#30 Web-based soundfiles in session files

[Craig Stuart Sapp]

It would be extremely useful if session files could
include references to web-based soundfiles. This would
enable sharing of session files between people, in particular.

For example, it would be nice to allow this
form of addressing in session files:

<model id="1" name="x.wav" sampleRate="22050" start="0" end="1272437" type="wavefile" file="http://some.computer.com/some_directory/x.wav" mainModel="true"/>

When the session file is loaded, then file x.wav
from the location
http://some.computer.com/some_directory/x.wav
would be downloaded and input into SV as if it
were a local file being read (but taking a lot
longer to load of course).

This is implemented in current SVN.

You don't necessarily have to explicitly encode the URL in the file -- if your WAV file referred to in a session that was downloaded from a URL is not found locally, SV will follow up on the URL to see if it can find it in the same place as the session.
