A simple wrapper built around macOS AVAudioPlayer. Totally asynchronous, but NOT threadsafe. Should support mp3, m4a, aac, wav, aiff, alac natively and everything else with the help of FFmpeg.
Basic usage:
Code: Select all
IncludeFile "audioplayer.pbi"
If audioplayer::load(0,"file.mp3")
Debug "Playing file " + audioplayer::getPath(0)
Debug "File duration: " + StrD(audioplayer::getDuration(0)) + " sec"
audioplayer::play(0)
Delay(5100)
audioplayer::pause(0)
Debug "Played: " + StrD(audioplayer::getCurrentTime(0)) + " sec"
audioplayer::stop(0)
audioplayer::free(0)
EndIf
The most recent version and more complex example can be found on github:

Hello Deseven,
if you finally use the return value for Boolean in procedures no longer "Procedure.b foo()", but simply "Procedure foo()", everything is good.
If you use type ".b" (byte), it must be additionally filtered in the ASM code and thus generates more unnecessary ASM code.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, I'm not even sure where i got this habit from.
Updated the code.

In the new version I decided to get rid of PB sound library, since it's completely broken, see:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=77779
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=78013
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=77630
And with the amount of attention macOS build of PB gets these days it's very likely that it won't be fixed for several years or at all.
So this module now uses FFmpeg to cover formats not supported natively by AVAudioPlayer, such as FLAC or OGG. It's totally optional and if you don't need to play those then nothing needs to be done

Updated once again, you can now create multiple instances by defining the ID or just passing #PB_Any as a first argument.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!
I mostly wrote it for my
macOS music player, but it's great if someone else can find it useful.

Hi deseven,
I just checked out your player. Nice!
However, in main.pb, PB 5.7.3 throws the error "Line 146: setCurrentTime(): Incorrect number of parameters.". Maybe, the player-component I downloaded from GItHub is too new...
One perfect addition would be internet-radio stations by URL, maybe using BASS? This way, I could ditch iTunes
And you could let users show the player, where ffmpeg and other tools and libraries reside.

Yeah, I've uploaded the latest changes for ichm, now it should be buildable with the latest version of all modules.

Sorry, no plans for that at all, there are many players for macOS that already do that perfectly. Maybe someday, but definitely not in the near future, there are many other things I want to introduce as soon as possible.

Not sure what you mean by this, can you explain?

Ok. Sounds reasonable
Maybe, I have some time to look into it. After all, you open sourced the player.

You open preferences window, and if your player didn't find the appropriate ffmpeg or lyrics-lib, etc, it opens a OpenFileRequester() and lets the user point to the binary.

Ah, I see.
FFmpeg is included in the release, it's a part of the distribution (releases are here -
https://github.com/deseven/iCanHazMusic/releases)
External lyrics module is a very temporary solution, I plan to get rid of it in time. Ideally the application should be self-sufficient.
