Question

Does anyone know how to stream Ogg files without fully downloading them first over a Socket(in byte[] format).

I am trying to create a music streaming application and I managed to do it with MP3 s but I understand there s licensing issues invovled after certain limit hence why I want to use OGG(Vorbis). I maanged to find this C# Vorbis Wrapper but no documentation, and I cannot figure out how to get a byte[] stream to play.

I have tried the following

        var rawData = File.ReadAllBytes(@"SoundFile.ogg");
        var enc = new OggVorbisEncodedStream(rawData);
        var sp = new SoundPlayer(enc);
        sp.Play();

But an exception gets thrown showing that the Wav file header is incorrect. I understand SoundPlayer is used for only playing .wav files? Does anybody know how to stream a OGG file?

Answer 1

The wrapper is a very thin one, it directly calls the native ogg codec functions. Look for the docs of ov_read to see what you get back from OggVorbisEncodedStream.Read(). Raw PCM would be my guess. The wrapper doesn t attempt any kind of format conversion.

Yes, SoundPlayer won t work here, it requires wav and can t stream. You ll need a player that can take chunks of PCM as an input. Not sure what does that, the NAudio project is usually good for stuff like this.

Answer 2

string filePath = "License.lic";

using (var stream = new StreamReader(filePath))
