Description

Is there a possibility to play .flac files with the AudioPlayer yet? Or exists any third party module, which will do this? Any help would be appreciated.

The built-in audio-players in iOS do not support this. A simple solution would be to use [OrigamiEngine](https://github.com/ap4y/OrigamiEngine) in Hyperloop like this: Podfile:

   platform :ios, '9.0'
   
   target 'YOUR_APP_NAME' do
   
     pod 'OrigamiEngine', '~> 1.0.14'
   end

Your app:

   var ORGMEngine = require('ORGMEngine/ORGMEngine');
   var player = new ORGMEngine();
   let url = NSURL.URLWithString('file.flac'); // I think it's only the name of the file in the final product / bundle. Maybe try around a bit here
   player.playUrl(url);

And the AudioPlayer will never support it?

Hello, [~benutzername], This is not supported by the built-in iOS audio player. Besides, Hyperloop does provide a workaround for this. Thanks.

Got it working. Thanks. But one question still exists. How do I add an eventListener to the _didChangeState_ in https://github.com/ap4y/OrigamiEngine/blob/master/Example/iOS/ORGMEngine%20Example/ORGMPlayerViewController.m#L159
