BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library

BassMidiBASS_MIDI_StreamCreateURL Method

BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library
Creates a sample stream from an MIDI file on the internet, optionally receiving the downloaded data in a callback.

Namespace:  Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.Midi
Assembly:  Bass.Net (in Bass.Net.dll) Version: 2.4.17.5
Syntax

public static int BASS_MIDI_StreamCreateURL(
	string url,
	int offset,
	BASSFlag flags,
	DOWNLOADPROC proc,
	IntPtr user,
	int freq
)

Parameters

url
Type: SystemString
URL of the file to stream. Should begin with "http://" or "ftp://".
offset
Type: SystemInt32
File position to start streaming from. This is ignored by some servers, specifically when the file length is unknown.
flags
Type: Un4seen.BassBASSFlag
Any combination of these flags (see BASSFlag):
BASS_SAMPLE_8BITSUse 8-bit resolution. If neither this or the BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT flags are specified, then the sample data will be 16-bit.
BASS_SAMPLE_FLOATUse 32-bit floating-point sample data. WDM drivers or the BASS_STREAM_DECODE flag are required to use this flag in Windows. See Floating-point channels for more info.
BASS_SAMPLE_MONODecode/play the stream (MP3/MP2/MP1 only) in mono, reducing the CPU usage (if it was originally stereo). This flag is automatically applied if BASS_DEVICE_MONO was specified when calling BASS_Init(Int32, Int32, BASSInit, IntPtr, IntPtr).
BASS_SAMPLE_3DUse 3D functionality. This is ignored if BASS_DEVICE_3D wasn't specified when calling BASS_Init(Int32, Int32, BASSInit, IntPtr, IntPtr). 3D streams must be mono. The SPEAKER flags can not be used together with this flag.
BASS_SAMPLE_LOOPLoop the events. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag).
BASS_STREAM_STATUSPass status info (HTTP/ICY tags) from the server to the proc callback during connection. This can be useful to determine the reason for a failure.
BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREEAutomatically free the stream when it ends. This allows you to stream a file and forget about it, as BASS will automatically free the stream's resources when it has reached the end or when BASS_ChannelStop(Int32) (or BASS_Stop) is called.
BASS_STREAM_DECODEDecode the sample data, without outputting it. Use BASS_ChannelGetData(Int32, IntPtr, Int32) to retrieve decoded sample data. The BASS_SAMPLE_SOFTWARE, BASS_SAMPLE_3D, BASS_SAMPLE_FX, BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE and SPEAKER flags can not be used together with this flag.
BASS_SPEAKER_xxxSpeaker assignment flags.
BASS_MIDI_ASYNCProcess events asynchronously in BASS_MIDI_StreamEvent(Int32, Int32, BASSMIDIEvent, Int32) and BASS_MIDI_StreamEvents(Int32, BASSMIDIEventMode, BASS_MIDI_EVENT, Int32) calls. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag).
BASS_MIDI_DECAYENDLet the sound decay naturally (including reverb) instead of stopping abruptly at the end of the events, including when looping. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag).
BASS_MIDI_DECAYSEEKLet the old sound decay naturally (including reverb) when changing the position, including looping. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag), but it should generally only be used in BASS_ChannelSetPosition(Int32, Int64, BASSMode) calls to have it applied to particular position changes, eg. custom loops.
BASS_MIDI_NOCROPDo not remove empty space (containing no events) from the end of the file.
BASS_MIDI_NODRUMPARAMDo not apply default per-drum reverb and chorus levels and instead set them all to full. The default is to set different levels for different types of drum, eg. lower levels on kick drums. The levels can subsequently be changed via the MIDI_EVENT_DRUM_REVERB and MIDI_EVENT_DRUM_CHORUS events. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag), but will only take effect upon a program change or system reset.
BASS_MIDI_NOFXDisable reverb and chorus processing, saving some CPU time. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag).
BASS_MIDI_NOSYSRESETIgnore system reset events (MIDI_EVENT_SYSTEM) when the system mode is unchanged. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag).
BASS_MIDI_NOTEOFF1Only release the oldest instance upon a note off event (MIDI_EVENT_NOTE with velocity=0) when there are overlapping instances of the note. Otherwise all instances are released. This flag can be toggled at any time using BASS_ChannelFlags(Int32, BASSFlag, BASSFlag).
proc
Type: Un4seen.BassDOWNLOADPROC
Callback function to receive the file as it is downloaded... = no callback.
user
Type: SystemIntPtr
User instance data to pass to the callback function.
freq
Type: SystemInt32
Sample rate (in Hz) to render/play the MIDI at (0 = the rate specified in the BASS_Init(Int32, Int32, BASSInit, IntPtr, IntPtr) call; 1 = the device's current output rate or the BASS_Init rate if that is not available).

Return Value

Type: Int32
If successful, the new stream's handle is returned, else 0 is returned. Use BASS_ErrorGetCode to get the error code.
Remarks

This is an internet version of the BASS_MIDI_StreamCreateFile(String, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag, Int32) function and the remarks in its documentation also apply here, except that the BASS_CONFIG_MIDI_AUTOFONT config option has no effect.

ERROR CODEDescription
BASS_ERROR_INITBASS_Init(Int32, Int32, BASSInit, IntPtr, IntPtr) has not been successfully called.
BASS_ERROR_NOTAVAILOnly decoding channels (BASS_STREAM_DECODE) are allowed when using the "no sound" device. The BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE flag is also unavailable to decoding channels.
BASS_ERROR_NONETNo internet connection could be opened. Can be caused by a bad proxy setting.
BASS_ERROR_ILLPARAMurl is not a valid URL.
BASS_ERROR_PROTOCOLThe protocol in url is not supported.
BASS_ERROR_SSLSSL/HTTPS support is not available.
BASS_ERROR_TIMEOUTThe server did not respond to the request within the timeout period, as set with the BASS_CONFIG_NET_TIMEOUT config option.
BASS_ERROR_FILEOPENThe file could not be opened.
BASS_ERROR_FILEFORMThe file's format is not recognised/supported.
BASS_ERROR_FORMATThe sample format is not supported by the device/drivers. If the stream is more than stereo or the BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT flag is used, it could be that they are not supported.
BASS_ERROR_SPEAKERThe specified SPEAKER flags are invalid. The device/drivers do not support them, they are attempting to assign a stereo stream to a mono speaker or 3D functionality is enabled.
BASS_ERROR_MEMThere is insufficient memory.
BASS_ERROR_NO3DCould not initialize 3D support.
BASS_ERROR_UNKNOWNSome other mystery problem!
