Hello!

I found strange thing: if BASS_UNICODE flag presents in the BASS_StreamCreateURL call, then any "mms://..." stream doesn't play (returns error code 2). Using latest bass and basswma. There's nothing in the docs connecting this flag and this function...

Thanks!

Just tried it here and it works fine.
Can you pls show your code how you used BASS_StreamCreateURL.

 Chan := BASS_StreamCreateURL(URL, 0, BASS_STREAM_STATUS or BASS_STREAM_BLOCK or NS.Flags, @StatusProc, Self);

NS.Flags is defined before, as:

   Flags := BASS_UNICODE or BASS_STREAM_DECODE or BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT;

The BASS_UNICODE flag isn't actually supported by BASS_StreamCreateURL currently (except on WinCE), so I would expect that call to fail with error code 2 (BASS_ERROR_FILEOPEN) for any URL (not only "mms://").

In Delphi, passing the URL like this should sort it: PAnsiChar(AnsiString(url))

In Delphi, passing the URL like this should sort it: PAnsiChar(AnsiString(url))

That's exactly what I'm doing (the url is PAnsiChar type, and it's converted one line before call) - it works for HTTP streams and not for MMS.
Probably, that's the issue with BASSWMA, looks like it somehow considers the UNICODE flag.
Anyway, I already sorted this out, by not adding this flag... But I'm still interested where the bug is

Thanks.

Oh right, I see what you mean. Yes, BASSWMA does indeed support the BASS_UNICODE flag even for the URLs, because the same code is used for opening local files and URLs. For consistency, I guess the BASS_UNICODE flag should be blocked by BASSWMA with URLs, or perhaps support for it added in BASS_StreamCreateURL

[fmcoder]

Yes, it should be at least documented (I supposed, that any flag that is not supported by function, thrown away).
I spent about 2 hours finding what's wrong until I found this thing with UNICODE

[Ian @ un4seen]

Here's an update to try, with support for the BASS_UNICODE flag in BASS_StreamCreateURL...

   www.un4seen.com/stuff/bass.dll

As URLs are ASCII, it will simply convert the Unicode string to ASCII, and that is what BASS_CHANNELINFO.filename will receive (rather than the original Unicode version).

Thanks, I'll try it later today.
