Can you also try the FMOD_MPEGSEARCH flag?

Tried this also, no change. Logs remain the same.

The original example also included:

FMOD_NONBLOCKING

in the createSound call. Have you tried putting it back in?

From what I can tell, the examples need to be updated to the iOS 4.1 SDK. It’s worth noting that just importing an SDK 2.0 project into the latest XCode may not be completely clean. We’ve had to re-do entire projects because of strange artifacts in the project files and interface builder files that could not be seen in the interface, but caused EXC_BAD_ACCESS errors.

The problem is the AudioQueue codec isn’t really designed with net streaming in mind, it does internal seeks larger than the net stream block size.

My recommendation would be to ensure the FMOD software MPEG decoder is used for net streams instead. You can do this by using FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO and setting the suggestedsoundtype member to FMOD_SOUND_TYPE_MPEG.

Thanks much, this works to fix it!
I’m having trouble when the filename has spaces. Tried both %20 and a regular space character.

Thanks,

This is probably due to tags, for net streams you can’t seek, so reading the tags from MP3s can be problematic. I would recommend using the FMOD_IGNORETAGS flags in createSound.

Hi,

Thanks for your recommendation. I am now trying it with:
[code:3pxksoxv]
result = system->createStream(buffer, FMOD_SOFTWARE | FMOD_LOOP_NORMAL | FMOD_IGNORETAGS, NULL, &sound);
ERRCHECK(result);
[/code:3pxksoxv]

Still get the same results. Logs attaached below (on simulator).

Thanks,
-Vamshi
