Hello!

Idk how I should show my code so I will just explain it for now:

I'm making a program where you can search for and play sounds. I use playsound and threads until now. But I wanted to add an option to stop sounds. For that I switch to playsound3 because than I can use .is_alive() and .stop() to accomplish my goal (first pic).
Whole structure:

  1. a thread is started with a variable containing filepaths
    2.the filepaths are separated into their own "sub"threads and added to a list -> in a for loop they are .start()-ed and .join()-ed so the main thread waits
  2. inside the "sub"threads playsound is called
  3. once every subthread returned the main thread returns
  4. in the main loop there is the second pic's code that joins finished main threads

But after this change the code now waits for the main thread to join.

Hope this is understandable.

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

What do I do with the pastebin?

Why do you need threads ?

serene mulch
#

It's a "leftover" from when I used normal playsound()

#

And I didn't change it since it should have worked the same

Honeslty I don't know what your main threads block

#

But if you don't need threads anymore it will be way easier to remove everything
