→Homebrew Browser Channel: looping sound
Well, we are looking good. I have a test channel up and running pretty good. I tried to download something and it code dumped but I think that was a hiccup on HBB not the channel. I will need to do some artwork clean-up and rearrangement so that it looks better (for the test I took the .psd and converted it straight to a .png for testing). I also need to adjust the llop point in the audio as right now it sounds like it is a scratched CD at the end-of-loop point. Once the images are properly I am hoping to shrink the size of the channel as it is currently 28 blocks (6.33MB). The installer is about half way through being programmed. The only thing I have to ask is that you keep a standard on the folder name for HBB. @Ensign R, no worries, the ticket name for this is HBB3.

: HUGE UPDATE!!!!! I fixed the code dump issue (it was on me, all in method of loading HBB). The artwork for the channel is done and the only thing I need some help is with the music loop. I am trying to cut it at 15 seconds in (right after the bells stop) but I can't get a precise enough "chop" to make it sound right. If you can get that to sound good the channel will be visibly functional (but I am going to check the dpi as I think it is set above 72 (SD quality). I found a better method in how to launch HBB where it doesn't require any external files or anything but I am fighting my compiler on that. The installer is mostly ready for alpha tests but if you see in the forums I am fighting compiler issues. Once it is compiled I need to look at some debug information, then we are ready for beta testing i.e. see if we brick peoples' wiis running other systems (just kidding). I will need people to test out if this works on 3.2,3.4, and 4.0 wiis as my system version is 3.3. I am thinking that you (tecknecal) can get this for you to approve by thursday if I get the installer compile problem fixed. I think it is my "environment" that is the issue, so I am off to uninstall and reinstall. [[User:Pinball wizard|Pinball wizard]] 21:22, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

::I don't know whether you still need it, but I made a nicely looping version of the music. Download it [http://files.helsionium.eu/hbb-loop.wav here]. It's a 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, stereo WAV file. The loop start should be at sample 42376, loop end at 719752 (end of file). I don't know details about the format required for channels, but if one the loop points must be aligned at a specific boundary, you can move the loop start left about 400ms (15000 samples) or right indefinitely (of course, this requires duplicating the sample material after the loop start point).
