Hey guys,
I'm pretty new here so I apologize for any dumb questions.
I am trying to make an exhibit where a user will step on a pressure pad and depending on what pad video and audio will play on a screen.
I have done a bit of research and experimented a bit but everything doesn't work.
I really want to have this prototype working but I have no clue where to start...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,

@Nickqdude In Pd playing audio is a simple task.
Playing a video without an audio track is a simple task if you have the Gem library installed correctly and working.
Playing a video with audio embedded is not possible.
The audio will have to be stripped from the video and synced and played separately.
So if you have audio embedded in a video file it is easier to pass that off to another player.

Pads..... you will need another device (arduino, RPI etc.) that has, unlike your standard computer, input capability for reading switches.

What have you done so far and what doesn't work?
What hardware are you using?
If your actual Pd patch is not working as you expected then please upload it so we can see the problem.
David.

@Nickqdude This suggestion is probably blasphemy, but you can buy it fully built and tested from Frightprops

@Nickqdude Like David said, it's not easy (maybe there is a way with Ofelia https://github.com/cuinjune/Ofelia). You can also use ffplay or VLC or... using OSC or [shell].

Here's my patches (one for audio the other one for video): http://pdpatchrepo.info/patches/patch/16

Good luck

Hey David
I have figured out the arduino and pressure pad issue, now All I need is the PD part to work. As simple as it looks would this work? Assuming the Bang I placed was swapped out with the pressure pad input? Idea 1.pd

@Nickqdude Included below is my New Patch. I have been able to get it to kinda work. However, I am struggling to get the audio files to play at the moment. I want three different audio files to play when the selected number is chosen. PD Patch.pd

@Nickqdude patch.pd
The audio files must be in be same folder as the patch.
They can be somewhere else but the path would need to be added to the "open" message.
David.
