Bass Bytes2Seconds?

Hi.

I need some help with the BASS wrapper. I am using BASSex at the moment.

Basically, to get the playback seconds of a mp3, you need to put in the main loop the following:

Position = BASS_ChannelGetPosition (Stream)
Seconds = BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds(Stream,Position)

(where Stream is the Bass stream playing).

Everything is correct if I just use the first line, to get Bytes played, but as soon as I add ChannelBytes2Seconds everything goes crazy and the app crashes.

I've noticed that if I put the variable "Seconds" as float, the result I have is something like 2.82343e+011...

What am I doing wrong????

Thanks

Seconds *should* be a float.

See the header files?



Also note that pos is a QWord ( QuadWord or in other words a 64 bit integer. ) I don't know if that is causing you problems or not, but it might. You might be feeding an incorrect position value because you're only passing a 32 bit int.

If that's it, you'll need to fake a 64bit value. I expect someone has written something to do this.

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks a lot for the answer.

I will have a look at that, as it might well be where the problem lies...

Did you found the way to convert blitz integer into qword?

I'm currently working on BASS decls for 2.3 version of BASS lib. Some functions need qwords:
BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds
BASS_ChannelGetLength
BASS_ChannelGetPosition
BASS_ChannelSeconds2Bytes
BASS_ChannelSetPosition
BASS_ChannelSetSync

I've found the way to solve this problem.
If you need to pass QWORD value just change DECLS like this:

BASS_ChannelSetPosition Handle%, Pos ;<--QWORD, so does not work, because blitz does not support 64bit inegers

write like this:
BASS_ChannelSetPosition Handle%, Pos, Pos2

And use this function like this:
BASS_ChannelSetPosition MusicChannel, 12345, 0

You will pass lo value of 64bit qword, hi value will be set to 0.
It will be enough for usual music tracks.

Functions like BASS_ChannelGetLength or BASS_ChannelGetPosition will recieve lo 32 bit, but it is enough for usual needs too.
