# vgmstream

This is vgmstream, a library for playing streamed audio from video games.

There are multiple end-user bits:

- a command line decoder called "test.exe"
- a Winamp plugin called "in_vgmstream"
- a foobar2000 component called "foo_input_vgmstream"
- an XMPlay plugin called "xmp-vgmstream"
- an Audacious plugin called "libvgmstream"

## IMPORTANT!!
### Needed files (for Windows)
Since Ogg Vorbis, MPEG audio, and other formats are now supported, you will
need to have certain DLL files.<br/>
In the case of the foobar2000 component they are all bundled for convenience,
or you can get them from here: https://github.com/kode54/vgmstream
(also here: https://f.losno.co/vgmstream-win32-deps.zip, may not be latest).

Put ```libvorbis.dll```, ```libmpg123-0.dll```, ```libg7221_decode.dll```, ```libg719_decode.dll```,
```at3plusdecoder.dll```, ```avcodec-vgmstream-57.dll```, ```avformat-vgmstream-57.dll```, 
```avutil-vgmstream-55.dll``` and ```swresample-vgmstream-2.dll``` somewhere Windows can
find them.
For Winamp/XMPlay/```test.exe``` this means in the directory with the .exe, or in a
system directory, or any other directory in the PATH variable.

### ```test.exe```
```
Usage: ./test [-o outfile.wav] [-l loop count]
    [-f fade time] [-d fade delay] [-ipcmxeE] infile
Options:
    -o outfile.wav: name of output .wav file, default is dump.wav
    -l loop count: loop count, default 2.0
    -f fade time: fade time (seconds), default 10.0
    -d fade delay: fade delay (seconds, default 0.0
    -i: ignore looping information and play the whole stream once
    -p: output to stdout (for piping into another program)
    -P: output to stdout even if stdout is a terminal
    -c: loop forever (continuously)
    -m: print metadata only, don't decode
    -x: decode and print adxencd command line to encode as ADX
    -g: decode and print oggenc command line to encode as OGG
    -b: decode and print batch variable commands
    -L: append a smpl chunk and create a looping wav
    -e: force end-to-end looping
    -E: force end-to-end looping even if file has real loop points
    -r outfile2.wav: output a second time after resetting
    -2 N: only output the Nth (first is 0) set of stereo channels
    -F: don't fade after N loops and play the rest of the stream
    -s N: select subtream N, if the format supports multiple streams
```
Typical usage would be: ```test -o happy.wav happy.adx``` to decode ```happy.adx``` to ```happy.wav```.

### in_vgmstream
Drop the ```in_vgmstream.dll``` in your Winamp plugins directory. Please follow
the above instructions for installing the other files needed.

### xmp-vgmstream
Drop the ```xmp-vgmstream.dll``` in your XMPlay plugins directory. Please follow
the above instructions for installing the other files needed.

Note that there are minor differences compared to in_vgmstream. Since XMPlay
supports Winamp plugins you may also use ```in_vgmstream.dll``` instead.

Because the XMPlay MP3 decoder incorrectly tries to play some vgmstream exts,
you need to manually fix it by going to **options > plugins > input > vgmstream**
and in the "priority filetypes" put: ```awc,ckd,fsb,genh,msf,p3d,rak,scd,xvag```

### foo_input_vgmstream 
Every file should be installed automatically by the .fb2k-component bundle.

### Audacious plugin 
Needs to be manually built. Instructions can be found in the source files.

### File types supported by this version of vgmstream

As manakoAT likes to say, the extension doesn't really mean anything, but it's
the most obvious way to identify files.

This list is not complete and many other files are supported.
