BASS_CONFIG_NET_BUFFER config option

The internet download buffer length. 

BASS_SetConfig(
    BASS_CONFIG_NET_BUFFER,
    DWORD length
);

Parameters

lengthThe buffer length in milliseconds.

Remarks

When streaming in blocks (BASS_STREAM_BLOCK flag set), this config option determines the download buffer length. When the download rate is restricted (BASS_STREAM_RESTRATE flag set), it determines how much data needs to be buffered before the restriction applies. The effective buffer length can actually be a bit more than that specified, including data that has been read from the buffer by the decoder but not yet decoded.

Together with the BASS_CONFIG_NET_PREBUF config option, this config option also affects how much data is pre-buffered before playback begins.

The default setting is 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds). Changes only affect streams that are created afterwards, not any that already exist.

The BASS_CONFIG_THREAD flag can be used to make the setting specific to the current thread. When that is not 0, it will override the global setting in the current thread.

As well as internet streams, this config setting also applies to "buffered" user file streams created with BASS_StreamCreateFileUser.
