Play specific files on condition

[kiliw]

Hello everyone,

thanks for the great library, setup was easy and very well documented. I got the player-sdfat-i2s example up and running. My main goal is to have a function (something like playFile(pathToFile)) to play a specific file once a criteria is met (like a button press).
First, I disabled the AutoNext and then selected the desired file with player.setPath("/01/001.mp3")

  player.setPath("/01/001.mp3");
  player.setAutoNext(false);
  
}

void loop() {
  
  player.copy();
  
}

Result: I can listen to this file, once. So far, so good.

What I prefer to have is

  player.setAutoNext(false);
  
}

void loop() {
if(condition1){
playFile("/01/001.mp3");
}  
if(condition2){
playFile("/01/002.mp3");
}  
... 
}

Can someone please point me in the right direction, how to implement this?

I think the player.copy() should run in a while loop as long there is data in the stream for the file.

Best
Kilian

There is no reason why calling player.setPath() in the loop should not work.
Just make sure that it is only called once (and not constantly which would disturb the processing).
