Hi, can the FV Player Pro be used to stream also audio only with the Ab Loop function? The Ab Loop function seems to be perfect for my purposes. It is for an online educational music site and user can use the seamless loop function for practicing specific parts.
What does the interface look like, if “only” audio is streamed?
I think of utilizing Amazon S3 for storing and streaming.Thanks for your time and answer.

Hi Chris,
Using audio files (preferrably in MP3 format) with the AB loop is available, you can try it in this demo – MP3 in FV Player. Just use the AB Loop button in the left side, which will activate the loop adjustment sliders.
Thanks,

Hi Eduard,
thanks for your answer.
Is the AB loop function time accurate?
I mean does it loop perfectly repeat the selected part without any delay?Can the function be tested with own audio material for a limited time prior to purchase?
Regards,
Chris
Hello Chris,
the accuracy of the loop markers is a the biggest limiting factor on that. It’s more accurate to use the hotkeys (i and o). So if you listen to the beat and you hit these keys carefully you get an loop which if good enough for musicians to play on top of it.
However since the HTML5 video engine is a bit limited there is a noticeable glitch which is around 100 – 200 ms. So it’s not perfectly in the rhythm.
I did some experiments and we can bring it down to about 50 ms if we improve the code a bit. It seemed almost perfect to me as a guitarist. It depends on the length of the look as well – if you are looping 8 or 16 bars, it’s good enough, but looping of 1 or 2 bars it’s just too distracting.
The second video on https://foliovision.com/player/demos/user-ab-loop has a strong beat, so you can do some testing there, but it would be better if you let us improve the timing first.
Thanks,
Martin
