Media file

Select this radio button to indicate that Alarm++ should play a media file when the alarm goes off.

Click the Browse button to choose a media file. This button is disabled if your system does not support audio or video.

You can also drag and drop the media file you want to play onto the dialog box; Alarm++ will automatically enter its path in the appropriate field. Drag and drop is disabled if your system does not support audio or video.

Click the Play button to play the media file you selected. This button is disabled if your system does not support audio or video.

Repeat until acknowledged

When you check this option, Alarm++ will repeat the specified media file until you acknowledge the event (by clicking any button on the event dialog box).

This can only be selected if the alarm displays the event window.
