Playing Streaming Audio

[Guest Simon Luttrell]

Hi - I'm thinking about a new application, but I'm not sure if VG can handle it. I want callers to dial into my server which will then connect to some streaming audio url (such as an internet radio station), and play this back to the caller.

 

Possible??

 

Thanks

Can't play streaming audio sources directly.

 

But what you could probably do is play write an application which saves the steamed audio to series of sound files, and VG would just play those sound files one after another...

what about playing wave files from an http location. I have tried using http://somedomain/somewave.wav but it did not work. Any surggestions? or it cant be done. thanks

No. The sound file must be on local hard drive, or on a mapped hard drive.

 

If you want to play files from the internet yon would need to setup a VBScript to download the file first to local hard drive and then play it.
