I found this strange bug with the instruction IsMusicPlaying and as usual how work a instruction with one system and other.

Code: Select all

@MUSIC 1, "HappyBirthdaySong01.mp3"

PlayMusic(1, 1) ;HappyBirthdaySong01.

Function p_Musica()
 playing=IsMusicPlaying(1)
 ;If playing=True Then TextOut(#CENTER, #CENTER, "Music is End") ;Windows.
 If playing=False Then TextOut(#CENTER, #CENTER, "Music is End") ;MorphOS&AmigaOS3.x
EndFunction

InstallEventHandler({OnMusicEnd=p_Musica})

EscapeQuit(False)
Repeat
  WaitEvent
Forever

This time, as you like, a simple and clear code, where the instruction under Windows works in reverse way as to Amiga systems and in theory how does the manual say, in Windows with True and MorphOS&Amiga with False.
In my game project nows I have use both methods, activate it if the executable is for MorphOS&Amiga or if it is for Windows.
But this is not new, is being something habitual some instructions work to different way, sometimes by the operating system and others.........

Hi,
I can confirm this.

Using "playing=False" shows the text when music ends on MOS, but not on windows.

Changin to "playing=True" works on windows.

I think that add the brackets isn't the solution because the official instruction is without them.

I think that this "bug" is heritage when in ancient versions of Hollywood this instruction and the equivalent for the samples, didn't worked fine, how I use this join the event handler OnMusicEnd the problem has appeared. Because with the instruction uses un basic mode with "true" to stop the music works fine.

Yes, this is a bug and will be fixed. Of course, it doesn't make much sense to call IsMusicPlaying() in a callback that signals playback end but it's a bug nevertheless...

If you use the instruction for other special work, yes.

MCVE provided, fix received!

Code: Select all

- Fix: IsMusicPlaying() sometimes returned TRUE even after the "OnMusicEnd" event callback had triggered
