I think Klaus is the player expert, but at any rate, you're the network
expert.
The player audio is a narration and has a constant volume. On opencard,
the filename of the player is set to empty, then loaded with the new
URL, and playback initiated like this:
set the filename of player pPlayerName of cd 1 of me to empty
set the filename of player pPlayerName of cd 1 of me to tFileName
if the result = "" then
set the currenttime of player pPlayerName of cd 1 of me to 1 --
otherwise Windows stutters
start player pPlayerName of cd 1 of me -- required or callbacks
aren't sent
set the playrate of player pPlayerName of cd 1 of me to 1 -- start
it this way, "start" command doesn't always work with http
else
log "Could not play" && pPlayerName && "audio:" && the result
end if
There are no log entries for any errors.
I had some problems with playback before and the list suggested using
"start" instead of "play". Apparently there's a problem with just
"play"; when that was all I used, the player never started up at all
most of the time. We do use callbacks in these, and just using "start"
alone didn't respect the callbacks, but I found that using both commands
allowed callbacks and also started playback.
Maybe there is something going on with that combination, but again, it
works almost 100% of the time. And I myself have never seen a problem,
the report is coming from a couple of testers. Since there's two people
reporting it, it must be more universal than a single user's setup.
Stephen's comment about all the pre/opencard messages is a good one, and
my script adds a couple dozen additional commands to the sequence. I'll
move the audio playback to the very end of all that and see if that
helps. There is a lot going on when a card opens in this stack.
If you have any other ideas, please do tell.

I am very hesitant to say anything, since you are the expert here.
Does the player have a relatively quiet ending? Do you stop the player when
you change cards? Could the currentTime be left in the quiet ending and the
play starting there?
Does the result show an error?

I have a player whose filename is set to an audio URL on the web whenever a
card opens. For 99.9% of the time it works fine but occasionally it does not
play. If the user goes to another card and then returns to the original card,
it does play.
Checking the result after setting the filename shows no errors of any kind.
I have the feeling this is a network issue, but does anyone know what would
cause it to fail?
