Tunenet support for WMAs

This has probably been discussed to death and is not feasible considering I'm talking about a copyrighted Windows format, (I think) but is it possible or will it be possible to play WMAs through Tunenet at any point in the future?

We have quite a few WMA files here which would need converting to MP3 in order to play which, to be frank, is a pain in the @rse!

Your comments would be appreciated.

Da Rude!

@Rudei

I think MPlayer can play them.

@Rudei

With the modular way that TuneNet can support different filetypes I'd say it would be more than feasable. Whether or not a driver will come about any time soon or not is another matter.

If someone could point me in the direction of a decent bit of code / decoder id be more than willing to give it a go.
I did find some wma decoder source before but had no luck with it.

@Curty

That would be good and would save me a lot of time and would possibly warrant a further donation to the TuneNet package!
/me goes off to look for some code.

Da Rude!

@Curty

Which one did you try last time?
FFMPEG has an decoder/encoder.


svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

The more support for Tunenet the better. It's the only piece of music playing software I use on OS4...

@Skov

Me too, dropped any other and TunNet keeps getting better
and better...

@Rudei

A little update,
Found a stripped ffmpeg wma player.
Have managed to compile the lib but a certain function to open the file doesnt work.
Ummm.......
I will try to get to the bottom of this,
once I do a Tunenet plugin should be a breeze!!!
Not promising anything tho.

@Curty

That would be ace matey!

Da Rude!

yes, the best way is use mplayer/ffmpg encoder/decoder source
it plays all formats

@Rudei

Just to let you all know ive been working on a WMA plugin tonight and I have something running.

Just added tag support, now to work out something for seeking, umm.

@Curty

Wow

Great work mate

@Curty

Nice one mate!
Thanks,

Rude!

@Curty

Any news about WMA plugin ?

Are there any possibility to have it for the upcoming release ?

@samo79

Yes there is, I plan to release soon along with another plugin.

@Raziel

I also think, Tunenet is great. OTOH I still use sometimes the old Soundplayer (!!!) becouse it is the only one that can read damaged audio CDs !

@Curty

@Curty

A mplayer plugin for tunenet anyone?
(xmms on linux uses mpalyer for certain formats).
Mpayer can be used in a "slave" mode (using pipe for commands)
