Topic: Regarding BASSWMA

[engineeer]

1. How to set buffer length and timeout for WMA? BASS_SetNetConfig doesn't affect WMA, right?
2. How often should I call BASS_WMA_EncodeWrite to encode and write data to the network if I want to broadcast file(s)? Playing muted (volume=0) stream and calling BASS_WMA_EncodeWrite within DSPPROC works fine, but...
How about something like STREAMPROC callback, where we can feed encoder with data when it needs ones?
3. Syncs on WMT_BUFFERING_START, WMT_BUFFERING_STOP, WMT_CONNECTING, WMT_LOCATING will be usefull for GUI stuff.

Yep, the net connecting/buffering for WMA streams is performed by the Windows Media modules... I'm not sure that it's possible to specify buffer/timeout values. I'll have to check.

If you're looking to regulate the feeding of sample data (eg. from a decoding channel) to the encoder, you could use a timer... or create a thread which just writes and then sleeps, in a "while" loop?

3. Syncs on WMT_BUFFERING_START, WMT_BUFFERING_STOP, WMT_CONNECTING, WMT_LOCATING will be usefull for GUI stuff.

The problem in the case of WMT_CONNECTING/WMT_LOCATING is there's no channel yet, to set the syncs on

Buffering syncs could be a possibility though. In the meantime, BASS_ChannelIsActive will return BASS_ACTIVE_STALLED when playback is stalled - that may be some use to you.

For timeout I'm not sure, but IWMReaderNetworkConfig::Get/SetBufferingTime methods could help with buffering?

Yep, this will work, but I got to avoid overfeeding.

You're right (as always   ), thanks!
