Windows Media Player Control.. Random Play Of Playlist Files?
Much as I doubt it, I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with the WMP control using playlists. (I'm using .ASX playlists, if it makes a difference.)
I have the program playing great, everything is wonderful... all I need now is random play. You can set the random/shuffle in the .ASX header, but the MP control ignores it.
Is there a way to randomize things up a bit without actually making your own custom playlist system? I rather like using the ASX files, but if given no choice I suppose I'll have to write my own little method.
Thanks.

Windows Media Player Play Problem
Hi,
I'm trying to use a wmp control to play a WAV file from a webserver (located on my LAN) but the wmp.controls.play isn't starting the audio.
My code already works for MP3 files from the same webserver, and it's only by accident I've discovered that it's not working with large WAV files.
What else I noticed is that if I put a break point on the wmp.controls.play statement, and then step to the next line, the wmp control does actually play the WAV.
I've tried putting a pause before the play, used a number of DoEvent statements, used the playerstatechange event to track the newstate variable, but it still won't work.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Cheers,

Windows Media Player Looped Play
Hi,
In my application, I have a background audio track playing in the which I would like to loop once it gets to the end.
I have trapped the playstatechanged event and tested for MediaEnded (playstate = 8). However it's not looping back when I use the .previous and .play commands.
Here is my code:
Code:
If (NewState = 8) Then
wmcAudio(1).Controls.stop
wmcAudio(1).Controls.previous
wmcAudio(1).Controls.play
End If
I have tried putting delays and DoEvents inbetween each line but it still doesn't seem to loop for some reason.
However, if I put a breakpoint in the last line, and type the same commands into the "Immediate Window", the track starts up again.
So I'm wondering why it works when I manually do it, but not in code? Is it happening too fast in code?
Anyone have a solution for this?
Cheers,

Can Windows Media Player Play From A Buffer
Hi ,
I need to create an application in vb where windows media player plays encrypted media files by decrypting them into a temporay file. The problem is that i cannot create the temporary file on some computers bcos(i do not have system privileges to write to the hard disk). Is there a way to create a buffer and make the media player read from the buffer and play it.
Looks like windows media player doesnt want to play anything other than from a file or URL.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Cannot Get Windows Media-Player To Play An .mpeg File
Class project -- created a form with three tabs in it (selected "SSTab" control from the toolbox) ---> each tab is supposed to have something multimedia in it ... I'm working on one of them ... (still need two more ideas)
[COLOR=orange-red]My inquiry for help is this:[/color]
I have the WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER in one tab (not ACTIVE MOVIE) and want to play one '.mpeg' file ...
[COLOR=orange-red]I have the following code:[/color]
Private Sub MediaPlayer1_DVDNotify(ByVal EventCode As Long, ByVal EventParam1 As Long, ByVal EventParam2 As Long)
MediaPlayer1.FileName = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual StudioProject10 - Tabsaliensong.mpeg"
MediaPlayer1.Play
End Sub
[COLOR=orange-red]Results are:[/color]
I run the program, no errors occur, I click on the tab for the WINDOWS MEDIA-PLAYER, it displays correctly, I then place the cursor over the controls, they are not clickable but all the "ToolTipText" properties display for each one ... but I cannot play the '.mpeg' file.
I know I do not have the best grasp on this ... What am I missing? Code in the media player routine or other code elsewhere? Is there a property or two that I need to adjust?
Any guidance or suggestions appreciated.
Thank you,

