LÖVE

Hi,

I am a noob. I try to upload a midi file as a background music

"music = love.audio.newSource("music/almost unreal.mid", "stream")"

This will generate "Could not load file with ModPlug".

Is there anything I am missing to make this work?

My first thought, though unlikely to be the problem: have you tried renaming the file so that it has no spaces in its name?

Done. It's still give the same error.

Is there any specific requirement for the midi to work?

Hm, the issue tracker shows some signs of MIDIs misbehaving, but not like it can't play it at all.

You could try converting it to another format, like Ogg Vorbis (.ogg).

In a similar issue I've also noticed a lot of static on mp3's and have since had to switch to using ogg, which always works perfectly.
