[SOLVED] Streaming sound from other game server

[SpecT]

Hello guys!

I want to use other game server as songs storage so I made a resource and added the songs in the meta with attribute "download = false".

Okay and now is the time when the songs should be streamed ..

I don't know how to deal with the spaces. For example: Someone ft. someone - someone's song

In that case the spaces are being replaced with %20 and the storage server can't find such song.

How to deal with this if there is any way ?

Replace the spaces with %20 inside of the Lua script as well? You can use string.gsub for this.

Yeah, I know that ... But the problem is that the storage server can't find that name with %20 in it.

Try using a cloud service such as Kiwi6?

Try using string.find

Yeah, but just 2 GB aren't enough .. I used web hosting with 10 GB space but there were streaming problems (the song stops whenever it wants)

Try using string.find

What do you mean with that ?

Thanks for the replies guys!

I appreciate that!

something like this

myString = "Al3grab - My%20Cool%20Song" 
if string.find(myString,"Al3grab") and string.find(myString,"Cool") then 
    return true 
else 
    return false 
end

local songName = "This%20is%20song" 
  
function fixSpaces(string) 
return songName:gsub("%20"," ") 
end 
  
if fixSpaces(songName) == "This is song" then 
return true 
end 

is that what are you trying to do?

No .. its not. Read what I wrote carefully !

I request a song example "Singer - songName" but when the request goes to the server the song name becomes "Singer%20-%20songName" sooo the server cant find that file "Singer%20-%20songName" (The actual file is "Singer - songName").

That's the problem. In that case all the songs must not have spaces , because otherwise they won't be found.

PS: If you still can't understand tell me so I will try to explain it somehow better ..

Which server? It would be better if you can show us your code, just the part where you are doing your thing

What are you using to request the song? are you aware that playSound can play url's directly ?

[SpecT]

Streaming song:

playSound("http://ip.ip.ip.ip:22003/songs/songName - songName.mp3",false) 

That's what I'm using. The problem is that when I try to stream it like that it goes like "http://ip.ip.ip.ip:22003/songs/songName%20-%20songName.mp3" so the storage server can't find that song with these %20 in in. When the song name is like "songName-songName.mp3" (without spaces) it works perfectly .. but how can I rename 1500+ songs ?

I just wanted to know if its possible to deal with that somehow.

[SpecT]

Nevermind guys. I got a solution for that by myself.

1. I got the idea to find out how to rename all the songs -> without spaces

2. Found the script (Power shell)

3. Uploaded the songs on the storage server

4. In the streaming script I used as url the song name with removed spaces

5. Working fine now

Anyway thanks for the replies. I hope that this solution will be helpful for the others.

Here is the renaming powershell script:

dir | 
Where-Object { $_.name.Contains(" ") } | 
Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name -replace " ","" } 

Save it as .ps1

In URLs, %20 is a space, so the server should have returned the files correctly, but I'm glad you found a solution to your problem.
