Are you getting any error messages? You can't expect a solution unless you actually give us an idea as to what could be wrong.

what have you done since they last worked

just as a side note, mIRC doesnt actually play the sounds, it sends the command to windows, which then handles it with media player. You need to give a bitmore info before anyone can help you, but common probs are due to a script, spaces in a file name, files not where options thinks they are, codecs

i havent done anything, all i know is that now any file i try to play in mirc it wont, and before it did(for most of them, not all, this has always been a problem for me, just not to this extent(none playing at all))

* /splay: unable to play 'C:\Documents and Settings\NightChillz\My Documents\My Music\dope\Felons and Revolutionaires\America the Pitiful.wma'
-
* /splay: unable to play 'C:\Documents and Settings\NightChillz\My Documents\My Music\dope\Felons and Revolutionaires\I Am Nothing.wma'
-
* /splay: unable to play 'C:\Documents and Settings\NightChillz\My Documents\My Music\dope\Group Therapy\Today is the day.wma'


now i can open up windows media player or any other media playing device and all those songs will play just fine.

just a thought .. try playing one that don't have a half-dozen (or more) spaces in the path
Posted By: MTec89 Re: /splay bug - 11/12/03 09:39 PM
use " " when spaces are in the path example:

splay "C:\one two\music songs\rap rock\example - works.eh"

If the error gave the whole filename then mIRC is recieveing the whole filename and understanding it meaning he has been using "

Also mIRC doesn't just send it to windows, it first does some error checking of its own.

Like was implicit in a previous reply, maybe these filenames contain consecutive spaces that mIRC isn't seeing..?
Posted By: NightChillz Re: /splay bug - 19/12/03 06:27 PM
i have always enclosed the filename in " " , if i didnt, then the error would be:

/splay 'C:\Documents' no such file


but that isnt the case, i use the whole path, and it will not play ANY of them, the part you guys arent hearing is that it playd them before i posted this, then they just stopped(thus the reason for posting!)

I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about consecutive spaces in the filenames. But since you seem to be sure the filenames didn't change, then that's not the problem either.
