Topic: Stop url stream source channel in mix

[kafffee]

Hi everybody :-)

How do I stop a url stream, instead of pausing it like this:

Code: [Select]

Dim success As BASSFlag = BassMix.BASS_Mixer_ChannelFlags(MainModule.streamfx(WhichDeck - 1), BASSFlag.BASS_MIXER_CHAN_PAUSE, BASSFlag.BASS_MIXER_CHAN_PAUSE)
streamfx is being put into a mixer channel.

And how do I start it again?

Or actually another question to this issue:

How does it behave, when I pause a url stream like above for let's say an hour. Will it just keep wirting the stream data to the buffer in an endless way? I would like to avoid that and rather stop the stream.

No more data can be downloaded while the internet stream's download buffer is full, so if you pause it for a long time, the connection will probably timeout and close in the meantime due to lack of activity. If it's a file (rather than a live source) then BASS will try to reconnect and continue when you resume it, but otherwise you'll need to recreate the stream, eg. call BASS_StreamCreateURL again.

BASS_Mixer_ChannelRemove is basically the mixer equivalent of BASS_ChannelStop. Freeing the stream (eg. BASS_StreamFree) will also remove it from the mixer.
