Yes, and with my app as well (and also in idle mode).

Ok thank you very much. I now have to investigate my own code...
OK, I've found the problem : In my application there is 3 screens. To listen the audio streams, I switch to another screen. On the player screen, there is a button "OK" and when we press this button, the screen is closed. If we don't press the "Stop" button when we comes back to the main screen, the audio stream is still playing but when we return to the player screen, pressing "Stop" button has no effect. I think I should switch to the main stream without closing the player screen... Perhaps you have a solution to Stop the player that was started on a closed screen ?
If the screens are switched correctly, there shouldn't be any problems. We need to know all relevant blocks on all screens. So post these and the aia.
The screen are not switched but closed... The problem is here. After I will solve this problem, I would like any help for a solution to record what is listen.
Well, I will update my code in order to switch to another screen instead of closing it. For now I have another problem : I made my own vertical slider with Canvas to change the volume from 0 to 100%. I've tried to use the SetVolume block to set the volume according to my slider but id did not work. I didn't find how to set the volume with this extension : from 0 to 10, 0 to 1, 0 to 100...? can someone help me ?
Thanks Timai2, but my slider is already done with the same technique. Now I really need to know the scale for setting the audio volume.
Values should be between 0.0 and 1.0.
I'm thinking of making it accept between 0 and 100 to make it easier, I'll check that tonight.
Easy enough divide or multiply by 100, depending on the direction you are going.
If canvas slider is returning values 0 -100, then divide by 100 to apply to the extension's volume setting, to get 0 - 1.

Thank you very much ! You should update the description :
What is the volume level at start before it is set by the user ? 100 % ?

- It is 0.5
I have updated the volume information:
Perfect ! Many thanks for that. ChatGPT suggested me to use another extension but I noticed a huge delay before audio stream begin to play and changing button state can't be done instantaneously. Then I found your extension which is my favorite. So many thanks for this work. I wish you more notoriety.
Do you know a way to record the stream that the player is playing in a file that can be open for replay ?

Which extension?

Thanks a lot David.
I've been thinking about a couple of features, including recording the stream, but I don't know when that will be ready or if I like the way it records audio.
- There is one in App Inventor components that records audio, I haven't tried any others yet.
Well, I'm facing some problems again. First, with the last version, I can't use the companion anymore because of incompatibility and it takes me a long time to compile and install my app every time I want to check something.
And another big problem is that I have 3 different screens : Main, Setup and Player. The problem is that when I close the main screen to switch to the player screen, if I start a play, when I come back to the main screen, then return to the player screen, it is impossible to stop the player... So I tried not to close the player screen and open the main screen from the player when something is playing but when I want to close the App, I return to the player screen...and finaly I can't close the app only with app killer from launcher.
I think that when a play is started, the app should save the process number to be able to close it every time we need to. Actually, I can only stop the player if I stay on the player screen. All is OK if I stop before returning to the main screen but if the player is playing something, after closing the player screen, it is impossible to stop the player because the extension does not store anything when the player is started and all is forgotten when the screen where the player is launched is closed.
Anyway, I need a solution to stop the player...

Ok, I understand the problem now, I will check that tomorrow night and fix it.
Thank you very much Joe. I really appreciate.
How about just stopping the Player when switching to another screen?
