Issues with WWW resource loading
I am using the WWW class to load audio-clips at runtime as selected by the user. However, I am currently facing two issues. I am posting a code example here to explain.
IEnumerator LoadSong(string trackpath)
{
WWW checker = new WWW("file://"+trackpath);
yield return checker;
audClip = checker.GetAudioClip(true,true);
}
This NEVER works. More specifically the line yield return checker; doesn't. I have to replace that with while(!checker.isDone); to forcibly wait till the clip is loaded. What am I doing wrong here?
Secondly, some songs will never load too. After extensive testing I found out that almost 5 out of 200 songs don't load. Also even if the audio isn't loaded audClip doesn't return a NULL value which suggests that something is being loaded, however
Debug.Log("No of Samples : "+audClip.samples);
Debug.Log ("Frequency : " + audClip.frequency);
Debug.Log("No of channels : "+audClip.channels);
Debug.Log("No of length : "+audClip.length);
all four values return 0. I believe this problem is related to yield not working properly.
Any help here would be much appreciated.
For the WWW problem:
It sounds like you are calling the function instead of starting a coroutine. Here's the link to the docs, but in short:
//Do this
StartCoroutine(LoadSong());
//Instead of this
LoadSong();
For the songs not loading:
If some of the songs work, but other don't, I don't think it's a problem with the WWW fetch. Maybe there is something different about the files themselves (size, format, etc). Just a guess.

Okay, is there any way to get WWW working on PC? Say I have an mp3 in my d:/songs/ folder, how do I use WWW to retrieve that?
