Audio Player : Not Playing : Stumped

Hello out there!

Total Noob here having issues with getting the Audio Player Plugin to work. And I haven’t found any useful threads of info to assist me (I could be totally missing it though). Here is what I have, and how I’m doing it (or…not doing it):

For reference, this is what the section on the page in my app looks/operates like:

  1. When the page loads, the AUDIO Horizontal repeating group looks like this:
    image

  2. When you hover over any image in each of the cells, a play button appears:
    image

  3. When you click on the play button, a pause button appears (and stays there):
    image

Now then…

Once the Audio Player Plugin was installed, i dropped it on the page, and hid it behind everything in the first cell of the horizontal repeating group. Then changed the Dynamic Link to:
image

…this points towards the audio file, that is in the Datatype for the audio file, which is then in the datatype for the entire audio post.

Then in the my workflows… I have put an additional step in the workflow for when the “Play Group” is clicked (reference the above screen shot) that the player…plays the audio file.

I’m missing something here as nothing is playing or happening.

Alright. I’m stuck. Any help would be rad.

Hi, @mtastwo!

Thanks for reaching out!

As far as I can see from your screenshots, you are telling the plugin to play the song but he doesn’t’ understand which one. The action Play Audioplayer A works when the plugin gets the specific song (for instance the data source pointing to 1 specific file) or the list of songs from the RG. It means, you sending not a current cells song, but the whole list of songs from the RG.

If you need to play a specific song from the current cell then use the action- Play from index Audioplaeyr A. In this case, the plugin will know what specific song should be played. Please visit the editor of our plugin in order to give a glance of how the workflow is set: https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=audioplayer&id=zeroqode-demo-05&tab=tabs-1

Hope this helps!
