[HELP] sound functions

[Imposter]

So I have this piece of code, when the streamAudio event is triggered, the seek/sound position is sent to the client. but my problem is, it won't set. The wiki's documentation is also wrong, it says that the setSoundPostion() function uses milliseconds, but it actually uses seconds. Any help??

Client:

nowPlaying = nil; 
  
function streamAudio(theUrl, theSeek) 
    if (nowPlaying) then 
        stopSound(nowPlaying); 
    end 
    nowPlaying = playSound(theUrl); 
    if (theSeek) then 
        setSoundPosition(nowPlaying, theSeek); 
    end 
end 
addEvent("streamAudio", true); 
addEventHandler("streamAudio", getRootElement(), streamAudio); 
  
function endStream() 
    if (nowPlaying) then 
        stopSound(nowPlaying); 
    end 
end 
addEvent("endStream", true); 
addEventHandler("endStream", getRootElement(), endStream);

"theSeek" returns milliseconds or seconds?

[Imposter]

"theSeek" returns milliseconds or seconds?

it returns seconds.

[Castillo]

So, just multiply 'theSeek' by 1000.

I did that, but the music starts from 0.

My Code:

    if (theClass == nil) then 
        outputChatBox("#00C3FF[TMHC]:#E0E0E0 " .. theMessage, theObject, 255, 255, 255, true); 
    elseif (theObject == nil) then 
        outputChatBox("#00C3FF[TMHC" .. theClass .. "]:#E0E0E0 " .. theMessage, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true); 
    else 
        outputChatBox("#00C3FF[TMHC-" .. theClass .. "]:#E0E0E0 " .. theMessage, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true);

Maybe it doesn't work with streamed sounds.

[Imposter]

Well it works when I use the example(command), and that works in seconds, not milliseconds. I tried it with a timer too to see if it needed a delay, but that doesn't work either.

[Imposter]

Help anyone?

This works, but not in the streamAudio Event:

  
function setSongPos(cmd, seconds) 
    local ssp = setSoundPosition(nowPlaying, seconds) 
    if ssp then 
        outputChatBox("Sound is now playing from: "..seconds.." Seconds!") 
    else 
        outputChatBox("An error has occured. Please make shore there are atleast") 
        outputChatBox(seconds.." Seconds in this song!") 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("seek", setSongPos)

You can't set streamed audio to a certain position, as they are being streamed live and is not being recorded.

You can't set streamed audio to a certain position, as they are being streamed live and is not being recorded.

It works when I do it with the command though.

EDIT:

Whatever, got it working with:

  
thePosition = 0; 
function updatePosition(theSeek) 
    thePosition = theSeek; 
end 
addEvent("updateStreamPosition", true); 
addEventHandler("updateStreamPosition", getRootElement(), updatePosition); 
  
function resume() 
    if (nowPlaying) then 
        outputMessage("Resuming!", "Radio"); 
        setSoundPosition(nowPlaying, thePosition); 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("resume", resume);
