    MediaPlayer Class, very low performance?

    Reply Quote
    Hello,

    Im trying to add sound in my game, but when I load a music as Song, if I play it, the fps of my game slowdowns to 2 fps... In pseudcode:

    if music is not playing
    music play


    If I load it as SoundEffect, everything goes well, but  I dont have a method to stop the sound...

    It is normal? Thanks in advance..

    Some of the media state properties are quite slow to query, so if you are checking the current play status every frame, that could slow you down pretty dramatically. It would be more efficient to just keep track of whether you have already started a song playing, rather than constantly polling the player status.
