Short: AHI player supporting lots of formats Author: koehlerthilo@gmx.de (Thilo Köhler) Uploader: support hd-rec de (Thilo Köhler) Type: mus/play Version: 1.5 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Web: http://tkplayer.hd-rec.de ====================== TKPLAYER ====================== ___________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION: ___________________________________________________________ This is a very small player for audio files. It is designed to put it into the deficons of the supported audio formats. It opens no large and expensive GUI, it just plays the audio file quickly, without loading skin graphics or something. It stops playing if you close the small window showing the title and proceeding time. There is also an even more minimalisic version included, that does no output and no options at all, the "TKPlayer_Lite". ___________________________________________________________ REQUIREMENTS: ___________________________________________________________ Hardware: Any Amiga with 4MB of Fast RAM. Software: - OS3.0+ - AHI V4+ ___________________________________________________________ FEATUES: ___________________________________________________________ Plays MP3, AIFF, WAV, MAUD, 8SVX, CDDA and RAW via ahi.device. New: AudioConverter CLI tool for converting audio files (format, bits, channels, samplerate). ___________________________________________________________ INSTALLATION: ___________________________________________________________ Unarchive the LHA file and copy TKPlayer anywhere you want, C: is a good place. Edit your default icons for audio files in ENVARC:Sys/. Set type to "Project" and type for default tool "C:TKPlayer". On doubleclick at these icons the audio file will now be played. Use the Lite version if you dont want a GUI at all, e.g. for playing Samples in your Emailer. That`s all ! ___________________________________________________________ USAGE: ___________________________________________________________ Use from CLI: TKPlayer [?] [] [ahiunit ...] [buffersize ...] [info] [nogui] [speed ...] [offset ...] [pri ...] Parameters: filename - valid DOS filename with path ahiunit - 0..3, unit of ahi.device buffersize - buffersize in milliseconds, default is 250 speed - playback speed in %, default is 100 offset - offset from where to start playback in ms, default is 0 info - display infos in shell nogui - do not open playback window pri - set task priority, default is 2 ? - display this help Example: TKPlayer Work:mp3/mysong.mp3 nogui speed 110 offset 20000 This will play the file "Work:mp3/mysong.mp3" without opening a window at 110% of the original speed, starting at 20 seconds. Deficon: Put it as default tool into the deficons of the supported fileformats and enjoy the audio files by doublick their icons. Same options are available via tooltypes, but CLI args override this. ___________________________________________________________ BUGS AND PROBLEMS: ___________________________________________________________ - no known bugs ___________________________________________________________ HISTORY: ___________________________________________________________ v1.5 - corrected a bug in audioconverter (wav and aiff saver was broken) v1.4 - added parameter ahiunit - added parameter buffersize - added parameter pri - added parameter ? for direct help - some minor bugfixes (as usual) - TKPlayer_Lite does not produce error messages as requesters anymore - added AudioConverter tool as a powerful CLI tool for file convertion ___________________________________________________________ FUTURE: ___________________________________________________________ - more fileformats, especially MIDI files via softsynth Please email bug reports, suggestions or files it refuses to play to support@hd-rec.de
