Table Audio only plays 1 time

[gromit]

I don't know if this is a bug, feature, or setting that I could change, but when I leave any table in 'Attact Mode', the table audio will only play 1 time. After that I get the default 'Pinball Wizard' and then nothing. I would like to have the Table Audio loop just as the Table Video does. This happens for any table that is displayed in 'Attract Mode' for a few minutes. Any way to do this?

Thanks!

Are you using table audio files specifically? If so, you may be able to load them into an audio editor and resave the file to loop.

Or use a video editor and mux in the audio track.

I actually de-muxed it from a topper video. I have added topper videos to all my tables and have been using the audio track for any table that does not have attract mode audio. The topper videos can't play audio in PinballX (for good reason), so I was hoping to do it this way. It just seemed logical that any Table Audio would loop just as the video does.

Draco, I tried looping the audio, but the file size would make it prohibited (multiplied by 100s of files). It would also be alot of work, unless I found a batch audio looper.

The most elegant solution would be to have PinballX loop the Table Audio... is there a reason this would be undesireable? Just curious.

Probably for similar reasons. Submit your idea as a PinballX Feature request.

I would not want it to loop but I can understand why some might.

While browsing if I stay on a table long enough for the audio clip to end that means I havewalked away from the cab

I have to agree with you, Joe.  I prefer the simplicity. Can't get any more simple than that.

Regarding requests for features or enhancements, developers have to weigh whether or not the additional code for has a wide ranging benefit vs. niche, if niche, is the amount of code small enough to warrant the feature addition? Are there other features that are more worth the time to code for a wider audience? Are there current bugs or necessary functional changes that require more time, attention, and code? How much time is available to dedicate to any of this?
