I've been trying to create a Windows Media Player plugin in Visual Studio 2008, and am having great difficulty finding the correct template. MSDN provides advice here, but it does not appear to be relevant to VS2008. Can anyone suggest how to start a WMP plugin in Visual Studio? EDIT: Ive accepted this answer because it worked for me, ...
I'm using System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer to play some sounds, and I would like to load these sounds from a ZIP file. It would be nice to be able to load these files as a stream directly from the zip file instead of having to unzip to a temp directory. However, MediaPlayer.open only accepts an URI. So, is there a way to create a URI t...
I want to use JavaScript to control an embedded Windows Media Player, as well as access any properties that the player exposes. I've found a few hacky examples online, but nothing concrete. I really need access to play, pause, stop, seek, fullscreen, etc. I'd also like to have access to any events the player happens to broadcast. Hel...
I am developing an application in C# that has a form with Windows Media Player embedded inside. There are several links to some online content in my app. and I want user to change the content from one to another with a button click. Since WMP spent some time while buffering for the next content, I want to continue playing the current con...
Is there a way to pass a start time via URL when opening a video online? For example: http://www.example.com/newvideo.wmv?starttime=00:33:34.0 I've seen different methods for using Javascript or making ASX files in order to give some control over it but I just need to jump to a certain time in the file when it starts playing. The vid...
I'd like to query Windows Media player from an external app to find out what track (album and artist) it's currently playing. Is that information exposed anywhere? ...
I trying to use a ".h" file from Windows SDK in a .NET language (maybe C#), but without success. This header exposes some Windows Media player functionality through COM. If I use Win32 C++, I can use it with no problems, so I thought that I could use Managed C++ as a "Bridge" to expose it to C#. The header file is the subscriptionservic...
I have a AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer on a form. When I close the form, I get "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." exception. It is OK with hiding the form but not with closing. Everything's fine when the component is removed from the form. This is Winforms .Net3.5. A...
I need to synchronize Windows Media Player with my application. I want to show the current song that WMP is playing in a ListBox in real time, with updates when WMP changes songs. How can I implement this? ...
I'm adding functionality to an existing Java application that's already been deployed extensively. (So there are some design decisions that I can't touch unless I have a seriously compelling reason.) The app controls a PC broadcasting audio and visual to a small local TV network. Right now, it mostly broadcasts static slides, but it c...
I'm the guy who was here a while back asking about controlling Windows Media Player via Java. I've made progress, but I've hit a vexing problem, so I'm back looking for help. I followed the advice I got last time 'round and installed Jacob. I execute these lines out of a test script: ActiveXComponent wmp = new ActiveXComponent("WMPla...
I'm playing Windows Media audio, triggered by an ASX meta-file which looks like this: <asx version="3.0" BannerBar="none"> <title>Foo</title> <author>Bar</author> <copyright>Baz</copyright> <moreinfo href="http://company.com/"/> <entry> <title>Audio Stream</title> <ref href="mms://media1.company.com/bof.asf"/> </e...
I'm just trying to get a quick way to play and pause Windows Media Player remotely. After reading several questions here on SO, I realized that most people were talking about C#, Java, COM, ActiveX... which seem a bit overkill for my project. Is there any simple interface to mess with WMP? My preferred approach would be some Python modul...

Hi, I have a WMP player object and I'm trying to add an event listener to intercept ScriptCommands that are sent to the player. Instead of being attached to the WMP object, my callback is being called right away, and then the ScriptCommands aren't being intercepted. function init() { var WMPlayer = document.getElementById("WMPlay...
I have around 10 Bosch IP cameras. I need to allow users to see live (around 10 fps) view from the selected cameras. The users will be in a local network. Connecting directly to the camera is not an option, because around 100 users may watch image from one camera. I came up with this solution: Use TVideoGrabber to connect to the came...
I'm playing video in a MediaElement in WPF. It's working 1000's of times, over and over again. Once in a blue moon (like once a week), I get a windows exception (you know the dialog Dr. Watson Crash??) that happens. The MediaElment doesn't expose an error, it just crashes and sits there with an ugly Crash report on the screen. If you ...
Is there a way to stop a video at a particular position using Windows Media Player SDK? I am using C# for embedding the player and trying to see if the IWMPControls3 Interface has any stopping capability at a particular point in terms of position or time. If it can be done, then how to do it? ...
Hi, Using C# how can I get the name of the song, artists etc that is currently playing in Windows Media Player? Applications like MSN Messenger / Google Talk do this. Thanks ...
