I installed " node-red-contrib-play-soundfile " but can't get it to work. This is a little test flow with a link to my soundfile on D:/ [{"id":"6a739113.f47cd","type":"debug","z":"76a6fe94.1adb4","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVa…

Welcome to the forum @jerxjac . Unfortunately you have only exported one debug node, not the relevant nodes. Mark all the nodes you want to export and then Export. Are you running node-red and the browser on the same computer? Is the file really D:/TEST.mp3? If you have the path to the file some…

Thank you Colin, I just put the mp3 file in D:/TEST.mp3 for testing purpose. If I get it working it will be somewhere else. Tried both D:\ and D:/ [{"id":"47945222.9bd43c","type":"play-soundfile","z":"76a6fe94.1adb4","name":"MP3","directory":"c9ba187.d1a6ee8","file":"TEST.mp3","allow_multiple":tr…

Are you sure the file is called TEST.mp3 and not TEST.mp3.pmp3? I know windows has a habit of hiding file extensions. However it does not work at all for me (on Ubuntu). Perhaps worth trying one of the other playback nodes unless someone here has experience with this node.

No, sorry, I have never done it. Another alternative is to ask the question via an Issue on the node's github page ( GitHub - lutzer/node-red-contrib-play-soundfile: Plays a sound file on the system. Allows to set up a base directory which contains all the sound files. ).

I believe there is a beta node that might let you do that, node-red-contrib-sox-utils uyou won't find it in the Flow yet, so follow the link to get to the announcement and directions for installing it.
