Creates a sample stream from a local HLS playlist.

HSTREAM BASS_HLS_StreamCreateFile(
    DWORD filetype,
    void *file,
    QWORD offset,
    QWORD length,
    DWORD flags
);

Parameters

filetypeOne of the following.
BASS_FILE_NAMEfile is a filename. This is the default if none is specified.
BASS_FILE_MEMfile points to a memory block, which will be read from directly, so it needs to stay valid for the lifetime of the stream.
BASS_FILE_MEMCOPYfile points to a memory block, which will be copied, so it does not need to stay valid beyond this function call. This requires BASS 2.4.18 or above.
BASS_FILE_HANDLEfile is a file handle (HANDLE) on Windows or a file descriptor (int) on other platforms, and should be seekable. It will be duplicated, so the original can be closed whenever wanted but it should not be used to access the file while the stream is. This requires BASS 2.4.18 or above.
fileThe file as described by filetype.
offsetFile offset to begin reading from.
lengthMaximum read length... 0 = to the end of the file.
flagsA combination of these flags.
BASS_SAMPLE_FLOATUse 32-bit floating-point sample data. See Floating-point channels for info.
BASS_SAMPLE_3DEnable 3D functionality. The stream must be mono. The SPEAKER flags cannot be used together with this flag.
BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREEAutomatically free the stream when playback ends.
BASS_STREAM_DECODEDecode the sample data, without playing it. Use BASS_ChannelGetData to retrieve decoded sample data. The BASS_SAMPLE_3D, BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE and SPEAKER flags cannot be used together with this flag.
BASS_SPEAKER_xxxSpeaker assignment flags. These flags have no effect when the stream is more than stereo.
BASS_UNICODEfile is in UTF-16 form. Otherwise it is ANSI on Windows and UTF-8 on other platforms. This flag is ignored when file is not a filename.

Return value

If successful, the new stream's handle is returned, else 0 is returned. Use BASS_ErrorGetCode to get the error code.
