[touhou_bad_apple_v4.5.py] pygame.error: Unrecognized audio format

[0n1cOn3]

Hey :) Its been a while since my last ticket :)
I have a new one for yaa. Even when this project was a weekend project. im still amazed about your progress..

It seems to be that there is something wrong with the audio format...

see log:

python3 touhou_bad_apple_v4.5.py

Select option:

1. Play
2. Exit

Hi there, are you running it specifically for the purpose of Bad Apple or just for a generic video? Also, it would be great if you could tell me what environment you are running this on.

[0n1cOn3]

Specific for the Bad Apple video purpose.
OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Shell: zsh/bash
Python: 3.8.10
pip: 20.0.2
SDL: 2.0.14

I'm not sure if I understand this correctly:

I see the variable "path_to_file" but the variable in
def play_audio
in
pygame.mixer.music.load()
is set as (path).

Could this not be a problem?

PS: Oh, thats on V3.0 🤦🏻‍♂️ But same error there.

[CalvinLoke]

No I don't think that is really the issue, though I have to admit when it comes to naming conventions I am terribly garbage at this. Though, if you wish just to play for Bad Apple, I would recommend that you try v4.0 instead, as it would use a pre-existing audio file instead of extracting it from the .mp4 file.

Not too sure why, but there seems to be some error when it comes to generating the audio file in Linux environments. Might be the moviepy.editor library requiring some dependencies that Linux lacks. Though I would see if I could resolve the issue on my end.

Version 4.0 spites the same error btw. 🥴🥴

Pygame.mixer will not load .MP3 files, because of licensing restrictions. You need to convert them to .wav or .ogg.
Try this online tool.

[0n1cOn3]

Everything is working as now.
It has just at the end a small side effect:

When the video ends, Python spits an error

As mentioned here

[rudy3333]

I'm pretty sure that's normal, because of automatically generated array.

I'm pretty sure that's normal, because of automatically generated array.

Can this be avoided?
