Android Question StreamBuffer Percent Error

[shashkiranr]

Hi,

Im using MediaPlayerStream to stream an audio from internet. Everything works but the percentage buffered retrieved in the sub

Sub Audio_Stream_StreamBuffer(Percentage As Int)
    Log(Percentage)
End Sub

is always 0... i tried with different mp3 files and still it shows 0 but the audio streams properly.

I tried the same links using a sample project obtained from internet in eclipse and i get the proper stream percentage.

Is this a bug in B4A ?

Regards,
SK

Can you post all of the code?

Here is the code Erel

Sub Process_Globals
End Sub

Sub Globals
      Dim audio As MediaPlayerStream
   
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    audio.Initialize("audio")
        audio.Load("http://www.rekard.com/abhyas/tracks/sriguruguha/with_click/Srigiruguha_C_80_With_Click.mp3")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume
 
End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
 
End Sub

Sub audio_StreamReady
    Log("starts playing") 
    audio.Play
End Sub

Sub audio_StreamError (ErrorCode As String, ExtraData As Int)
    Log("Error: " & ErrorCode & ", " & ExtraData)
    ToastMessageShow("Error: " & ErrorCode & ", " & ExtraData, True)
End Sub

Sub audio_StreamBuffer(Percentage As Int)
Log(Percentage)
End Sub

Sub audio_Complete
    audio.Stop
End Sub

The event does fire on the device I tested it. Though the information is not really useful. I guess that it depends on the specific stream protocol.

Note that audio should be a process global variable and only initialized when FirstTime is True.

That was the mistake !! I declared in Process_Globals and it worked . Thank you Erel. I wanted to use the media streamer with seekbar hence needed the percentage of buffered stream.
