Audio Duration Bar [solved]

I was wondering if it would be possible/not terribly difficult to add an audio duration bar for spoken lines in one of my games, so players will know when the voice actor is done talking. Some performers add pauses to the dialogue, which is good, but it may come off as confusing. I'm not entirely sure how to program this, to be honest, so I thought I'd come to the forum for help.
Something like the attached image perhaps?

I think you can get the info about playing audio with
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/voice.ht ... voice_info
I'm sure there are more of these _get commands for audio channels, search the documentation

You can probably use a bar with AudioPositionValue(channel='voice') to do this.

I tried to use AudioPositionValue() but the bar gets filled in a few seconds even though the audio has more than one minute duration.
Code: Select all
bar:
value AudioPositionValue(channel='music')
xsize 500
xmaximum 500
I also tried to use renpy.music.get_pos() and renpy.music.get_duration() but then the bar is instant filled at once.
Code: Select all
bar:
value renpy.music.get_pos(channel='music')
range renpy.music.get_duration(channel='music')
xsize 500
xmaximum 500
Help please!

AudioPositionValue() works no problem for me. There's nothign wrong on your code. So problem is different: bar style or music declaration.
BTW, renpy.music.get_pos(channel='music') won't work in this case, because it's only updated at interaction, not real time.

nyaatrap, would you mind checking this test project?
I'm using the new GUI, no changes on styles.
Code: Select all
screen audio_duration():
bar:
value AudioPositionValue(channel='music')
xalign 0.5
yalign 0.5
xsize 500
xmaximum 500
label start:
image bg black = "#000000"
$ bgm_test = "test.mp3"
scene bg black
play music bgm_test
#play music "test.mp3"
call screen audio_duration
return

Big big newbie here! Sorry to come back to this so late. This works great! Any idea how to make this user adjustable? So I can see its duration but also adjust it as its playing? Thanks in advance!
