Hey Everyone,
Does anyone know how to loop an MP3 with the PlayMovie(1, WindowID()) command?
I want to play an MP3 continuously, just like the PlaySound(1, 1) command allows you to loop a WAV file.
I tried using the MovieStatus() function, but it doesn't seem to respond the way I thought it would.
Does anyone have a good example for this?
Thanks,
Tron

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the input!
Can you try my code and see if you can get the MovieStatus()=0 function to work in a loop with ScreenID() ? I think I am doing something wrong, or does this code work on your PC?
My code snippet:
;-----------------------------------------------------------------
If InitMovie() = 0
MessageRequester("Error", "Can't initialize Music playback.", 0)
End
EndIf
If InitSprite() = 0 Or InitKeyboard() = 0 Or InitMouse() = 0
MessageRequester("Error", "Can't open DirectX 7 or later.", 0)
End
EndIf
If OpenScreen(640, 480, 32, "Test")
LoadMovie(1, "test1.mp3")
Repeat
FlipBuffers()
ClearScreen(0,0,0)
If MovieStatus() = 0
PlayMovie(1, ScreenID())
EndIf
ExamineKeyboard()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)
Else
MessageRequester("Error", "Can't open a 640*480 - 32 bit screen !", 0)
EndIf
End

Hi Tron,
I cut and pasted your code exact and it works fine with the MP3's that I have. As soon as they finish they start again. (I'm using Win2K)

I am using Windows ME, and this same exact code will not not start playing on my machine. I even tried several different MP3's from different sources. I can only get it to play if I move the MovieStatus()=0... code outside of my repeat loop. This is very strange. I will try to test on my work machine which is W2K, and see if it works like your machine does. This is very strange.
