TuneNet plugins and subsong support

I just wrote a simple TuneNet plugin for MDS format to test how subsong support in TuneNet works so I will know how I should implement it in the UADE plugin where it will be harder for me to tell where the problem is if I manage to get something wrong.

Anyway I have it mostly working but I'm still not clear on what I should do on subsong end as if I return 0 from DecodeFramePlayer() as I do on regular song end it will stop playing the song entirely, but if I continue audio decoding it won't recognise the subsong change even if I increment inTuneNet->current_subsong and set inTuneNet->ms_duration to a new value.

Hmmmm! I am.. Not sure, but the old sid plugins readme says that it "auto plays through subsongs".
This plugin was probably made before tunenet got support for subsongs?
It's written by Curty, maybe he knows? You can reach him on curty at talktalk dot net.

Nice plugin idea btw!
I was hoping for a sidplay2 plugin when i read the topic. ;)

The hively plugin seems tomhave proper subsong support but no source. :(

I've sent him an e-mail, although you got the address wrong, it's curtyh at talktalk dot net. I tried with curty at talktalk dot net first but I immediately got a "failure notice" e-mail so I went to check OS4Depot for the correct address.

You mean the MDS plugin? I wasn't sure whether I should release it but if you think it's useful I could make CUE, NRG and CCD plugins pretty easily too assuming that I get the subsong feature working properly first...

Yea. Why not? I've seen other players that supports Playing from isos, i just never thought anyone would bother on the amiga.

Any progress on the subsong support?

OT: CDDA from ISO would be best for DosBox.

I can use code from diskimage.device so it only takes some minutes to make a plugin more or less.

None .

Is there any plugin to get CDDB from internet ?
Tunenet plays fine CDDA, but I don't access to CDDB to take the names of tracks, like PLAYCD.
PlayCD get the names, but the sound is very poor, or maybe is bad configured, I don't know.

Sorry for the late response, will dig out my source code and send your way by the weekend. ;)

Saturday is here, curty, start diggin'! :)

I have a rechargeable mouse and the batteries are dead as a dodo and wont charge. Have ordered some new ones. Will borrow a mouse from work on Monday though. :(

Ive dropped you an email with source code ;)

Yeah! How about cleaning up your sources and putting them on os4depot?
Many would benefit.

I shall do, they are pretty messy though and wont compile on the latest SDK. If anyone needs anything else give me a shout.

hmmm?..

Curty sent me some code and I now know how to implement subsong support in TuneNet plugins. I have this already more or less implemented in the UADE plugin but there are still some major issues to be worked out with this before I can release it.

I had some crashing problems yesterday but it seems to be working fine now so maybe I fixed this somehow.

ah, a case of the classic computer miracle! :D