Can’t Play Wav File With Windows Media Player After Creating It With MciSendString
I am recording *.wav files with microphone using mciSendString.
I am using the following configuration strings
i = mciSendString("open new type waveaudio alias capture", 0&, 0, 0)
i = mciSendString("set capture bitspersample 16", 0&, 0, 0)
i = mciSendString("set capture samplespersec 44100", 0&, 0, 0)
i = mciSendString("set capture channels 2", 0&, 0, 0)
i = mciSendString("set capture alignment 4", 0&, 0, 0) '
i = mciSendString("Set capture bytespersec 44100", 0&, 0, 0)
I tried setting this last paramter to 176400, but it won’t take anything above 44100.
When I try playing these file(s) with Windows Media Player, I get a "Class not registered" error. However, if I right-click on it, select "Properties" and click on the "Preview" tab, I can play the file back without any problems using the "Preview’s" PLAY button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Media Player Play Time Question
I'm using Media player (msdxm.ocx) To play audio that has it's data stored in a db file.
I am using data from this db to set the MediaPlayer1.SelectionStart and MediaPlayer1.SelectionEnd. Now what I am trying to do is have the Play time displayed. If i use this in a timer
Code:
Label1.Caption = Format$(TimeSerial(0, 0, MediaPlayer1.CurrentPosition), " h:mm:ss")
It works great if I am not using MediaPlayer1.SelectionStart. When using MediaPlayer1.SelectionStart the count jumps to whatever MediaPlayer1.SelectionStart is. So even though the real play time is say 10 seconds, 12 seconds is displayed.
I thought I would be able to do this (ok this works now I had a type-o)
Code:
test = MediaPlayer1.CurrentPosition - MediaPlayer1.SelectionStart
Label1.Caption = Format$(TimeSerial(0, 0, test), " h:mm:ss")
But it does not return milliseconds is there a way to return milliseconds smoothly.
Any thoughts?

Media Player Finished Video Play?
Is there some way to tell when Media Player has finsihed playing the current video? It most likely has something to do with 'state changes' but I'm not sure how to use it.
And just as a side thought is there some way to get rid of that logo that Media Player starts up with?

Is This A Windows Media Player Control Bug?
i made an mp3 player a while back using the windows media player control. i have just recently upgraded to windows media player series 9 and now when i try to compile the program, it gives me an error with all of the media player variable things, like the filename and stop, play and stuff like that. the one i compiled before i upgraded still works fine. i didn't switch to the need windows media player thing because the older control was still availible, but doesn't work the same.
is this a bug or what?
Windows Media Player Control
I am programming an application that I would like to play an mp3 file with from a list of random MP3's. I would like to use the windows media player control and integrate it into my app, but I have never used this before. I don't have MSDN on my home computer here, so does anyone know how to use this or can you point me in the direction where I can get the calls and or information on this control? Thanks in Advance!
Windows Media Player Control
Hi! I have a question
I have created a program that calculates lenght of all my mp3s that are in folder... I've put them in my listbox...
my code goes like this:
Code:
Dim oMedia As IWMPMedia
Dim dDummy As Double
Dim dDuration As Double
dCalc = 0
For i = 0 To List2.ListCount - 1
Set oMedia = mm.newMedia(List2.List(i))
dDummy = oMedia.duration
dCalc = dCalc + dDummy
Next i
Now, I have a problem... I used Windows Media Player 9 in this, and when I try to run my program on a computer that doesn't have installed Windows Media Player it brings out an error.
I included wmp.dll from my system32 folder with my Package & Deployment installation. And it still doesn't work... I think that I need some kind of OCX and not DLL for this to work...
Now I have a new idea, I've noticed that everyone still have installed the old Windows Media Player 6 on their computer, and it doesn't matter if you installed an newer version. I found it's OCX in Components
it's msdxm.ocx
What's wrong is that my previous code that worked on Windows media Player 9 doesn't work with the old Windows Media Player 6.4...
It gives me error here
Code:
Set oMedia = mm.newMedia(List2.List(i))
newMedia Property or method doesn't exist in the old media player and I don't know how to change my code so it should work, I've tryed all kind of propertyes but it still doesn't work...
If you have an better idea then changing from WMP 9 to WMP 6 by geting WMP 9 to work on every computer, that would be ok, but I think that the best thing to do is to switch to WMP 6
Please help!
Tnx

