Objcblock can get self argument

wolf71

The objc code :

            [playerNode scheduleBuffer:buffer atTime:[AVAudioTime timeWithSampleTime:sampleTime atRate:sampleRate] options:AVAudioPlayerNodeBufferInterrupts completionHandler:^{
                [playerNode stop];
                [playerNode reset];
                [self.audioEngine disconnectNodeOutput:playerNode];
            }];

pythonista code:

     def playa():

	player.stop()     #  !!!! ERROR: can't found player 
        player.reset()   #

     c_playa = ObjCBlock(playa) 

   player.scheduleBuffer_atTime_options_completionHandler_(PCMBuff,None,0,c_playa)

@wolf71 There is nothing special about playerNode here, it's just a normal variable. self is special in Objective-C because it's a hidden parameter of every method, but it works just like any other parameter. Blocks are a bit special in Objective-C because they can access variables in the function around them. Python functions already do this by default, so your playa function can access the playerNode variable from outside already. I don't see a self in your Python code, but if there is one, you can of course use that in the block too.

@dgelessus sorry, the error info:

The code you copied this from was in the context of another Object, like perhaps the application's main delegate object, etc. in your case, just thing of it as a place to store your audioengine,.. global is probably fine, depending on what you are doing.

(in real objc, while blocks do have a hidden self parameter, I don't think you can normally access it without introspection... )

your problem seems to be you have not created your AVAudioEngine or AVAudioPlayerNode.
Your code is using those as globals, which is fine here, but those globals better exist!
