MIDI files in Flux Player

#1 06-07-2008, 04:30 AM

I get no music when Flux Player, either stand-alone or as a browser
client, displays my worlds. This is the case for my desktop (running XP)
and my laptop running Vista. Cortona copes OK. Is this a current
limitation for Flux Player or is there something wrong with my
configurations?

I find that if I replace the midi file (3kB) with the equivalent
..wav (10 Mb) or .mp3 (1 Mb) file, Flux Player works OK. So it seems that
Flux Player has _not_ been programmed to accept .mid files. I hope that
the developers will soon deal with this omission.

Further experimentation showed that Flux Player copes with .wav and .mp3
files but not .mid. Feedback from Vivaty tells me that .mid files are not
yet supported but will be eventually. I am glad of that since the size of
my animation is increased from 80kb with midi music to just over 1MB with
..mp3.
