read audio from the web
Hi, is there a way to make sfplay~read audio from the web ? An ftp server for instance ?
thanks, Romain
read would mean to download file.
jit.uldl or maxurl
or use some streaming format like mp3
and play using jweb
i'm looking for a way to read the file without downloading it,
and without getting to use an interface.
i'd like to read a file using an url instead of a local path
There is allways some sort of download involved.
Even a web browser stores files in cache.
If you can live with output to system sound device,
without need to route audio to msp, jweb would do.
files need to be mp3.
I don't know if one can set handling of file types in jweb as one would in
other web browsers.
But maybe you want to mount remote ftp server
and read from that ?
Why don't you try it ?
To test path, use dropfile to get the path to file.
P.S. on Mac that should be possible without any additional software,
you can mount remote servers and read from that.
I don't know about windows...
