Hi!

Not sure to understand what you're asking... is it some sort of streaming feature you're suggesting?
It is possible to script that using sockets and low packets size.
And remember, mIRC is an IRC client :P

Cheers!

I believe they mean using a path such as \\NetBIOS_Name\files\music\blah.mp3

The best way to find out is to try it. I don't believe it was added, because I don't remember seeing it in the versions.txt--I could of course be wrong.

Network paths works

Not for me.

* /splay: no such file '\\comp\share\bkup\My Music\All\music.mp3'
Posted By: Cheech Re: playing files from network - 08/02/04 06:55 PM
C:\blah\blah\blah\big music - big music.mp3 can be played using
/run C:\blah\blah\blah\big music - big music.mp3

i prolly should answer less questions as i usually dont understand what they are asking for if this doesnt apply sorry smile

i got the same reply.

/splay: no such file '\\comp\share\bkup\My Music\All\music.mp3'

bahahahaha no actually i got

* /splay: no such file '\\Towerpc\F Drive\MP3'S\Z\ZZ Top ~ Viva Las Vegas.mp3'

and i then used the same same path to play the file from explorer, just to make sure it was valid.

$isfile(\\netpath..) does work
/run \\netpath does work

/splay \\netpath won't work if the file is an .mp3 (always says "no such file"), but does work if its an .ogg file

must be the routine used to play mp3's i doubt that it was hand written, rather some mp3 play routine welded in, and it must not deal with netpaths. Bit sad, but liveable i guess.

Did you try using the -p switch? I can't test this here, I don't own a network..
