I want to call the AkMP3InfoRead function inside of a module. What is the proper way to include this AkMP3Source.lib ? (I am using the wwiseUE4integration project)

Thanks

You can't, that's not how it is supposed to work.  To read a mp3 you have to do this:

  • Create a sound in your Wwise project
  • Create a source plugin by clicking on the "Add Source" button (in the Content Window, lower right)
  • Select MP3 plugin, fill in the file name.
  • Create an event and a soundbank that include it.
  • From UE load that bank and post the event

The MP3 plugin is sample code to show how to make a plugin.  You can modify it as you need.  It currently works only on Windows.
