how to tell if audio is playing or paused

[randy0428]

Is there such a thing as love.audio.isPlaying (or something that would tell if the audio is playing) or love.audio.isPaused (or something that would tell if the audio is paused)?

I want to have a single play/pause button that toggles between playing and paused.

The code would be something like:

Code: Select all

function toggleAudio(audioClip)
   if love.audio.isPlaying then love.audio.pause( audioClip )
   elseif love.audio.isPaused then love.audio.play( audioClip )
   end
end

There is! https://love2d.org/wiki/Source https://love2d.org/wiki/Source:isPlaying

Nevermind. I found the source:isPlaying() function.
Sorry I didn't look more thoroughly before I posted.

I'm having a problem with this. I have a button that I want to toggle the music on or off.
Below is the code I'm using.
The emMusicOn(x,y) determines if the mouse is on the button.
The button works to pause the music, but clicking it again DOESN'T unpause (resume) it.
I added the 4 print statements to see if the button is changing the play state. Apparently the play state is changing,
Each time I click the button, the prinout indicates both the playing and paused values switch.
But there's no audio coming through.
I have no idea what the problem is.

Note1: I tried using love.audio.play( audioFundo ) instead of love.audio.resume( audioFundo ) but it still didn't work.
Note2: There are two other buttons to control volume, but I'm not touching them and I don't see how they could be the problem.

Code: Select all

  mousereleased = function(x, y, button)
   --CLIQUES DO MOUSE
    if emMusicOn( x, y ) then
      print("playing =")
      print(audioFundo:isPlaying())
      print("paused =")
      print(audioFundo:isPaused())
      if audioFundo:isPlaying() then love.audio.pause( audioFundo )
        elseif audioFundo:isPaused() then love.audio.resume( audioFundo )
      end
    return
    end

Would you provide us a .love file?
I could try to help you that way

[randy0428]

The file is attached.
The code in my post starts on line 66 of the jogar.lua file.

The button works to pause the music, but clicking it again DOESN'T unpause (resume) it.

It works on my machine, it pauses and resumes correctly o.O

[randy0428]

That's very strange. I tried again (using the .love file I sent you) and it didn't work.
What OS did you try it on?
I'm using a machine with Antergos Linux (an Arch variant) and love version 0.10.2-1 is installed. Any ideas why it works for you but not me?

Actually, I just tried it on a Windows 10 machine and it worked. Any ideas why it won't work on Linux?
