Play sound file in RAP [message #754657] Thu, 03 November 2011 19:01 Go to next message

I need to play wav/mp3 in RAP webpage. If I use Java to play local sound file, it will actually play the sound on Server. If I use Javascript to play sound, it must be a sound file on internet. I know I can register the sound file as web resource and play it with Javascript, but that would limit to fixed found files which doesn't meet my requirment. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Xihui

Try SoundManager2, it's a javascript library that uses html5 or flash to play a soundfile clientside.

It looks too complicated to use SoundManager2.

What I want just play a sound file on server in webpage. It should be easy for RAP to provide such a function, isn't it?

Hi,

In my opinion when you use the browser widget, anything you want to do inside this browser widget you have to do with html, JavaScript etc. So you use the browser widget for anything that you can do with a normal browser. So you can point a user to www.google.com or you can write your own HTML pages.

The browser widget is there to encapsulate a browser inside a RAP Application. You should not blame RAP for anything you can or cannot do with a browser.

You can try to use HTML 5 see http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_audio.asp

It is possible to pass data from your Rap Application to the browser by using the BrowserFunction


Regards Bertin

Thank you Bertin, but I'm not blaming RAP.

If I use browser widget and HTML5 like this:
<audio controls="controls">
  <source src="song.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
  <source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mp3" />
  Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>


My questions is where should I put "song.mp3" on the server?

To be clearer, what I want is a function like this:

//Play a server side sound file on client
RAP.playSound("/absolute/path/to/mp3/on/server/");

You need to provide a way to download the file to the browser. See the FAQ[1], but you can replace the anchor tag in the example with the audio tag from above.
