Hello,

I try to use "playSFX" to play a soundfile. But no matter what I do, it doesn't work

Here is the Code:

python:


import xbmcgui

import xbmc

xbmc.playSFX('special://home/addons/script.hello.world/resources/wavs/set_ok.wav',True)

xbmc.playSFX('special://xbmc/addons/script.hello.world/resources/wavs/set_ok.wav',True)

xbmc.playSFX('/home/pi/.kodi/addons/script.hello.world/resources/wavs/set_ok.wav',True)

xbmcgui.Dialog().notification("Check", "Done", xbmcgui.NOTIFICATION_INFO, 2000)

The wave-file is an place:



There is no error when executing the addon- But also no sound ;(

Whats wrong?

1 there's no need to hardcode the path

python:
import xbmc

import xbmcaddon

import os



path = xbmcaddon.Addon().getAddonInfo('path')

sndfile = os.path.join(path, 'resources', 'wavs', 'set_ok.wav')



xbmc.playSFX(sndfile, True)

2 this settings needs to be enabled:
settings > system > audio > play gui sounds
