Caching & More Robust Loading about swiftaudio HOT 7 OPEN

Nice!

Yeah, I have thought about the same thing and it is definitely something that should be added 👍

from swiftaudio.

I also come from react-native-track-player and would love to see gapless queues implemented.

yes the library is so clean, a small suggestion is to use the same mentioned custom AVPlayerItem in SwiftAudio.

@dcvz Hey, I am trying to add caching to SwiftAudio using https://github.com/neekeetab/CachingPlayerItem

but the func add and load take AudioItem add(items: [AudioItem], playWhenReady: Bool = true)

and in the caching library AVPlayer take CachingPlayerItem so how to integrate it?

Thank in Advance

@dcvz We could also add a preloading functionality.

Thanks @dcvz for react-native-track-player. I came looking if the underlying SwiftAudio provides a preloading functionality.
I am not an iOS developer but will try to implement this feature in a fork. I'll let you know if I come up with something.
This is a must-have to built apps with awesome feeds (Instagram e.g.) with almost 0 load time.

@dcvz I have attempted a preload functionality in SwiftAudio and tested with react-native-track-player.
The playing becomes as fast as a downloaded asset. I have been testing this for a few days.

P.S. I am not sure about the implications it can bring, I took the implementation idea from this comment.

@dcvz I am managing the queue in JavaScript because the underneath QueueAudioPlayer is not preloading the next track, so, I have exported the preload function to RNTrackPlayer with preload/cancelPreload implementation in this commit.

I feel we should split it into 2 separate features.

1. Caching while Playing. Similar to https://github.com/neekeetab/CachingPlayerItem.
2. Preloading any asset programmatically.

Can we also let AVQueuePlayer handle the queue for us?
There's some discussion that it internally preloads the next track but I cannot confirm.
