Yes, so, a couple of weeks ago I upload a major update with countless new things and bugfixes, and one of them was streaming support for [play.file~]. I was able to test and play one stream just fine when it came out, but I made a silly bug and couldn't play from roman's netpd stream or local streams later. I fixed that now on master and will make a whole new update maybe next week or so.
The thing is that some users are having issues with this object on Linux and I have to figure out why it might work sometimes and why not. It seems fine on macOS/Win though. I tried fixing the Linux issue this week and it didn't work. It's having some issues linking ffmpeg, I'm not sure. And by the way, while I was fixing the streaming, I took the streaming capability away from [play.file~] and just put into a new [streamin~] object, which is already up in my master branch with the mentioned fixes. And yeah, I'm also including a [streamout~] object. The idea is to offer a more modern option that can handle mp3, ogg/vorbis, ogg/opus, flac and what not. I guess I can squeeze it in with at least ogg support in the next update next week. For later, I'll work on write.file~, which will handle all the many many formats ffmpeg and play.file~ can handle. Sorry it's all still coming out of the oven, it'll be ready soon ;) It's supposed to be much more modern and offer more features and be more stable than existing old externals. If you're not in Linux you might be able to work with the existing [play.file~], but note all that's about to come in a week or so. cheers Em qua., 21 de mai. de 2025 às 07:47, Roman Haefeli <reduz...@gmail.com> escreveu: > > On Wed, 2025-05-21 at 09:40 +0000, bidsmail...@gmail.com wrote: > > Again, just to clarify, I want to receive three separate internet mp3 > > streams within one PD patch.
