Topic: Finding current sample or current time played of channel.

[KevC]

Hi,

I am looking to find the timing of the channel currently playing with the following code:

Code: [Select]

Bass.BASS_Init(-1, 44100, BASSInit.BASS_DEVICE_16BITS, IntPtr.Zero);

int _BASSStream = Bass.BASS_StreamCreatePush(44100, 1, BASSFlag.BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT, IntPtr.Zero);

Bass.BASS_StreamPutData(_BASSStream, buffer, buffer.Length * 4);

Bass.BASS_ChannelPlay(_BASSStream, false);

Ideally, is there a function call to do this?  I am trying to match onscreen visuals with particular timing events in the sound stream currently playing(i.e. beat Num) by using a timer to update the screen every 50ms(I need finer grain information which a function such as that could provide).

Thank you.

Hi,

Just figured out an accurate way of getting timer synchronization with DateTime.Now.Ticks in Windows forms, false alarm, thanks!

In case it'd still be useful, you can get the stream's currently heard position from BASS_ChannelGetPosition (and use BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds to convert to seconds if wanted).

Oh thank you!  It may come in useful.
