ESS 'Unable to load sound'
Nov 7th, 2007, 12:18pm  
just trying to get an mp playing using the ESS library.. have pretty much tried copying a simple example from the docs... so in a class i have:

Code:


public void setup()

{




size(500,500);


background(0);



Ess.start(this);




frameRate(30);


 myChannel = new AudioChannel("C:/workspaceProcessing/SoundVisualiserTest/bin/raver.mp3");


 bufferSize=myChannel.buffer.length;


 bufferDuration=myChannel.ms(bufferSize);




 myFFT=new FFT(512);


 

}


but i keep getting an Unable to load sound path error. Anyone had this before?

Cheers
James

do you have the other libraries you need to load mp3 in place? because ess will give the same error in case you haven't ...

Hi Guys,

although i installed the three other libraries, i keep getting the same message "unable to load sound xxx". I believe i'm placing them in the wrong folder. I tried the folder "code" inside the project, libraries and Ess folder. Still not working. How can i install them correctly?

many many thanx

You install into a folder named 'data' in your project folder.

Hi,
I'm also trying to use ESS to play an mp3 file but Processing displays the "unable to load sound" message.

I've downloaded the .jar files (jl 1.0.jar, mp3spi 1.9.4.jar and tritonus_share.jar) and placed them in "C:\Program Files\processing-0135\libraries\Ess\library".

I also tried putting them in a "data" folder next to my .pde but it doesn't help.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks

I've been fooling around with ess loading sound and found that i could only import aiff files... this could be an option for using ess, but i find it a bit limiting as well

If you are using java 1.6 it wont work until the tritonus library is buitl with java 1.6 which seems unlikely unfortunately.

Running Mac Leopard:

Make sure to add the required files:
http://www.tree-axis.com/Ess/mp3_import.html

Add mp3 files into
dir_to_sketch/data/someSound.mp3

Wait for a bit when loading a "real" song. Everything works after that.
