = {});

player.play('Haywyre - Contagious.mp3', function (err) {
    if (err) throw err;
});

INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

Is anyone able to provide some insight into this?

I have Win10 with mplayer installed and my PATH set to mplayer's directory.

In my case, the problem seemed to be that play-sound was looking for mplayer. And, although, mplayer can be found from Command Prompt terminals, the same is not true for Bash terminals.

For Bash, what works, instead, is mplayer.exe.

So, the solution for me was...

const playSoundPlayers = [
  'mplayer',
  'afplay',
  'mpg123',
  'mpg321',
  'play',
  'omxplayer',
  'aplay',
  'cmdmp3'
];
const players = playSoundPlayers.concat(playSoundPlayers.map(x => `${x}.exe`));

player.play(mp3File, {players: players}, (err: any) => { });
