Bass udf simple functions, i got lost

[careca]

Hey ppl, sound udf seemed buggy, some files wouldn't play, so i decided to switch to bass udf, so far i can play, pause, and stop playback of all sound files i need, problem is that i can't get the playback position and total length, nor the seek function, it's getting even harder because i didn't integrate the library in scite... so i don't get help, syntax help that is.

Searched around the forum, and couldn't find anything useful, is there some place i can check the basic functions and how they are implemented?

greetz.

EDIT:

what i tried to do, that didn't work..

$File is the file playing

$Slider1 is the slider

$SliderL = _BASS_ChannelGetLength($File, $BASS_POS_BYTE)
    $SliderP = _BASS_ChannelGetPosition($File, $BASS_POS_BYTE)
    $SliderC = $SliderP / $SliderL * '100'
    GUICtrlSetData($InfoT, _BASS_ChannelGetPosition($File, $BASS_POS_BYTE) & "" & _BASS_ChannelGetLength($File, $BASS_POS_BYTE))
    GUICtrlSetData($Slider1, $SliderC)

Seems like i got it almost working, problem was the handle, but now i got miliseconds, and have to convert these to hour,min,sec.

Anyone has a snippet on this?

You can get the position of where the playing song is by using something like this, modify to your needs

Local $SetTime1 = _BASS_ChannelGetPosition($File, $BASS_POS_BYTE)
Local $Length = $iSetTime
$Pos = _BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds($File, $SetTime1)
$Minutes = Int($Counter / 60)
$iSeconds = Int((($Counter / 60) - $Minutes) * 60)
If $iSeconds <> $iSeconds1 Then
    GUICtrlSetData($Slider1, " " & $Counter)
    $iSeconds1 = $iSeconds
EndIf

The return from _BASS_ChannelGetPosition is in bytes, not seconds or milliseconds. You need to convert the bytes returned into seconds with the second function above, then convert the seconds into minutes/seconds etc.

Hi, yeah, that comes a bit too late, but thanks, maybe you can help with my next problem...seek.

the bar moves, and i got the time rolling, what would be the direction to go?

What i've done:

$Pos = _BASS_ChannelGetPosition($MusicHandle, $BASS_POS_BYTE) ;$PosB)
$Lenght = _BASS_ChannelGetLength($MusicHandle, $BASS_POS_BYTE) ;$LenghtB)
;$InfoV = GUICtrlRead($Info)
$SliderC = $Pos / $Lenght * '100'
GUICtrlSetData($Slider1, $SliderC)
If $Play = 1 Then
If $Pos = $Lenght Then
NextFile()
EndIf
EndIf

;=============================================================================

$ConvP = _BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds($MusicHandle, $Pos)
$ConvL = _BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds($MusicHandle, $Lenght)

;=============================================================================

$pHour = Int($ConvP / 3600)
$pMin = Int(($ConvP - $pHour * 3600) / 60)
$pSec = $ConvP - $pHour * 3600 - $pMin * 60

$lHour = Int($ConvL / 3600)
$lMin = Int(($ConvL - $lHour * 3600) / 60)
$lSec = $ConvL - $lHour * 3600 - $lMin * 60

GUICtrlSetData($InfoT, StringFormat('%02d:%02d:%02d', $pHour, $pMin, $pSec) & "" & StringFormat('%02d:%02d:%02d', $lHour, $lMin, $lSec))

Look at _Bass_ChannelSetPosition, once you move to a new position, you have to figure out what that equals in minutes and seconds, convert it to seconds, then convert that to bytes with _BASS_ChannelSeconds2Bytes.

BTW, unless you have some REALLY long songs, you'll never need the hours portion.

Thank you, this pointed me in the right direction!
