Radio streaming

Question

Hello to all.

I'm New to unity and I am trying to learn developing applications for mobile devices with 3d graphics. So, in my first application I am creating a driving simulation and I want the player to listen to live radio stations. But, from my research till now, I could not make it happen. Unity's www library with streaming=true audio clips don't seem to work. Can anyone help me or give me a tip?

Any help appreciated.

Ps: I prefer not to use plugins since I want to learn do it on my own. Thank you in advance.

@PaulKevin Thank you for your answer Paul. I am really looking for a no-plugin way so I can code it on my own and learn unity this way. Thank you anyways again for your answer.

Ok. So I managed to make a url stream BUT there are glitches of ~0.5 seconds between clip plays and ofcour the result is not acceptable. Can anyone help me?

The interval is 3 and I call this method on update if play boolean is true. Any ideas?

     IEnumerator streeeam()
         {
             Debug.Log(timer + " INT : " + interval);
     
             timer = timer + 100 * Time.deltaTime; 
     
             if (timer >= interval)
             {             //if(timer%interval == 0){
                 if (www != null)
                 {
                     www.Dispose();
                     www = null;
                     played = false;
                     timer = 0;
                 }
             }
     
             if (www == null)
             {
                 PLOG("www is empty. Going to initialize www.");
                 //www = new WWW(url);
                 www = new WWW("http://dromos898.live24.gr/dromos898");
                 PLOG("Downloading...");
                 //wait for the download to build up a buffer
                 while (www.progress < 0.001f)
                     yield return null;
                 PLOG("We got www. Lets proceed.");
             }
             clip = www.GetAudioClip(false, true, AudioType.MPEG);
             yield return clip;
     
             if (clip != null)
             {
                 PLOG("Clip is not null. Trying to play clip");
                 if (clip.loadState == AudioDataLoadState.Loaded && !played)
                 {
                     PLOG("Clip loaded. Going to play?");
                     if (!audioSource.isPlaying)
                     {
                         PLOG("We are not playing. So lets move on...");
                         audioSource.clip = clip;
                         audioSource.Play();
                         played = true;
                         clip = new AudioClip();
                         
                     }
                 }
                 play = true;
             }
         }

Answer 2

I guess this might help

Download bass and bass.net from http://bass.radio42.com
Place the 64-bit bass.dll into your unity root project folder
Place the Bass.Net.dll into the unity plugins directory

Create a c# file

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System; using Un4seen.Bass;

public class AudioStream : MonoBehaviour { public string url = "http://111.11.11.11:1111/Live";

  private int stream;
  
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start ()
     {
         Bass.BASS_SetConfig(BASSConfig.BASS_CONFIG_NET_PLAYLIST, 0);
  
         Bass.BASS_Init(-1, 44100, BASSInit.BASS_DEVICE_DEFAULT, IntPtr.Zero);
  
         stream = Bass.BASS_StreamCreateURL(url, 0, BASSFlag.BASS_DEFAULT,  null, IntPtr.Zero);
  
         PlayStream(url);
     }
  
     public void PlayStream(string url)
     {
         if(stream != 0)
         {
             Bass.BASS_ChannelPlay(stream, false);
         }
         else
         {
             Debug.Log ("BASS Error Code = " + Bass.BASS_ErrorGetCode());
         }
     }
  
     public void StopStream()
     {
         Bass.BASS_ChannelStop(stream);
     }
  
     // Get the Channel Information
     public string  GetChannelInfo()
     {
         BASS_CHANNELINFO info = new BASS_CHANNELINFO();
         Bass.BASS_ChannelGetInfo(stream, info);
         return info.ToString ();
     }
  
     public void SetVolume(float value)
     {
         Bass.BASS_SetVolume(value);
     }
  
     void OnApplicationQuit()
     {
             // free the stream
             Bass.BASS_StreamFree(stream);
             // free BASS
             Bass.BASS_Free();
     }
  
 }

Registering BassdotNet

.

  void Awake()
  {
  BassNet.Registration("sample@gmail.com", "XXXXXXXXXXX");
  }

Hope this might help you achieve what you are trying to do.

@Ginxx009 That helped me, thank you.

Any way I can use this in conjunction with Audio Source, for spatial sound?
