Musical choice 1
This is a fictional html page to explain the sound sample controlled by the start and stop buttons on this page. In the real world this page could be an external web page if the kiosk machine is connected to the internet. The sound sample itself must come from the local machine, not an external uri.
Some points to note are:
- This html is called from the musickiosk1.xul document and is displayed in that document. You'll need to edit the musickiosk1.xul to call the propper file on your machine. As shipped the musickiosk1.xul calls the 'play' program and passes the filename/path to a sample on my machine.
- The sound that is played comes from a file on the local machine.
- This is only a rough demo of the concept of a multimedia kiosk.
- This is only tested on linux. The main part of this is starting external programs to handle the actual multimedia file. This should work fine for any system/program that lets you start/stop applications from the commandline with arguments.
