I have been testing the fmod playback of ogg (and other format) files. Ogg files play back and loop fine when they are hosted on the device (iOS), but when I try to open them from http link they just don’t loop. They play, but they only play once. The only difference in setup is that I am passing F…

Apologies for the delay, i’ve looked into it now. There is an issue in the network file handling that I have discovered. I have fixed it for the next minor release update. Brett

Thanks @brett that’s very helpful, but unfortunately it still doesn’t play the second time. The first play plays fine, then it just goes silent. I took the example code in the play_stream_ios example and just changed a few lines. I tried both FMOD_SOUND_TYPE_OGGVORBIS and FMOD_SOUND_TYPE_VORBIS. …

Hi Brett, thanks for this. It’s not HLS, it’s just a file hosted on https (perhaps I’m confused about the nomenclature here!). As it is, I’m seriously confused as to why seeking doesn’t work - you can seek most files whenever there’s an Accept-Ranges header available, which there is in this case. …

Incredible! Thanks @brett . :crossed_fingers: this fixes the problem. Josh

How do we go about working with .m3u8 files for HLS for FMOD?

you would have to download and parse those types of file yourself at this time. edit: HLS is a special API for low latency streaming, fmod does not support this either

Is HLS support on the development roadmap?

It is possible it works now as we run audio streaming of AAC through AudioQueue (iOS only) but I have not checked it on my side, just Windows testing here right now. I can see m3u8 uses #EXT-X-VERSION tag vs m3u which we support via #EXTINF tag, so that file format version I can confirm is not supp…
