You almost had it, unless you did a typo there. Missing a dot before name at the end.
var songTitle = PlaylistController.InstanceByName("PlaylistControllerOrchestra").ActiveAudioSource.clip.name;

Actually something strange is happening - it displays the correct song for about 1 second then it displays another song title from playlist.
I have songs loaded as clips which have a custom event on song ended - which plays a random song.
My custom event name is "PlayNextSong" - this does not clash with any Master Audio references does it?

This is the ReceiveEvent function in my MA_CustomEventReciever file:
public void ReceiveEvent(string customEventName, Vector3 originPoint) {
switch (customEventName) {
case "PlayerMoved":
Debug.Log("PlayerMoved event recieved by '" + name + "'.");
break;
case "PlayerStoppedMoving":
Debug.Log("PlayerStoppedMoving event recieved by '" + name + "'.");
break;
case "PlayAnotherSong":
Debug.Log("PlayAnotherSong event recieved by '" + name + "'.");
if(Application.loadedLevel == 1 || Application.loadedLevel == 2)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("TitleMusic"); //MasterAudio.StartPlaylist("Orchestra");
else
{
random = Random.Range(1,17);
if(random > 16)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Alleyuma");
else if(random > 15)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Bamrantoo");
else if(random > 14)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Culapino");
else if(random > 13)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Dope");
else if(random > 12)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Enuyirop");
else if(random > 11)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Fantyum");
else if(random > 10)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Grillin'");
else if(random > 9)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Hi You");
else if(random > 8)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Pluntou");
else if(random > 7)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Sanuyer");
else if(random > 6)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Sketza Short Mix 1");
else if(random > 5)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Somethin'");
else if(random > 4)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Surenger MIX 2");
else if(random > 3)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Tillard");
else if(random > 2)
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Tyonu");
else
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("Yearyu - 122");
}
break;
}
}

I have songs loaded as clips which have a custom event on song ended - which plays a random song. My custom event name is "PlayNextSong" - this does not clash with any Master Audio references does it? There are no "built in" Custom Events so it doesn't matter what you name yours. The code I posted will work until a song starts crossfading into another song, at which point the new song (the one fading in) will be displayed instead. You also would need to add a null check in case "clip" is null (may happen if Playlist was stopped). If you determine that something different is happening, you can send me a stripped down project that reproduces the problem. -Brian |

Thanks - turning off the cross fading worked great |

Hello - i have swapped from clip to resource mode for my playlist because it has grown to big to hold all in memory.
I haved changed my songs to stream - so all good there (no slight pause now ) but I cannot get custom songendevent to fire now - does it only work in clip mode?
I previously had my MA_CustomEventReciever file attached to the maincam or levelsettings module in each scene - can i just attach it to my playlistcontroller since it will be persistant and not have to attach it anywhere else in program?
Also how to i check for null on this statement?
var songTitle = PlaylistController.InstanceByName("PlaylistControllerOrchestra").ActiveAudioSource.clip.name;
Best regards,
Chris

SongEnded still works for me with Resource files. Sample code I used was the following in Unity 5:
PlaylistController.Instances[0].SongEnded += delegate {
Debug.Log("next: " + Time.frameCount);
};
By the way, SongEnded has nothing to do with Custom Events. Maybe you are confused?
Null check like this:
var songClip = PlaylistController.InstanceByName("PlaylistControllerOrchestra").ActiveAudioSource.clip;
var songTitle = "";
if (songClip != null) {
songTitle = clip.name;
}

Confused is one thing - but to be confused and not knowing that you are is far worse I had been using the Song Ended custom event the whole time and then adding the my CustomEventReciever to every scene. Your method of using a delegate is not only easier but is less resource hungry. Now I simply have a StartGameMusic script on each game level which calls the MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip("WhateverSongIwant") and then adds the delegate underneath this call. So far so good - thanks very much for all your help, your quick responses and most of all your patience. Best regards, Chris |
