How to create a 5 band equalizer? #910

Closed linux-man closed 4 years ago

linux-man commented 4 years ago

I can create a n band equalizer using the constructor Equalizer(int bandCount), but I can't assign it to a mediaPlayer. Only 10 bands are supported?

You're not supposed to create instances of the Equalizer yourself, you're supposed to go via the MediaPlayerFactory.

Ideally that constructor you're using would have been private, but that's not possible because I wanted to keep the Equalizer class and the MediaPlayerFactory class in their own separate packages.

What happens in the factory is that internally it uses the native LibVLC library to query the available equalizer bands, and currently this is 10 fixed bands at specific frequencies.

Thank you for the clarification and a Happy New Year!
