IBaseEncoder Interface

Namespace:  Un4seen.Bass.Misc
Assembly:  Bass.Net (in Bass.Net.dll) Version: 2.4.17.7

The IBaseEncoder type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	ChannelBitwidth	This property should return the actual bitwidth of the sample data BASS is using with the channel (e.g. 8, 16, 32).
	ChannelHandle	This property should get or sets the channel handle which will be used to create the broadcast encoder class.
	ChannelNumChans	This property should return the actual number of channles of the sample data BASS is using with the channel (e.g. 1=mono, 2=stereo, etc.).
	ChannelSampleRate	This property should return the actual sample rate in Hz of the sample data BASS is using with the channel (e.g. 44100).
	DefaultOutputExtension	This property should return the default extension of an output file for this encoder (e.g. ".mp3" or ".ogg" etc.).
	EffectiveBitrate	Specifies the target effective bitrate of the encoder output (in kbps, e.g. 128 kbps).
	EncoderCommandLine	This property should return an encoder command-line string, which might be used with the BASS_Encode_Start(Int32, String, BASSEncode, ENCODEPROC, IntPtr) method in order to create and start the encoder.
	EncoderDirectory	This property should get and set the encoder's base directory. It might be used in the EncoderCommandLine implementation to return a fully qualified encoder command-line.
	EncoderExists	This property should return , if the encoder exists and is available - else should be returned.
	EncoderHandle	This property should get and set a HENCODE encoder handle as returned by the BASS_Encode_Start(Int32, String, BASSEncode, ENCODEPROC, IntPtr) method if the the encoder has been started (see Start(ENCODEPROC, IntPtr, Boolean)) or 0 (zero), if the encoder has not been started or was stopped (see Stop).
	EncoderType	This property should return a value indicating which type of content the broadcast encoder implements.
	Force16Bit	Gets or Sets if a encoding in 16-bit sample data should be forced (default is ).
	InputFile	Specifies the input file name to be processed by the encoder (null = STDIN).
	IsActive	This property should return , if the encoder has been started (see Start(ENCODEPROC, IntPtr, Boolean)) and is active - else must be returned.
	IsPaused	This property should return , only if the encoder has been paused (see Pause(Boolean)) - else must be returned.
	NoLimit	Gets or Sets if encoding should use the CAST_NOLIMIT flag (which is only needed, if the encoder is used for streaming).
	OutputFile	Specifies the output file name to be processed by the encoder (null = STDOUT).
	SupportsSTDOUT	This property should return , if the base encoder implementation (resp. the underlying command-line tool being used) support STDOUT for output of the encoded data - else must be returned.
	TAGs	Gets or Sets the TAG_INFO structure associated with the encoder.
	UseAsyncQueue	Gets or Sets if encoding should use an async queue (i.e. the BASS_ENCODE_QUEUE flag).

	Name	Description
	Pause	This method must implement the actual pauseing of the encoder. After the encoder was paused successfully the EncoderHandle must still return a valid HENCODE handle (non-zero).
	Start	This method must implement the actual start of the encoder. After the encoder was started successfully the EncoderHandle must return a valid HENCODE handle.
	Stop	This method must implement the actual stop of the encoder. After the encoder was stopped successfully the EncoderHandle must return 0 (zero).

TopThis interface is for example used in the constructor of a streaming server parameter class (e.g. SHOUTcast or ICEcast) to specify which encoder settings should be used.