Windows Media Player Control
I am using the windows media player (9) control to play wmv video files. However when the video is done playing i want to link to the next form (the video has its own form). I tried...
Private Sub WindowsMediaPlayer1_OpenStateChange(ByVal NewState As Long)
frm1.Hide
frm2.Show
End Sub
But that cuts the video off straight away and goes to the next form. I want it to go to the next form only once the video has finished playing. Thanks in advance.
Windows Media Player Control
I'm using Windows Media Player control and I have this problem:
When I'm playing a play list and I want to change to another one I execute this sentence: "WMP1.currentPlayList.clear", but if the songs list is playing at the moment is loaded from a CD this sentence makes an error, and I can't change "currentPlayList" object any way, although I use "insertItem", "appendItem", etc. So I can't play anymore when I load a list from a CD.
I thought I could create a new "IWMPPlaylist" object and load the new songs into it, to finally assign this object to "currentPlayList", but to do this I have to initializate the object with an empty list and I don't know how to do that.
Anybody can help me with this, please? It's very important for me. Thank you very much.
Windows Media Player Control - Help Please
I'm trying to make Windows Media Player control work on my active x user control. I'm using Windows Media Player 9 control (wmp.dll). Everything works fine. It loads the URL I want it to load and everything, but when I exit the active x page (go on someother website), I can still hear the clip that was being played on the control (on my active x page);meaning it never stopped. Maybe something is wrong with this code, please check:
Private Sub UserControl_Terminate()
WindowsMediaPlayer1.Close
End Sub
I tried using this code through a command button and it worked perfect. Maybe there is something else I'm supposed to use for UserControl. I just want the clip to stop when a user exits the page or closes the window.
Windows Media Player Control
Hello!
I'm doing a project by Visual Basic 6.0 and I have some problems with Windows Media Player Control.
I want to read the audio format sings (.cda format) from a CD. I get the sings name, but I can't play them because the Media Player says me something like that:
"The file you want to play doesn't fit with the format of the file."
But this version of Media Player plays mp3 format. Do I have to get any library to play .cda formats? Is it any wrong with my Media Player version?
My other problem is that when I insert the CD into de CD player the Media Player always runs, and I don't want it, because I use a control in Visual Basic to do that. I know that pressing shift key in the keyboard the Media Player doen't run, but I can't program it.
Could anybody help me with those problems, please? Thanks.
Windows Media Player Control
Hi... I'm adding a feature to a program I've made for control of Windows Media Player. I've already added Winamp, Lime Light (a media player I made), and iTunes (though it's got some problems).
I've gotten most of the wParams using SPY++, Such as Play/Pause, Stop, Forward, Previous, Random,Repeat, and Exit. I'd like to ask for help with getting the current track and artist, Opening a file by giving part (or all) of the title, and Volume Contol.
Currently, I can figure out the last one only by the Up/Down menu buttons, which go in increments of 10. I would like to be able to set a number between 1 and 100 and it would set the volume to that.
Any help on how I can figure this out, or just plain example would be wondeful. Thank you
Windows Media Player 11 Control
i'm having problems using the windows media player 11 activex control. i'm trying to incorperate loop, and shuffle commands with an embedded media player window within my program, but the latest documentation i have is for wmp9, as the wmp11sdk isn't available as a single download without downloading the vista sdk(i don't have vista) so erm really, what i want to know is why this doesn't work:
player.settings.setMode("shuffle", -1)
it tells me there is an expected =
so i counter with
dim x&
x& = player.settings.setMode("shuffle", -1)
it will then highlight .setMode("shuffle, -1) and tell me 'not a valid function' or 'function required'.
if anyone could check later documentation and see if setting the mode for shuffle has changed for wmp11 control, it would be greatly appriciated
Windows Media Player Control
How do you make it play continuously?
I tried playing a sound that lasts for 2 seconds but I wanted it to play continuously(plays again automatically once it's finished) until I want it to stop. I tried using this property:
.AutoRewind -> Read/Write Sets or retrieves a value specifying whether the Windows Media Player control automatically returns to the clip's starting point after the clip finishes playing or has otherwise stopped.
but it seems that it's not recognized as a property for WMP.
And also I tried right-clicking on WMP control while the form is running, and there was an option where it makes it play faster. How do I do that in the code?
Thanks

Windows Media Player Control
I need some help or possible code example. I am trying to create a jukebox type program in VB6. I have it set up to where my first form has several command buttons where each will open another form for a specific CD/Album stored on my hard drive and on this second form I will have a list of the songs (mp3 files). I would like to use the Windows Media Player control for each song, however this is my first time using this control and I have no experience. I'm not sure even how to code this and have tried a couple different things but so far it just shows the Media Player control but the play/stop etc. buttons are grayed out and I am lost at this point. I have heard that this is supposedly fairly simple to use but I am stuck. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
