reaction speed soundinterface ipad

Tuur · April 22, 2012 at 3:34 PM

Hi,

i'm working on this rather nice ipad interface, old pics in a new coat we say in holland
And i like the buttons to play a short click sound when ondown.

But the reaction of the soundinterface or the ipad (ipad 3 here) is very slow so it makes no sence.

I was wondering if there is a way to tackle this delay...

Also rootpath is not working on soundinterface.js..

So i made a quick clean example..

- the duck is just playing the sound but with to much delay... (can that be better?)
- the bird has the rootpath not working..

I hope somebodey has some advice here..

Cheers

Your other once is found and working at

rootpath adds a path prefix. You have audio for the root path and again audio in the mp3 path and somehow you've uploaded it to audio/audio so it works..

If you want them to play quickly, just preload all the assets first.

Use the developer/inspect element, resources tab, and view source in chrome for xml issues.

I think you probably just need some nice sleep!

He he no you didn't undrstand the example ;)

The error is because, and to show, the rootpath doesn't work on ipad.
and the error you show is desktop error... on ipad it works fine :-?

So the duck has rootpath audio/. And also full relative path.. That works. Also without rootpath.
The bird has just the sound file and has to use the rootpath. And don't work.
To make it clear in call the audio map; sounds.
the link is now: http://virtualtuur.com/krpano/sounds/

So all sounds are here:
http://Virtualtuur.com/krpano/sounds/audio

The rootpath is audio. Relative to the xml.

The result is still the same...

Xml:

Code

<plugin name="btn_duck" url="../skin/duck.png" 
		keep="true" visible="true" 
		align="center" x="0" y="-20" 
		ondown="playsound_menu1();"
/>


<plugin name="btn_twit" url="../skin/twit_bird.png" 
		keep="true" visible="true" 
		align="center" x="200" y="-80" 
		ondown="playsound_menu2();"
		
/>


<action name="preload">


preloadsound(audio/sound_menu.mp3);
preloadsound(audio/sound_menu2.mp3);


</action>




<action name="playsound_menu1">
 playsound(sound_menu1, audio/sound_menu.mp3,1);
</action>


<action name="playsound_menu2">
 playsound(sound_menu2, sound_menu2.mp3,1);
</action>


<plugin name="soundinterface"
        url="soundinterface.swf"
        alturl="soundinterface.js"
        preload="true"
		rootpath="audio/"
        volume="0.6"
        mute="false"
		onloaded="preload();"
        />

So u say preload all.. I preload the sound interface... But should i give every sound his own soundinterface to preload all sounds?

so i did a preload now onloaded... still slowwww reaction..

ondesktop it works just the otherway around. there the bird does work and the duck gives an error.. because on desktop the rootpath works.

so when i take out the rootpath it will all work but... Too Slow..
is that normal on ipad? i want to give my buttons a sound when ondown..
Preload seems to make no difference at all..

I see. Looks like rootpath is not supported in the JS version.
I seem to remember just forgetting about this attribute and using %swfpath% or absolute paths for my audio.

Tuur · April 22, 2012 at 7:57 PM

yeah i saw that post this morning... but i was wondering if i can trigger a sound at the moment you touch teh ipad..
so i can give the control buttons a nice click..

would be nice..

it seems that the ipad is checking something every time when to play sound.
The sounds are just 10kb.. and preloaded

sachagriffin · April 22, 2012 at 8:15 PM

They didn't look preloaded to me. The aren't being downloaded at all / preloaded. That action "preload" may be a reserved name too.

Tuur · April 22, 2012 at 8:49 PM

mmm still the same...

xml:

Code

<krpano version="1.0.8" logkey="true" onstart="audiotest();">




<view hlookat="0" vlookat="0" fov="65" maxpixelzoom="1.0" fovmax="100" />


<preview url="../saas_4.tiles/preview.jpg" />






<plugin name="btn_duck" url="../skin/duck.png" 
		keep="true" visible="true" 
		align="center" x="0" y="-20" 
		ondown="playsound_menu1();"
/>


<plugin name="btn_twit" url="../skin/twit_bird.png" 
		keep="true" visible="true" 
		align="center" x="200" y="-80" 
		ondown="playsound_menu2();"
		
/>


<action name="audiotest">


preloadsound(audio/sound_menu.mp3);
preloadsound(audio/sound_menu2.mp3);


</action>




<action name="playsound_menu1">
 playsound(sound_menu1, audio/sound_menu.mp3,1);
</action>


<action name="playsound_menu2">
 playsound(sound_menu2, sound_menu2.mp3,1);
</action>


<plugin name="soundinterface"
        url="soundinterface.swf"
        alturl="soundinterface.js"
        preload="true"
		rootpath="audio/"
        volume="0.6"
        mute="false"
		onloaded="audiotest();"
        />

do you or somebody have an example that the sound plays immediately when ondown??

Looks like rootpath AND preloadsound are not supported on the JS version.

Try a hand built preloader....

Code

preload(audio/sound_menu.mp3);
	<action name="preload">
				addplugin(preloader);
				set(plugin[preloader].visible, false);
				set(plugin[preloader].keep, true);
				set(plugin[preloader].onloaded, removeplugin(preloader));
				set(plugin[preloader].url, %1);
</action>

Tuur · April 23, 2012 at 1:06 PM

mmm..

seems not to make any difference..

sachagriffin · April 23, 2012 at 3:24 PM

I don't know Tuur.
Flash seems ok.
Javascript seems like it is really slow.
I'm email Klaus.

The preloading worked now though.

Hi,

preloading video or audio is not possible on iOS,
that means the video or audio will be reloaded on every play,

changing that is currently not possible, because that is an iOS limitation,

best regards,
Klaus

the onloaded event doesn't work / can't be used when preloading is enabled!

So Tuur I think there is only one way for you. No click on IOS. One time I also wanted to have fast click but after several hours trying this or that decided not to have it as couldn't get it play fast enough.
