Hi All,

I have a real simple problem here, which I am trying to resolve with little success.

All I want to do is use the Windows Media Player Control in VB to play a .WAV file of my choosing, I'm guessing the play/stop/pause controls are built in, but how do you tell the Windows Media Player control which file you want to play.

Come on guys, I bet someone knows.

Regards

Shady

mmmmm Don't have that one.

What OS are using Shady and did the dll come with it?

Err?  

I dunno?

That is I am using Windows XP PRO (I know that bit)

but I don't know if the .dll came with it, i guess it must have, cos I haven't knowingly installed it myself, I have updated VB6 with the service pack 5, don't know if that would have had any effect.

    windowsmediaplayer1.url = ****


    I am working on something similar myself....

          Good luck!!

Under W98SE the MediaPlayer uses the file  MSDXM.OCX
I have found that this compiles Ok and runs without problems on XPPro machines. have you got access to that file?


  

Nod.

Yes mate,

I had to use that one instead of the newer version.

But dkg354boy2 has now given me the line of code to use it, so now I can use either... what a show off!!

Cheers

I´m using Media Player 9 control (wmp.dll).
I recommend the upgrade that works just fine with the apropriate DIVX codec...

It´s simple to put it to work
add the control, put it on a form

...
WindowsMediaPlayer1.url = "e:\animatrix.avi"
WindowsMediaPlayer1.FullScreen = True
...
and you´re done.

MY QUESTION:
How to put a playlist to work?
I want to put itens (many avi files to play in sequence), remove them etc

Does anybody knows how to do this?

Here's code I've used to create a playlist from a listbox of user selected songs:

Set sPlaylist = WindowsMediaPlayer1.playlistCollection.newPlaylist("Audio")     WindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist = sPlaylist 'selects playlist     For i = 0 To Form1.List1.ListCount - 1         Set sMedia = WindowsMediaPlayer1.mediaCollection.Add("C:\Program Files\3Com\My Documents\My Music\Dad\VariousArtists\" & Form1.List1.List(i)) 'Sets Media to Add to Playlist         WindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist.insertItem (WindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist.Count), sMedia ' Adds Playlist Item     Next i

It has worked perfectly with avi files too.

thanks a lot!

Ok ... one more thing,

I´m trying to remove some medias from the playlist, for that, I need to call the function requestMediaAcessRights like so:

WindowsMediaPlayer1.settings.requestMediaAccessRights ("full")

When I do this, a dialog box appears that asks me if I want to allow full access from an application in my computer to my media library. But, this cannot happen ... The application must run without interaction from the user.

How can I solve this? How can I make my computer allow full access to the media library without having to answer, everytime an application requests access to the library?

Hi,

I see things very interessant in this topic and i have one problem: i made a program to read the paralell port with sensors. After a sensor activate it plays one video. But the WMP does appear automaticly; only after i press control+break. Anyone can help me?

Thanks!
