DVDpedia: Chime on BT search...

[hoju]

Hi,

I'm using a Bluetooth scanner in DVDpedia, and when "adding multiple" titles, it chimes on every completed search.

Now, I like to have some music playing during this brainless task, but that chime is very loud and intrusive. Is there any way to turn it off, or at least, lower its volume?

I've searched the manual, the forums, and looked at my Mac's system preferences to no avail.

Thanks!!

I updated the beta version of DVDpedia and you can now go to your Terminal and enter the following hidden preference to disable the chime (will still beep if not found, to let you know to search by title).

Code: Select all

defaults write com.bruji.dvdpedia "NoBeepOnAdd" -bool YES

Awesome! Thanks very much, Conor! I'll try it out

Hi Conor,

I've tried this out and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm still getting the chime.

I can confirm that I am using the beta version of DVDpedia, and that the Terminal command was successfully executed.

I do still have the non-beta version of DVDpedia installed (but not running).

Any thoughts?

There is only one other morse beep and that should be off by default and needs to be turned on with another secret preference but just in case run:

Code: Select all

defaults write com.bruji.dvdpedia "BeepOnMultipleAdd" -bool NO

To avoid confusion I have re-uploaded DVDpedia and it's build 36. You will find the build number under the about box in the DVDpedia menu. Having the regular version around will not affect the beta version.

If you are hearing the beep from your system preferences that would be the not found beep that will still play, but not the beep that plays for each scan; that should be completely disabled with the above pref.
