Hi I'm just confused on what this means. It prints it out every time I start the program. But the program seems to operate normally after..?

jef · 2020-09-20T17:43:26Z

Not sure what's going on here. Can you post your .env?

m1se · 2020-09-20T17:45:01Z

Maybe its related to the naming of the .env file?

Here is a pic of my folder structure with the .env

jef · 2020-09-20T17:47:00Z

I don't think so. I removed my .env and also changed the name, no problems there.

jef · 2020-09-20T17:47:50Z

C:\Users\Jake\Downloads\swiftly.mp3 is more than likely you're problem. I would put that swiftly.mp3 file into the root of the nvidia-snatcher and change that variable to PLAY_SOUND=switfly.mp3.

jdkennedy45 · 2020-09-20T17:50:42Z

Changed that but didn't help anything.
I noticed on npm install I get a warning. Is this impacting it?

npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of webpack@>=1.11.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

CrazyGiant · 2020-09-20T17:58:16Z

I just tried to set it up today, getting the same issue. It does start to check stores after the INFO lines, but it only checks for evga cards?

m1se · 2020-09-20T18:04:06Z

I just tried to set it up today, getting the same issue. It does start to check stores after the INFO lines, but it only checks for evga cards?

You need to edit the .env variable SHOW_ONLY_BRANDS, to include other brands, i.e msi, asus,evga or can leave it blank for it to report any card.

jdkennedy45 · 2020-09-20T18:06:01Z

My program seems to operate normally after the PATTERN INFO pop-ups. But I was just worried I configured something wrong.

chuakc92 · 2020-09-20T18:10:31Z

I'm getting the same. But it is still checking for stock after the fact.

@chuakc92 based off your screenshot, I would remove the SLACK and TELEGRAM related variables as setting those to junk values could throw errors.

chuakc92 · 2020-09-20T18:44:59Z

Responding to @kylekelso's question:
the mplayer still in a zip file. Do you have it elsewhere?

I didn't unzip it because I was unsure if it helps.

kylekelso · 2020-09-20T18:48:37Z

@chuakc92 - It's what is used to play the file. The sound file is played through the command line interface so needs something like mplayer to play the sound.

Just leave the exe in the same path where the zip file is.

chuakc92 · 2020-09-20T18:48:46Z

I removed Slack and Telegram variables and now I'm getting
playing sound
error playing sound: Error: Couldn't find a suitable audio player

chuakc92 · 2020-09-20T18:49:15Z

@kylekelso Okay, let me go ahead and install it

vp-regular · 2020-09-20T18:55:25Z

Per the play-sound documentation:

https://github.com/shime/play-sound

players – List of available audio players to check. Default:
mplayer
afplay
mpg123
mpg321
play
omxplayer
aplay
cmdmp3

Windows (at least 10) doesn't ship with any of these by default. If installing mplayer solves @chuakc92's issue, then looks like we'll need to find some sort of simpler solution for this.

chuakc92 · 2020-09-20T19:08:07Z

I decided to give mpg123 a go instead of mplayer and placed all the files inside the root folder and it finally worked.

chuakc92 · 2020-09-20T19:15:36Z

As an added note, after adding mpg123 to my root folder, my INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s). has decreased from 8 iterations to 2

kylekelso · 2020-09-20T19:17:52Z

@chuakc92 it's because mpg123 is 3rd on the list that @vp-cshow showed. The 2 that show errors are because mplayer and afplay don't exist for you and stops checking when mpg123 is found.

vp-regular · 2020-09-20T19:26:02Z

@kylekelso

Correct. The player has a setting to explicitly define what player to use, so if we distribute this with a player included, we can get rid of the log lines entirely.

It probably wasn't showing for jef because macOS ships with mplayer, @jef can you confirm once you get a chance?

Edit: Confirmed with a friend that mplayer doesn't come w/ macOS by default; I wonder...

jef · 2020-09-20T22:44:32Z

I can try some testing when I get back on my macOS and see what we need to do.

jef · 2020-09-20T23:45:03Z

Nope, not problems on macOS... I just pulled latest.

I also don't have mplayer

❯ where mplayer
mplayer not found

I do have afplay, though. Probably thats it. And Alpine Linux (other rig I use), probably had some dependency down the line.

Using afplay notification.mp3 worked.

vp-regular · 2020-09-20T23:59:35Z

Any ideas then? First two ideas that I can think of are either redistribute a copy of one of the sound playing programs play-sound supports (probably not the cleanest idea...) or just open a youtube video instead (seems redundant since we're opening a page anyway).

jef · 2020-09-21T00:29:32Z

Well... Let me try on the windows computer and go from there.

kevhardy · 2020-09-21T03:56:41Z

If you add additional player options to the play-sound library you can customize it to open any program you want as long as it can open via the command line. VLC does work through the command line but will require to you add it to your PATH to make it work anywhere. Here is a guide on how to add it to your path on Windows.

Once it's in your PATH, it should work find when you pass in that player to your play-sound library when you initialize is like so:

const player = playerLib({ player: 'vlc' });

This has worked for me so far, however it's not a very elegant solution considering you have to manually add the program of your choice to your PATH. This should work with windows media player as well but I have not tried it.

scyto · 2020-09-21T17:29:45Z

Ok, here is what i see - there is one INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s). for each player I think.

If one copies cmdmp3win.exe to the root of the folder AND renames to cmdmp3.exe then you will go from having 8 errors to 7 errors - i don't know if this means the sound will play!

Maybe feature request is to say what player is being looked for and if no player is installed say no player installed. I have no idea how to code so cant contribute to doing that, sorry.

Link to player i got FWIW https://lawlessguy.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/update-to-a-command-line-mp3-player-for-windows/

scyto · 2020-09-21T18:17:10Z

more info:

lack of any player executable generates 8 of these messages
if just an exe called mplayer.exe is present no errors are generated
if just an exe called omxplayer.exe is present only 5 of these errors are generated
if just an exe called cmdmp3.exe is present only 7 of these errors are generated

note the only one of these that is a real player was cmdmp3.exe - the rest were fake files.
i have no idea what this means, just more info as requested

scyto · 2020-09-21T18:24:42Z

ok possible fix

download mplayer from here and either add to your path variables or extract contents into the root of you project http://mplayerwin.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

this was from shime/play-sound#39

no idea if it works, no idea how to force a test; i have both mplayer and cmdmp3 in root of my project now and all INFO messages have disappeared.

Cturner44 · 2020-09-22T19:01:54Z

I decided to give mpg123 a go instead of mplayer and placed all the files inside the root folder and it finally worked.

i did this and i'm still getting error playing sound: Error: Couldn't find a suitable audio player

unzipped and extracted the mpg123 folder to the root nvidia-snatcher folder.

MGraefe · 2020-10-23T11:35:57Z

ok possible fix

download mplayer from here and either add to your path variables or extract contents into the root of you project http://mplayerwin.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

For me just pasting the single mplayer.exe file into the root folder of nvidia-snatcher was enough, no need to copy all contents of the mplayer zip file.
