MP3 MP4 files, VLC, and reading Bibles

Oliver Tseng edited this page Jul 5, 2021 · 9 revisions

UBA can support playing mp3 and mp4 files through a VLC player.

Please install the VLC media player.

After you start UBA, it will install the python-vlc module which will support UBA using VLC.

In the Master Control, you will be able to play mp3 music located in the music folder and mp4 videos in the video folder.

You can directly launch the media player through the UI.

You can launch the media player through the commands:

VLC:::
VLC:::music/AmazingGrace.mp3
VLC:::video/ProdigalSon.mp4

UBA supports reading mp3 files for Bible narration.

First download the mp3 files through the menu "Resources/Add/GitHub Bible MP3 Files".


Select the Bible, then select which books you want to download, then press "Download". This will take about a minute to download each book.

To read the book, press the speaker icon next to the chapter number.

You can also execute the command "READBIBLE:::" to read the currently selected chapter.

Installing your own Bible mp3 data file rendition

You can install your own Bible mp3 data files by putting them under the audio/bibles folder.

The mp3 files should be placed under audio/bibles/[Bible Text]/[rendition]/[Chapter number]/ (eg audio/bibles/KJV/my-bible-rendition/40/)

Each file should be a recording of a chapter with the filename "[Book number]_[Name][Chapter number].mp3 (eg 40_Matthew001.mp3). Chapter numbers should be three digits (eg 001).

Execute "READBIBLE:::@my-bible-rendition" to read your custom Bible rendition via command.
