Kenku FM support

[sedgetone]

I’m sure l’m not alone in using Kenku FM with Discord. Having VLC support is useful but it would be nice to have a modern player that is a bit more fully featured. We’d still be able to use Syrinscape with but also gain access to many other sound sources. Please up vote my request.

Voted, Kenku FM is very useful.

Voted, I agree.

I would love it: there's one campaign I run where Syrinscape is not the ideal choice because it's missing sounds and moods that would be theme-appropriate, and instead with Kenku I can use a sound library that I built over the years specifically for that game.

Since Kenku can be controlled via HTTP calls just like Syrinscape, it should be at least possible to integrate it in the new sound context feature:

Question for folks here. I ike kenku but still struggle with quality of discord audio even with the stereo sound. Also find that sounds can cut out a bit for me using it. It might be that I run everything off one laptop and I stream and have multiple sound programs I'm running. Probably just taxing my computer too much. Do others run into similar issues? Right now I'm using vdo.ninja but I keep testing different solutions.

I find it works pretty well on my Windows desktop PC, quality is sometimes a bit hit or miss from my Mac laptop though. I really can't say I've had any problems with it from a desktop machine.

In my case it works rather nicely, the sound quality is pretty good to my untrained ear and I don't notice any sound cut off. What are the specs of your laptop?
Another thing to consider might be the bandwidth, if your internet connection does not have enough bandwidth to manage streaming the sound, using Discord, and running FGU at the same time it might end up cutting sounds every now and then.

Cool. Bandwidth shouldn't be a big issue. I have 1,000 down and 20 up and use an ethernet connection.

My laptop isn't a potato but not top of the line. Intel i7-9750H @2.60 GHz, 16 gb RAM.

Yeah your bandwidth is definitely fine. Honestly your hardware should be fine too for all I know, your CPU is a 6 core with max clock at 4.50 GHz... I assume you already tried shutting down all unnecessary programs and stuff in your system tray when using Kenku FM?
