How to get sounds and video played from farmerswife?

Modified on Wed, 5 Feb, 2020 at 1:21 PM

farmerswife can also provide audio and video playback for certain functionality, see examples below.

For this to work, this required Apple QuickTime (QT) to be installed on any computer running the farmerswife Client desktop application.

But QT is no longer supported.

For this functionality to work, we have tested and verified that this works on Windows or Mac using this:

"VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols."

From here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Audio examples:

fw Client > Login "chime" or "Reminder"

=> same file as within any fw Client installation within /lib/sounds: reminder.wav

fw Client > Dispatch > "Check Out" or "Check In" window > Barcode scan "bleep" or fail "blurprrrr" ...

=> same file as within any fw Client installation within /lib/sounds: barcode_ok.wav

=> same file as within any fw Client installation within /lib/sounds: barcode_fail.wav

Video examples:

Edit Project window > Show Files > legacy "Clips"

Edit Media window > Edit Entry window > legacy "Clips".
