Hi,
Should the latest FMOD HTML5 support createStream from a HTTP url? I tried even from localhost URL but no go. createStream returns FMOD\_ERR\_UNSUPPORTED “A command issued was not supported by this object. Possibly a plugin without certain callbacks specified.” I am using emscripten from c++ to html5. The c++ version works fine as well from the URL.
When I change from URL to the same mp3 file in local file system, it works and plays fine.
Relavant code:
FMOD::System\* lowSystem = NULL;
AudioEngine::getSystem()-\>getCoreSystem(&lowSystem);
FMOD\_CREATESOUNDEXINFO exinfo;
memset(&exinfo, 0, sizeof(FMOD\_CREATESOUNDEXINFO));
exinfo.cbsize = sizeof(FMOD\_CREATESOUNDEXINFO);
exinfo.suggestedsoundtype = FMOD\_SOUND\_TYPE\_MPEG;
FMOD\_MODE fmod\_mode = FMOD\_DEFAULT | FMOD\_CREATESTREAM;
FMOD\_RESULT result = lowSystem-\>createStream(url.c\_str(), fmod\_mode, &exinfo, &m\_sound);

Unfortunately our documentation is a little thin in this area, however I can confirm that the unsupported error is correct. FMOD for HTML5 does not support sockets, this precludes net-streams and live update / profiler functionality.
I’ll issue a couple of tasks, one for improved documentation and one to revisit HTML5 socket support.
