oh.. too bad about adlib... as it's a very cool player.
i guess you've looked at the example player etc?...
i can not be of much help here. :( Anyone?

I asked around on IRC and this is what i found out:

If tunenet does use the OS4 C library startup code it's plugins should be able
to use all C library functions as well. If it's build without C library, clib2, libnix, vclib, ... they can't. Global variables in a shared library can't be used unless the library/plugin can't be opend more than once. For that you'd have to build everything with -mbaserel, use the code from the GCC docs to get the instance data and Clone() the interface for each opener If global data, but different one for each library opener is required the only method to make it work is the one described in the GCC docs in 3.17.34

PS. INewlib (has to be a global variable) has to be
opened in the LibInit() function and closed in LibExpunge().

PPS. joerg: My old example (bz2.library) is only for libraries without global data, but maybe it still helps. In http://utilitybase.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=2&topic=1152 is a link to the complete example, and an example LibInit()/LibExpunge() as well.

Thanx to Joerg for the info.

The SSF and QSF plugins doesn't skip to the next tune either, they stay silent.

That doesn't help since that's not the problem.

This is:

Without the startup code none of the static variables are initialised (CAdPlug::allplayers , CAdPlug::players and initplayers in the init_players() function).

Just had a thought: If I remove the "static"s from the definitions and create instances of the class that should fix the problems. I could make initplayers a class variable and then it wouldn't have to be static. I can't try it right now though, as I'm not at my A1.

SPU's ain't silent, they are not even visible in the playlist, as if they are filetered out.

I think I know what may be the problem here.

There's no facility for this. I guess I could write some kind of silence detection like sexypsf does though, or maybe I can hack eof detection into the aosdk engine code somehow (?).

@salass00

ok hmm

the music formats are managed via adplug.db and adplugdb which is a database, for adplug to detect what format the tune is in, is that part of the problem?
guess not? :)
but the first time i compiled adplug i deleted that file, as i thought it was some debug stuff and obviously adplay crashed.

Just for fun I downloaded a pack with the Space Harrier soundtrack in all available formats to put TuneNet through a test.
It now plays most of the formats! :)

Here's the ones it doesn't play yet:

space_harrier.jb (Jason Brooke)
space_harrier.mdx (some arcade format i believe)
space_harrier.asc (Spectrum ASC Sound Master)
space_harrier.stc (Spectrum Sound Compiler)
space_harrier.ymst (ymst)

Conclusion out of 17 odd chip formats, it fails to
play 5. Pretty good i'd say! :D

Thanx to Salass00 we are running out of unsupported formats quickly. :)
I had to do something about that, some new interesting ones. M1 and GXP seems cool.


Update 10:
* Added resources for Roland MT-32.
* Added resources for GXP (Konami GX sound player).
* Added resources for M1 (This is an arcade and pinball sound emulator).
* Added resources for OptimFROG (Lossless audio).

i just tried the latest version of the psf2 plugin with the silence detection added, but it still doesn't seem to skip to the next track at the end of a track?

Have you tried v1.5?

@salass00

Where to find music in this format?

Quote:

PSGPlay32 Plays AY music in the PSG format. Download sources here.

@salass00

i couldn't find any music on the net, but most emulators save music in this format.
use fuse (found on os4depot) run a game that has music,
press f1, chose file menu, then ay logging, and it will start recording the music and save it to disk.

A first quick test with the Adlib plugin reveals that:

It fails to load these into the playlist:

.adl
.dtl
.edl
.fmk
.agd
.sdb
.sqx
.d01
.mtr
.mus

And these have other misc problems:

.xms tunes are silent.
.cms files plays too fast, and sounds wrong.
.dro files doesn't work.
.xsm sounds all weird.
.d00 silent
.ksm plays way too slow
.mkj plays way too slow
.mad plays too fast

Etc etc... something must be up with the database?

I've added these to the TestPlayer() function (not released).

No idea why this happens...
