CDTEST - 1st test of CD streaming add-on

[Ian @ un4seen]

The CD streaming/ripping add-on (BASSCD), based on the AKRip source-code, is up and running. I found a few bugs in AKRip (well it is a beta ), and some other things I didn't like. I want to tidy it up some more before releasing a public version to try in your own programs, but in the meantime, here's a test to try.

      http://www.un4seen.com/stuff/cdtest.zip    (updated)

If a CD drive is capable of digital playback in Windows Media Player, then it should also work in the test... and even if it doesn't work in Media Player, it may still work in the test

Please post here the drive(s) that you try it with (the names are displayed in the test), and the "flags" display values, and also your Windows version. If there are any problems, check if the same happens in Media Player with the "digital playback" option on.

Superb job Ian.

On my Win 98 SE, on both
AOPEN RW1232 v1.10 flag 0D16202977750707 and
ATAPI DVD-ROM 16X v635A 801B03296371001F

It works incredibily quick, nice, without bugs, no crachs, no noises...

I m totaly ready for basscd.pas.

Bass still and forever the best.

[fredvs]

By the way, BASS_CD_Door for each device ?  

NB: Bravo for the easy BASS_CD_StreamCreate (i m curious for the flags you give, sames as BASS_StreamCreate ?)...

For me, this basscd.dll will be a very better alternate for BASS_CDInit and all the Audio CD functions of Bass.

I have seen in your basscd.dll that you will use more or less the same functions that in bass.dll for audio CD
(ex : BASS_CDInDrive vs BASS_CD_InDrive)

The Audio CD functions of Bass.dll can be discarded for me, it has nothing to do with the spirit of Bass, i had to much bloat with it and other multimedia components do that very well.


NB : and perhaps you will have a lighter bass.dll...

Wierd...i get a:
"No CD drives found"
"(error code: 20)"

And...i have a CD-RW (maybe a bit old) and a virtual cd-rom drive.
The physical cd drive is a Philips, "CDRW800 Series" the name that appears in the device manager is "PHILIPS PCRW804"
In the properties, under location it says "Location 0 (0)"

The virtual drive is made using Paragon CD-ROM Emulator, the name in the device manager is "PARAGON Virtual CD-ROM  Unit# 00"
In the properties this one says "PARAGON Virtual SCSI    "

I think i know what makes this happen, because the virtual drive is considered a SCSI, then it doesnt detect the physical drive. This has happened before, if you take a look at the CDex program source, then you should be able to figure out how its made. CDex before version 1.50 Beta 10, it didnt detect the drives because of the SCSI, but now it detects them fine.

@ XMinioNX
do you have install AspiDrivers????

Worked like a charm here on my development machine.

Hardware CD ROM:
Samsung CD-ROM SC-152L vC100 (1:0:0)
flags: C023232973710007
speed: 9152  buf:128

Virtual CD-ROM:
Alcohol 120%
AXV CD/DVD-ROM v2.1 (2:0:0)

OS:
Windows XP Professional SP1

Will try it on my other test systems and will let you know the result.

btw. Will the BASS_CD_StreamCreate function also support the BASS_STREAM_DECODE flag? That would be pretty sweet for CD ripping functionality.

And Ian, thanks for all your hard work.
Howard.

[Azoth]

XMinioNX,
  What OS are you using? If I remember correctly the AKRip library supports NT/2000 and XP natively and does not require an ASPI manager be installed while Windows 98 does.

Works great here with my "ATAPI CD-ROM 50x v185A". Don't know which brand.

This is a perfect add-on for BASS. good job!

To DJ-Chris and Azoth:
Am using Win2k, no need for Aspi Drivers, but I installed some Aspi drivers for the h*ll of it, and nothing changed.

[Ian @ un4seen]

I think BASSCD is almost complete now, and should be available shortly.

I've updated the CDTEST ZIP file above, with some new "door" options to try. Some drives don't seem to be able to report when it's door is open. (unless someone knows a way that works for all drives? ) Note that the "open" function currently also unlocks the door 1st (this may be changed), so don't be surprised when the door opens despite being locked

For those that got the "no cd drives found" error, it should be ok now.

NB: Bravo for the easy BASS_CD_StreamCreate (i m

btw. Will the BASS_CD_StreamCreate function also support the BASS_STREAM_DECODE flag? That would be pretty sweet for CD ripping functionality.

Yes, all the standard stream flags will be available.

The Audio CD functions of Bass.dll can be discarded for me, it has nothing to do with the spirit of Bass, i had to much bloat with it and other multimedia components do that very well.

Yep, the built-in analog audio CD functions may well be removed in the next BASS release... I don't like them very much anyway

[engineeer]

Yep, works perfect now!

Actually it work better that the built in bass CD functions because it returns correct info for each audio track length, when the CD Disc has the Data track last !!!!

Plays okay.  When reaching the scratched part, it stumbles, plays the buffer, and waits for the buffer to fill again.

WinXP, SP1 (I'm considering uninstalling SP1).

Note: while Mousewheel scrolls the scrollbar, it doesn't advance the position.  

If I open the CD in the middle of playback, it loops the buffer until I tell it to pick a different track and it realises that the CD is no longer there.

And what does the Lock do?

~Olego~

[Ingolf]

Lock locks the drive from opening, won't open if you click the open button on your cd-rom drive. (i guess)
