Question

MP3 - getStreamLength - using a virtual path help needed !

Hi to all,

I am trying to get the Stream.length of an MP3 file type but using also a virtual path that is assigned to the Vhost.XML.
After many tries i only manage to make it work only if the MP3`s are sitting inside the FMS_root_directory_applications_myMusicApp into a folder with the name "streams" wherever else i use the code that i am writing below it returns "0 seconds" as the Stream.length of every MP3.

In the main.asc i use this code :
application.onConnect = function(newClient, userObject, name){
if(userObject.userType == "Test_Music"){
newClient.virtualKey = "Music";
newClient.name = name;

newClient.getTheLength = function(streamName) {
trace("The "+streamName+" Total Time is "+Stream.length(streamName)+" : seconds");
return Stream.length(streamName);
}

}

application.acceptConnection(newClient);
}

In the Fla. file i use this to get the length:
var V_Path:String = "Music/";
var TheSound:String = "MyMp3";

var streamName:String = "mp3:"+V_Path+TheSound;

nc.call("getTheLength", { onResult: Delegate.create(this, setDuration) }, streamName);

function setDuration(nLength:Number):Void {
trace(nLength + " seconds");
}

Everything is streaming, everything works well, but i can`t get the StreamLength thou i can stream the MP3 from a virtual path

Any help would be appreciated, i have tried many times with diferent ways and nothing returns me what i need !

Thanx in advance

    Thanx for the interest but i have solved it .

    For anyone that will stuck in this kind of problem such as Streaming Mp3 using a virtual Directory and also a virtual key in Vhost.xml (e.x. <Streams key="Music">Music;C:\myFolder\Mymusic</Streams>)
    you should consider to remove the "virtual key" cause you can`t get the Stream.length

    In the main.asc i was using this code :
    application.onConnect = function(newClient, userObject, name){
    if(userObject.userType == "Test_Music"){
    newClient.virtualKey = "Music"; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THIS IS THE PROBLEM TO GET THE STREAM LENGTH
    newClient.name = name;

    newClient.getTheLength = function(streamName) {
    trace("The "+streamName+" Total Time is "+Stream.length(streamName)+" : seconds");
    return Stream.length(streamName);
    }

    }

    So all you have to do is to remove the virtualKey from the Client.Object and from the Vhost.XML

    Thanx for your time FlashConference

    umm...
    first understand me.. because I'm not use english language.. my language is korea language I'm Korean.. so my english is very poor..i'm sorry..

    I think .. your code is as2 . right?

    I make the sample file for kaziris_.
    sample code is as3

    first you make the application folder in applications (ex. applications\c)

    if you test this sample code that you need You_call_it_love.mp3 file in vod\media
    I hope your success! (adambrothers@gmail.com)

    //flash code(*.fla)
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/vod");
    nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);
    nc.client = this;
    var ns:NetStream;
    function statusHandler(e:NetStatusEvent):void
    {
    trace("e.info.code = "+e.info.code);
    if (e.info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success")
    {
    ns = new NetStream(nc);
    var songName:String = "mp3:You_call_it_love";
    ns.play(songName);
    var responder = new Responder(resultHandler);
    nc.call("getStreamLength", responder, songName);
    }
    }

    function resultHandler(songTotalTimeLine):void
    {
    trace("songTotalTimeLine : "+songTotalTimeLine);
    }

    // asc code(main.asc)
    application.onConnect = function(client)
    {
    client.getStreamLength = function( streamName ) {
    trace("length is " + Stream.length( streamName ));
    return Stream.length( streamName );
    }
    application.acceptConnection(client);
    }
