I'm trying to display the length of audio files in a Playlist component for an application. I've not used Juce or C++ before, and I can't understand how to do that from Juce documentation. I want to make a function that takes an audio file's URL and returns the length in seconds of that audio without playing that file or doing anything else with that file. I've tried a lot of things, and all of them didn't work, and this is the last thing I've tried:
void PlaylistComponent::trackStats(URL audioURL)
{
AudioFormatManager formatManager;
std::unique_ptr<AudioFormatReaderSource> readerSource;
AudioTransportSource transportSource;
auto* reader = formatManager.createReaderFor(audioURL.createInputStream(false));
if (reader != nullptr)
{
std::unique_ptr<AudioFormatReaderSource> newSource(new AudioFormatReaderSource(reader, true));
transportSource.setSource(newSource.get(), 0, nullptr, reader->sampleRate);
readerSource.reset(newSource.release());
DBG("PlaylistComponent::trackStats(URL audioURL): " << transportSource.getLengthInSeconds());
}
else
{
DBG("Something went wrong loading the file");
}
}
And this is the PlaylistComponent header file:
class PlaylistComponent : public juce::Component,
public juce::TableListBoxModel,
public Button::Listener,
public FileDragAndDropTarget
{
...
}
juce::AudioFormatReaderSource has a method called getTotalLength()
which returns the total amount of samples.
Divide that by the sample rate of the file and you have the total length in seconds. Something like this:
if (auto* reader = audioFormatReaderSource->getAudioFormatReader())
double lengthInSeconds = static_cast<double> (audioFormatReaderSource->getTotalLength()) / reader->sampleRate;
