problems with UseOGGSoundDecoder()

[SirCus]

hi everybody

Using UseOGGSoundDecoder() kills my application.
I justhave UseOGGSoundDecoder() and LoadSound(x,name)
as well as playsound.

If I click at "debug" the debugger starts and ends immidiately without an error msg.
If I remove "UseOggSoundDecoder()" and change the filename to an wav file, itworks fine.

Any suggestions?

Thats strange, I just tried to run the SoundPlugin.pb example and the program crashed right after the open file requester. I got one of those Send Error Report boxes. I'm sure it used to work on my system as well.

Edit: It is the LoadSound command causing the program to crash (found out by commenting out seperate parts)

I tryied the onErrorlib:

this is the output"

"Attempting Division by zero
Total number of errors:1"

and this happens at LoadSound


----
btw:
is it possible to play mp3 as playsound and not as playmovie?
and do I need to send the oggvorbis dll withmy program if the targetcomputer does not have oggvorbis installed?

... and: I tried KarlKox OggStream lib as well.. but I guess im too stupid for this lib. I get POLINK errors .. is anyone familar with that lib? I dont know how to load and play oggfiles withthat thing.

I've just a had a go with the OnError aswell. Here's my modified version of the SoundExample code.

Code: Select all

Procedure error()
  Debug GetErrorDescription()
  Debug GetErrorModuleName()
  Debug GetErrorCounter()
  Debug ""
  ProcedureReturn 1
EndProcedure

OnErrorGosub(@error())

If InitSound() = 0
  MessageRequester("Error", "Can't open DirectX 7 or no sound card is available",  0)
  End
EndIf

UseOGGSoundDecoder()

SoundFileName$ = OpenFileRequester("Choose a sound file", "", "Wave or OGG files|*.wav;*.ogg",0)
If SoundFileName$
  If LoadSound(0, SoundFileName$)
    PlaySound(0,1)
    MessageRequester("Sound", "Playing the sound (loop)..."+Chr(10)+"Click to quit..", 0)
  Else
    MessageRequester("Error", "Can't load the sound.", 0)
  EndIf
EndIf
End   

Using this I get a mixture of "Attempted division by zero" and "An attempted read or write to/from an address to which that process isn't allowed" All from the main module. Oh and I did find one ogg file that gave sixteen errors, but then played only completely garbled. None of the others played at all.

Maybe this should be moved to bug reports?

[SirCus]

I can confirm that

using your code I get 395 Erros saing: Attemted divisipn by zero , Main Module

the sound plays now, but very very ugly. unusable.
Guess Fred should verify that..

(wondering why nobody else found out that before..)

I know I probably shouldnt just bump posts like this, but I think this should be moved to the bug section. I cant see that my code can be wrong as it is one of the provided examples.
