sf::Music setPlayingOffset() - big latency?
« on: November 03, 2014, 03:59:55 pm »
Using setPlayingOffset() to seek through a short song (1 min) works with no noticeable latency, however when I try a longer (5.5 min) song it lags for about 2 seconds before resuming playback. Should this be happening? Can it be fixed, should I use sf::Sound, or what?

Not sure if it helps much, but here's the code where I call the function:
...
sf::Time t = sf::seconds(music.getDuration().asSeconds() * barPerc);
music.setPlayingOffset(t);
...
 

Please do tell if you need anything else!

Are you using the latest master revision from GitHub?

By the way, you don't need to convert seconds to float and back for multiplication. Just make sure the factor is a float value.

No, I am using the copy from the main page. Should I grab the latest version?

Yes. You should always do that if you report a potential bug. Chances are that the implementation has changed and things have been fixed meanwhile.
