error with looping mp3 files

[josquinet]

Good morning. I have a very curious problem.

i am making an app to play mp3 files of about 5 sec. in loop. when i test these files in animate (test movie) they work perfectly. when i test them in the apk file they don't work well: the loops are shortened. i have to clarify.

• this happens to me with the last updates of airsdk, a year ago it didn't happen to me.
• I haven't tested with aab files yet maybe it works fine there.
• I have always used a software to convert from wave to mp3 that i got from here and it has always worked for me until about a year ago (I think).
  this software: https://www.compuphase.com/mp3/mp3loops.htm

if the problem is not solved in the next update, I would like to receive a year old version of a harmann sdk.

thank you very much.

Hi

Sounds an odd one - are you able to create a simple app that demonstrates this where you could provide the SWF or similar, and we can reproduce it here to investigate further?

To use an old AIR SDK, please check https://airsdk.harman.com/release_notes - if you click on any of the version codes that are hyperlinks, it will take you to the downloads page with that particular version then available to download.

thanks

I dont think loops ever worked well.
Better use
Sound.extract
and
SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA
to play in loop

the loops work perfect in animate, but when making the apk file and transferring it to the mobile, the loops become a little bit shorter. very little. thanks

Hi, using mp3 file format for looping sounds is generally not a good idea because the format itself introduces random silence spaces at track extremities.

I would recommend you to use WAV format instead.

Feel free to check this library that supports WAV format with looping capability (it comes with a pitch capability too!): https://github.com/Adolio/Syrinx-Sound-Manager
