mp3 playback inside APEX?
572312Dec 1 2009 — edited Dec 1 2009Hi,
In my head spins the idea for an APEX-application to connect my profession and my hobby (in my rare spare time I use to be a square dance caller).
But, ... for this I need the possibility to play mp3 files from inside APEX. I tried to search this forum but did not really succeed.
Basically, the rough idea is as follows:
- Have a laptop with an Oracle database (XE for the start) and APEX installed. This will normally work stand-alone, with no internet-connection
- store my records as mp3 BLOBs in the database, together with many additional information
like lyrics, date purchased, dates/events used, preferred playback settings (i.e. speed, volume, pitch ) .... and much more
Edit: I could also store the file in the filesystem and put only the filename in the database if this is mor cenvenient.
- have an APEX application to plan and control events (playlists), including the playback of the records (with the stored settings),
display of the record information and the collecting and storing of event-specific information (also from the mp3-player)
I am confident that I'll be able to develop everything - except that playback part!!
So, any help there would be appreciated.
Ralf
Because of its many helpful plug-ins, winamp would be a good choice for the player - but how do I control it from APEX??
