Hey, glad you‘re enjoying it! Your issue sounds weird since it shouldn’t move at all once it’s paused or none of the files are playing (the bar does not depend on any other input than the Playstatus of the loaded tracks)

When it goes farther than it should, did you have the music paused or just set the volume to 0? There was an issue with that where wallpaper engine gave false info about the play status, which should be solved in the beta.

okay so I have it so that wallpaper engine will automatically pause songs when another audio source is playing (ie. spotify)

so, when I have my wallpaper playing one of the tracks through your player and then I start playing a song on spotify/youtube the music pauses.
I know its pausing and not muting because when I stop the spotify/youtube audio, the wallpaper audio picks up again from exactly where it left off.

The issue is that the progress bar will continue to extend endlessly, at least until the wallpaper song actually reaches its end, to which the progress bar will reset for whatever song plays next. For good measure I'll take a look at the beta to see if anything changes or fixes.

updating to the beta defo helped. the progress bar doesn't go further than it should now. although it does continue to move until it reaches the max size and then starts going through every single song at rapid speed. Thats much better than a big bar going across the screen tho!

it moving is still obviously unintended so I'll see if there's anything else I can do to fix the issue

Sorry for spamming you lol, i keep finding things.

Following up on the comment about the beta...
Because the bar still moves and starts to skip tracks it means that it is cutting songs short.
If I play another audio for a couple seconds and turn it off, the wallpaper audio seems to pick up where it left off but in actuality its shaved off the time I was pause, off the end of the song.

even removing "time+=engine.frametime;" from the update function doesnt stop it from skipping and cutting songs short. So wherever it is getting the info about how long a song has been playing, if not that, seems to be the issue

Are you by chance having a faster playback rate set?
That often is an issue with frametime

nope its set as 100

after doing some more digging, it seems the playStatus variable isn't changing to false when it should be. pausing the music manually works fine but playing another audio doesn't change it despite it auto pausing the music through the actual wallpaper engine settings

That’s strange, I believe the variable is being changed in the function that checks whether any of the loaded tracks are playing. Maybe you can locate it.

If you believe this to be a wallpaper engine related issue (due to .isPlaying() being incorrect) you can test it in your own code and report it here https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/431960/discussions/1/3449213285568597331/

However I can‘t really check it out myself in the next weeks..
If you think it’s a problem with the asset itself, link me an example of your wallpaper and I try it out as soon as I get the time to :/

okay well thank you so much for your help! again, this is an amazing asset!!!!
