BASS_HLS_StreamCreateFile

Creates a sample stream from a local HLS playlist.

HSTREAM BASS_HLS_StreamCreateFile(
    BOOL mem,
    void *file,
    QWORD offset,
    QWORD length,
    DWORD flags
);

Parameters

mem

TRUE = stream the file from memory.

file

Filename (mem = FALSE) or a memory location (mem = TRUE).

offset

File offset to begin streaming from (only used if mem = FALSE).

length

Data length... 0 = use all data up to the end of the file (if mem = FALSE).

flags

A combination of these flags.

BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT	Use 32-bit floating-point sample data. See Floating-point channels for info. Otherwise the sample data will be 16-bit.
BASS_SAMPLE_SOFTWARE	Force the stream to not use hardware DirectSound mixing.
BASS_SAMPLE_3D	Enable 3D functionality. This requires that the BASS_DEVICE_3D flag was specified when calling BASS_Init, and the stream must be mono. The SPEAKER flags can not be used together with this flag.
BASS_SAMPLE_FX	Enable the old implementation of DirectX 8 effects. See the DX8 effect implementations section for details. Use BASS_ChannelSetFX to add effects to the stream.
BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE	Automatically free the stream when playback ends.
BASS_STREAM_DECODE	Decode the sample data, without playing it. Use BASS_ChannelGetData to retrieve decoded sample data. The BASS_SAMPLE_3D, BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE and SPEAKER flags can not be used together with this flag. The BASS_SAMPLE_SOFTWARE and BASS_SAMPLE_FX flags are also ignored.
BASS_SPEAKER_xxx	Speaker assignment flags. These flags have no effect when the stream is more than stereo.
BASS_UNICODE	file is in UTF-16 form. Otherwise it is ANSI on Windows or Windows CE, and UTF-8 on other platforms.

Return value

If successful, the new stream's handle is returned, else 0 is returned. Use BASS_ErrorGetCode to get the error code.

Error codes

BASS_ERROR_INIT	BASS_Init has not been successfully called.
BASS_ERROR_NOTAVAIL	Only decoding channels (BASS_STREAM_DECODE) are allowed when using the "no sound" device. The BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE flag is also unavailable to decoding channels.
BASS_ERROR_ILLPARAM	The length must be specified when streaming from memory.
BASS_ERROR_FILEOPEN	The file could not be opened.
BASS_ERROR_FILEFORM	The file's format is not recognised/supported.
BASS_ERROR_FORMAT	The sample format is not supported by the device/drivers. If the stream is more than stereo or the BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT flag is used, it could be that they are not supported.
BASS_ERROR_SPEAKER	The specified SPEAKER flags are invalid. The device/drivers do not support them, they are attempting to assign a stereo stream to a mono speaker or 3D functionality is enabled.
BASS_ERROR_MEM	There is insufficient memory.
BASS_ERROR_NO3D	Could not initialize 3D support.
BASS_ERROR_UNKNOWN	Some other mystery problem!

Remarks

This is a local file version of the BASS_HLS_StreamCreateURL function. If the media segments are local files then the full path to the media (or master) playlist should be given in file.
