Topic: Stopping playback when there is a temporary lack of internet

[marciod]

As the phone switches from WiFi to mobile cellular data, stream playback stops.
In Windows, if the Internet connection is interrupted for a moment, the stream playback also stops.
Is there any way to fix this?

If you're streaming a file, and using BASS 2.4.17, then BASS should automatically try to reconnect and resume the download. BASS can't do that with a Shoutcast/Icecast/similar stream because there's no way to ask the server to resume from a certain position (ie. where the connection was lost). So in that case, you would need to reconnect yourself by calling BASS_StreamCreateURL again. You can set a BASS_SYNC_DOWNLOAD sync (via BASS_ChannelSetSync) to be notified when the connection closes.

Thank you so much for the quick and helpful response as always

I have one more question.
For META I set:
BASS_ChannelSetSync(FStream, BASS_SYNC_META, 0, @BASSSyncMeta, Self);
And I read:
if GetTags(BASS_TAG_META, LTags) then
...
For DOWNLOAD I set:
BASS_ChannelSetSync(FStream, BASS_SYNC_DOWNLOAD, 0, @BASSSyncDown, Self);
What command to read the download status?

The question is no longer valid

Good to see that you appear to have already found the answer, but in case anyone else has the same question, the download/connection status is available from BASS_StreamGetFilePosition with mode=BASS_FILEPOS_CONNECTED.
