ALAudioPlayer API¶

Methods¶

float ALAudioPlayerProxy::getCurrentPosition(const int& taskId)¶

Returns the position in seconds in the file currently played. The Id of the playing task will be returned when calling a play method (eg. ALAudioPlayerProxy::play) in a non-blocking manner. See below for an example in Python.

import sys
import time
from naoqi import ALProxy

if (len(sys.argv) < 2):
    print "Usage: 'python audioplayer_play.py IP [PORT]'"
    sys.exit(1)

IP = sys.argv[1]
PORT = 9559
if (len(sys.argv) > 2):
    PORT = sys.argv[2]
try:
    aup = ALProxy("ALAudioPlayer", IP, PORT)
except Exception,e:
    print "Could not create proxy to ALAudioPlayer"
    print "Error was: ",e
    sys.exit(1)

#plays a file and get the current position 5 seconds later
fileId = aup.post.playFile("/usr/share/naoqi/wav/random.wav")

time.sleep(5)

#currentPos should be near 5 secs
currentPos = aup.getCurrentPosition(fileId)

Parameters:	taskId – Id of the task handling the currently playing of the file
Returns:	Current position in seconds

float ALAudioPlayerProxy::getFileLength(const int& taskId)¶

Returns the length in second of the file that is currently played.

Parameters:	taskId – Id of the task handling the playing of the file
Returns:	Length of the file in seconds

std::vector<std::string> ALAudioPlayerProxy::getLoadedFilesIds()¶

Returns an array containing the task Ids corresponding to the currently loaded files. File can be loaded using ALAudioPlayerProxy::loadFile.

Returns:	Array of task Ids

std::vector<std::string> ALAudioPlayerProxy::getLoadedFilesNames()¶

Returns an array containing the filenames (absolute paths) of the currently loaded files. File can be loaded using ALAudioPlayerProxy::loadFile.

Returns:	Array of filenames

float ALAudioPlayerProxy::getMasterVolume()¶

Returns the master volume used by ALAudioPlayer for playback. This volume can be set by using ALAudioPlayerProxy::setMasterVolume. This volume is independent of the system volume that can be set through ALAudioDevice.

Returns:	Volume [0.0 - 1.0]

float ALAudioPlayerProxy::getVolume(const int& taskId)¶

Returns the volume level at which the specified task should be played. This volume is independent of the master volume set with ALAudioPlayerProxy::setMasterVolume. This task dependent volume can be set by using ALAudioPlayerProxy::setVolume.

Parameters:	taskId – Id of the task handling the playing of the file
Returns:	Volume - [0.0 - 1.0]

void ALAudioPlayerProxy::goTo(const int& taskId, const float& position)¶

Jumps to a given position in second in the specified file.

Parameters:	taskId – Id of the task handling the playing of the file position – Position in the file (in second)

import sys
import time
from naoqi import ALProxy

if (len(sys.argv) < 2):
    print "Usage: 'python audioplayer_goto.py IP [PORT]'"
    sys.exit(1)

IP = sys.argv[1]
PORT = 9559
if (len(sys.argv) > 2):
    PORT = sys.argv[2]
try:
    aup = ALProxy("ALAudioPlayer", IP, PORT)
except Exception,e:
    print "Could not create proxy to ALAudioPlayer"
    print "Error was: ",e
    sys.exit(1)

#Launchs the playing of a file, waits for 2 seconds, and goes to the 5th second
fileId = aup.post.playFile("/usr/share/naoqi/wav/random.wav")
time.sleep(1)
aup.goTo(fileId,2)

int ALAudioPlayerProxy::loadFile(const std::string& fileName)¶
