Hi!
There is a Hollywood generated executable which is asynchron started by another Hollywood exe. The main code has a PauseMusic() before the Execute(). The problem is that the "child" task do not play the module. If it runs separately the module is playing.
Is there any workaround for it? Is it normal that the first program is take over ahi in front of the others?

I think PauseMusic() doesn't relinquish control over the AHI drivers. You need to be able to stop the music entirely to relinquish control over PTReplay.library so the child script can access it.

I'm on registered MorphOS using FlowStudio.

Hello Samuel
I did not told but the main program is playing mp3 and the child is supposed to be play a mod. So it seems to me an AHI problem. Would you try to start two Hollywood application which has sound output? Is there sound output from the second one? With my system there is not.
However if I start more than one DvPlayers then I can hear all of the audio.

I'll evaluate the possibilities of creating a version of Hollywood that allows multiple copies of the program playing sound. Currently, this does not seem to be possible with Hollywood 2.5 under OS4. Under MorphOS, one can use a special AHI driver that does on-the-fly mixing if multiple programs write to the audio device. I don't know how OS4 handles this, but at least there's no special driver for it. However, it must be possible under OS4, too, because DvPlayer supports it. I'll check back with the OS4 team on this, and see what I can do for the next version of Hollywood.
