Sound files failing to open sometimes - 1.19 pr 3

Hello guys!

I've got a tour playing one sound background to each scene:

http://www.onzeonze.com.br/clientes/granfinestra_audio/

It's got 12 scenes, each loading a different .ogg file.

Here is my plugin loading code

<plugin name="soundinterface" url="plugins/soundinterface.swf" alturl="plugins/soundinterface.js" keep="true" preload="true" rootpath="" volume="1" onloaded=""/>

Here is the scene code with the event calling the audio files:

<scene name="estar">
 		<events name="scene2events" onxmlcomplete="playsound(scene2sound,  %SWFPATH%/sounds/chovendo.ogg,1);" onremovepano="stopsound(scene2sound);" />
		<preview url="%SWFPATH%/panos/estar_L.tiles/preview.jpg" />		<image stereo="true" stereolabels="L|R">			<cube url="%SWFPATH%/panos/estar_%t.tiles/pano_%s.jpg" />			<cube url="%SWFPATH%/panos/estar_%t.tiles/mobile_%s.jpg" devices="iOS" />		</image>				<hotspot name="hall" style="btn_hall" ath="50" atv="0" rotate="0"  depth="12000" onclick="goto(hall);" />				<hotspot name="jantar" style="btn_jantar" ath="125" atv="0" rotate="0"  depth="12000" onclick="goto(jantar);" />				<hotspot name="cozinha" style="btn_cozinha" ath="100" atv="0" rotate="0"  depth="12000" onclick="goto(cozinha);" />				<hotspot name="lavabo" style="btn_lavabo" ath="65" atv="0" rotate="0"  depth="12000" onclick="goto(lavabo);" />				<hotspot name="suitemenina" style="btn_suitemenina" ath="-20" atv="-5" rotate="0"  depth="12000" onclick="goto(suitemenina);" />				<hotspot name="suitemenino" style="btn_suitemenino" ath="-10" atv="5" rotate="0"  depth="12000" onclick="goto(suitemenino);" />				</scene>

But the problem is that when navigating throught the scenes, sometimes the .ogg file is loaded, sometimes an error message shows:

ERROR: soundinterface - loading of ./sounds/grande.ogg failed!

Thanks Piotr,

I've tried it, replaced %SWFPATH%/sounds/file.ogg with just sounds/file.ogg, and no ./ appeared anymore, but the problem persisted.

What else could it be?

The complete tour.xml file is attached.

Hello spacewirtalne,

Do you think you HTML 5 VR audio plugin would solve my problem?
It would be great if I could test it on my tour.

Still havent found the solution.

You can not get around this for security reasons and limiting of IOS system.

But I'm not using IOS whatsoever?
My problem is on desktop (PC and Mac) and Android

Open this link on your devices and test it.

I've tested it, worked fine. But it doesnt mean my approach will work.

You cannot go around this issue. The user must touch the screen and then sounds begin to play.

Again, my problem has nothing to do with touch screen. It's a failure on loadind the audio files (.ogg in this case). It shows a message of fail to load ***

So, the sound does not work on PC?
I never had such problems with the Klaus soundinterface plugin.

I don't know how to help. What approach do you mean?

Piotr

By approach I mean the way I wrote my tour.xml file.
Please check it out on the attachment.

Thanks!

Hello Piotr,

Thanks for helping me out!
You're a great guy!

I've converted the ogg files to mp3 and changed the 12 playsound commands to the way you wrote.
It looks like its giving less error messages, but they still show up.

Am I right using onnewpano events to start playsound ?

<events name="scene1events" onnewpano="playsound(scene1sound, 'sounds/night.ogg|sounds/night.mp3',1);" onremovepano="stopsound(scene1sound);" />

I've got 12 scenes and one different sound for each, can this be my problem?

Is this the right way to call the plugin?

<plugin name="soundinterface" url="plugins/soundinterface.swf" alturl="plugins/soundinterface.js" preload="true" />

The error message appears when I first open each scene, after that, the sounds are played properly.

Hello Piotr!

On localhost it's OK now, but the online one is still giving errors.

Thansk!
Augusto

I made a test using other webserver and it worked.

Now i'll find out what is the problem with my webserver.

Thanks!
