NAME¶
SDL::Mixer::Music - functions for music
CATEGORY¶
Mixer
METHODS¶
load_MUS¶
my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::load_MUS( $file );
"load_MUS" loads a music file into a "SDL::Mixer::MixMusic"
structure. This can be passed to play_music.
load_MUS_RW¶
my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::load_MUS_RW( $rwops );
"load_MUS_RW" does the same like "load_MUS" except that it
accepts an SDL::RWOps-object rather than a filename.
Example for loading music from a variable:
use SDL;
use SDL::Mixer;
use SDL::Mixer::Music;
use SDL::RWOps;
[...]
my $rwops = SDL::RWOps->new_const_mem( $scalar_holding_music );
my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::load_MUS( $rwops );
Note: You need at least libSDL_mixer 1.2.7 for this feature.
hook_music¶
SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music( $callback, $position );
This sets up a custom music player function, so you can pass your own audio
stream data into the SDL::Mixer. The function will be called with
"position" passed into the first parameter when the
"callback" is called. The audio stream buffer has to be filled with
length bytes of music (2nd parameter). The music player will then be called
automatically when the mixer needs it. Music playing will start as soon as
this is called. All the music playing and stopping functions have no effect on
music after this. Pause and resume will work. Using a custom music player and
the internal music player is not possible, the custom music player takes
priority.
To stop the custom music player call "hook_music()" without arguments.
Note: NEVER call "SDL::Mixer" functions, nor SDL::Audio::lock,
from a callback function.
Note: At program termination also call
"SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music()" to stop this callback.
Example:
sub callback
{
my $position = shift; # position (first time its 0, on each call $length is added)
my $length = shift; # length of bytes we have to put in stream
my @stream = '';
printf("position=%8d, stream length=%6d\n", $position, $length);
for(my $i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
push(@stream, (($i + $position) & 0xFF));
}
return @stream;
}
SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music( 'main::callback', 0 );
hook_music_finished¶
SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music_finished( 'main::callback' );
This callback is called when music called by e.g. SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music
or SDL::Mixer::Music::fade_in_music stops naturally. This happens when the
music is over or is fading out.
Note: If you play music via SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music, this callback
will never be called.
Example:
my $music_is_playing = 0;
my @music = qw(first.mp3 next.mp3 other.mp3 last.mp3);
sub callback
{
$music_is_playing = 0;
}
SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music_finished( 'main::callback' );
foreach my $this_song ( @music )
{
SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music( $this_song, 0 );
$music_is_playing = 1;
SDL::delay( 100 ) while( $music_is_playing );
}
SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music_finished(); # cleanup
get_music_hook_data¶
my $position = SDL::Mixer::Music::get_music_hook_data();
Returns the "position" (first) parameter that will be passed to
SDL::Mixer::Music::hook_music's callback.
play_music¶
my $play_music = SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music( $mix_music, $loops );
"play_music" plays a given "SDL::Mixer::MixMusic". Passing
-1 to $loops will loop the music infinitely.
Example:
my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::load_MUS( 'music.mp3' );
unless(SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music($sample_music, -1))
{
print("Something went wrong!\n");
}
fade_in_music¶
my $music = SDL::Mixer::Music::fade_in_music( $mix_music, $loops, $ms );
Same as SDL::Mixer::Music::play_music but you can specify the fade-in time by
$ms.
fade_out_music¶
my $fading_music = SDL::Mixer::Music::fade_out_music( $ms );
"fade_out_music" fades out the music with a duration specified in
"ms" in milliseconds.
Returns the the number of channels that will be faded out.
fading_music¶
my $fading_music = SDL::Mixer::Music::fading_music();
Returns one of the following:
- •
- MIX_NO_FADING
- •
- MIX_FADING_OUT
- •
- MIX_FADING_IN
volume_music¶
my $volume_before = SDL::Mixer::Music::volume_music( $new_volume );
"volume_music" set the volume in $new_volume and returns the volume
that was set before. Passing "-1" as argument causes only to return
the current volume.
Volume is between 0 (silence) and "MIX_MAX_VOLUME = 128".
Example:
# set the music volume to 1/2 maximum, and then check it
printf( "volume was : %d\n", SDL::Mixer::Music::volume_music( MIX_MAX_VOLUME / 2 ) );
printf( "volume is now : %d\n", SDL::Mixer::Music::volume_music( -1 ) );
halt_music¶
SDL::Mixer::Music::halt_music();
Halts the music.
pause_music¶
SDL::Mixer::Music::pause_music();
Pauses the music.
resume_music¶
SDL::Mixer::Music::resume_music();
Resumes the music.
rewind_music¶
SDL::Mixer::Music::rewind_music();
Rewinds the music.
set_music_position¶
SDL::Mixer::Music::set_music_position( $position );
Set the position of the currently playing music. The position takes different
meanings for different music sources. It only works on the music sources
listed below.
- MOD
- The double is cast to Uint16 and used for a pattern number
in the module. Passing zero is similar to rewinding the song.
- OGG
- Jumps to position seconds from the beginning of the
song.
- MP3
- Jumps to position seconds from the current position in the
stream. So you may want to call SDL::Mixer::Music::rewind_music before
this. Does not go in reverse... negative values do nothing.
Returns: 0 on success, or "-1" if the codec doesn't support this
function.
paused_music¶
my $paused = SDL::Mixer::Music::paused_music();
Returns 1 if the music is paused, otherwise 0.
playing_music¶
my $playing_music = SDL::Mixer::Music::playing_music();
Returns 1 if the music is playing sound, otherwise 0. It doesn't check if the
music is paused.
