How to play sound from URL adress by code

[MarceloF]

Hello Ninjas

I would like to provide my customers a special alerts sounds.
O need to play sounds from a specific URL adress, for example, now I use this code:
PlaySound(NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir + @"sounds\Alert4.wav");
I need to play like this:
PlaySound("http://ninjaconnectbrasil.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Activated-shutdown-system-after-closing-position.wav");

This simple way is not working, and dont show any message, do you have some code idea to help me??

Thanks

Hello MarceloF,

Thanks for your post.

A URL address cannot be passed into the PlaySound() method. The PlaySound() method requires a local file to be used.

You would need to download the sound file and then use the local path of that file when calling the PlaySound() method.

Note that the underlying framework used to play the sound requires the audio file to be in PCM .wav format.

See this help guide page for more information and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../playsound.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.
