musicpos and musiclen

[Gunderak]

Hey, just trying to calculate the position of a song in seconds.
I'm assuming musiclen and musicpos are in bytes? not bits?
So it's either /1024 or /1000 not sure.
Anyway, iv'e tried a few things.
This seemed the most logical but failed.

PHP Code:

  temp.mp = musicpos; //Current position, assuming it's the current byte you're at.
  temp.ml = musiclen; //Total bytes.
  temp.bitrate = 128; //The bit rate of the song, needed to get seconds.
  temp.mps = musicpos/1024/bitrate/60; //Should be the second you're at. 


Any advice?

Uh, they're probably in seconds if they work at all. Did you try just looking at their value as you play music?

This is what I use for my jukebox on Era iPhone.

PHP Code:

  temp.songLengthInSeconds = int(musiclen/1000);
  temp.songPositionInSeconds = int(musicpos/1000);
  
  if (int(temp.songPositionInSeconds/60) == -1) {
    temp.musicPosition = "00:00";
    temp.musicLength = "??:??";
  }
  else {
    temp.musicPosition = (int(temp.songPositionInSeconds/60) >= 10 ? int(temp.songPositionInSeconds/60) : "0" @ int(temp.songPositionInSeconds/60)) @ ":" @ (temp.songPositionInSeconds%60 >= 10 ? temp.songPositionInSeconds%60 : "0" @ temp.songPositionInSeconds%60);
    temp.musicLength = (int(temp.songLengthInSeconds/60) >= 10 ? int(temp.songLengthInSeconds/60) : "0" @ int(temp.songLengthInSeconds/60)) @ ":" @ (temp.songLengthInSeconds%60 >= 10 ? temp.songLengthInSeconds%60 : "0" @ temp.songLengthInSeconds%60);
  }
  
  this.chat = temp.musicPosition SPC "/" SPC temp.musicLength;

Cbk, I did look at them while playing music, but it just gives back a crazy integer.
It isn't even the total bytes of the song.
Thanks xXZiroXx for your example, but what exactly is musicpos and musiclen returning?

From that snippet he posted, it looks like milliseconds. Just add player.chat = musicpos; in a timeout and see what happens to it as a song plays.
