playStream(uri, cycleCount, volume)
playStream(uri, cycleCount, volume, start)
playStream(uri, cycleCount, volume, start, stop)
Parameter
uri
- The uri/url of the file. For example, http://www.mywebsite/mysong.mp3 orfile:/C:/mysong.mp3
cycleCount
- The number of times the audio should play. If set to 0, the file is cached but not played; if set to -1, the file is played continuously. Defaults to 1.volume
- The volume the audio is to be played at. Can range from 0 to 1. Defaults to 1.start

- The time offset where audio should stop playing or restart when repeating. Defaults to the end of the audio.
Examples
[playStream(macro.args)]
To play the song, the GM can then use execLink:
[H: songUrl = "http://erinmcnamee.com.hostbaby.com/files/07_No_Sorrow__Banish_Misfortune.mp3"]
[H: audioByte = macroLinkText("playSong@Lib:MusicPlayer", "none", songUrl)]
[H: execLink(audioByte,0,"all")]
Alternatively, the GM can use execFunction:
[H: songUrl = json.append("[]","http://erinmcnamee.com.hostbaby.com/files/07_No_Sorrow__Banish_Misfortune.mp3")]
[H: execFunction("playStream", songUrl, 0, "all")
Dropbox URLs
After creating the dropbox share link you have to replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com. That provides a direct link that playStream can use. Thanks to Full Bleed on the forums for the tip.
Also note that dropbox no longer supports the "http" protocol, and only supports "https". If the "s" is omitted, the sound will not play.
As if 9/1/23 new dropbox files have a different format and can no longer be converted to allow playStream to work. The url link needs to end in .mp3 or other valid file type. An alternate method is to now use a Discord server to file host and copy the link from the post.
Technical Info
The JavaFX docs provide more information about the supported media types. The MapTool macro functions only support the audio types.
