Topic: Errors in BASS help file

[Irrational86]

Hey Ian,

In the Bass and basswma docs, wherever you have this line

BASS_ERROR_FILEFORM    The file's format is not recognised/supported

it should be recognized, with z, not s...

[zajkos]

that's why my program doesn't work!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ...haha, funny guy

[jaffa]

Looks like you Yanks need to learn how to spell. Just set your Spell Check to English UK

[Olego]

:laugh:
You're hilarious, Jaffa.  I'm all with you!

Clarification to everyone else: Americans like to spell with the letter z.  In Britain, the letter s prevails.  Therefore, words like analyse and realise and recognise all have 's' in them.~Olego~

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ...Whoops, i dont know much about British english...thats why i said that it was wrong...but i guess i am the one wrong  

[Irrational86]

This is not about incorrect spelling, but its an actual problem that the documentation has...in the BASS help file, under the BASS_StreamGetFilePosition help, the example uses BASS_StreamGetFileLength() instead of BASS_StreamGetFilePosition()...Ian, maybe you need to correct this..

[Ian @ un4seen]

Oops

...it's sorted now.

Btw...I dont understand something, what is the difference between BASS_StreamGetFilePosition(Channel, BASS_FILEPOS_END) and BASS_StreamGetLength(Channel)?? I dont get it, i've compared the values and all, but i still dont get it. Maybe someone can explain a bit more..?

[Ian @ un4seen]

BASS_StreamGetFilePosition(Channel, BASS_FILEPOS_END) = the file size.

BASS_StreamGetLength(Channel) = the playback (ie. decoded) length.

Another error Ian...under the bass BASS_ChannelSlideAttributes page...at the bottom this is written

...When using a sync with a "fade to 0 and stop" slide (volume = 2), the SYNCPROC is called just before the channel is stopped.

I think you meant (volume = -2)
