Blender Render Complete? Play Sound!

A super-simple, super-lightweight plugin for Blender that plays a user-defined audio file when a render completes.

Got a scene that'll take a while to render but isn't quite big enough to warrant offloading onto a third-party service?
Need to know when your render is done, but don't want to keep checking just in case it finished up since you checked a minute ago? (I mean... it might have done...)

Maybe this plugin can help.

How to use

1. Install and enable the "Blender Render Complete? Play Sound!" plugin
2. Either leave the default audio file in place or choose one of your own
3. Render!

Notes

• I've only been able to test this on Windows but it should work for MacOS and Linux versions of Blender too
• Supported audio filetypes should include any that Blender supports
• This was my first foray into Python, so the code is likely awful!

A few months ago I found that I was either spending every other minute checking render progress, or forgetting I had one running and not realising it had finished for a good few hours (the curse of mid-tier hardware?). I wasn't keen on either option, so I tried my hand at making a plugin to solve my issue.

The code for this plugin is also available on GitHub. Something I wish I realised while making it was that it's actually pretty similar to Jason van Gumster's Render Music plugin... So maybe take this as a version made for Blender 3.0+ (without the hold music option)?
