Question about sound mapping & sound-mapping.xml

bluphant · 2008-05-20, 09:33 PM

Hey all-

I'm taking some time to clear my brain from real work, and I was looking at my PVR configuration. Specifically, I'm wondering about the sound-mapping.xml file -- Is there any documentation anywhere about how this works?

After some digging, I located this in \Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\media\sounds - along with the simple click.wav file. At a glance, it seems like it is straightforward enough, just wondering how far the names can go? For example, would there be an extension point for say "pause", etc.

Thanks, and if I've overlooked something in the wiki, feel free to throw things at me and/or call me a n00b Smile

No, they can only be mapped to keys. If you run showkey.exe and press a key, it'll show you the string name of that key that can be used in the sound-mapping.xml file.

Rock, thanks. Gonna play with this when I get home.

What a nice enhancement. Only question I have now - it seems like sounds don't get processed during playback, is that by design?

Yes.

1.2.13 upgrade restored this file back to its previous state. Back to showkey.exe.....

Yes, sorry. You'll need to remember to back that file up before any future upgrades. Its always overwritten with the file from the release.

Tnx sub. Once I get this whipped back into shape, would it be appropriate for me to attach here so that others can use it? (XML + a few wav files)

Yeah that'd be fine. I'm sure some others would find it useful.

Here it is -- this is the sounds xml file along with three new sounds.
