HI, I am using activeXMediaPlayer to play files from url but each time I pass a url to it shows the message , "either the file is corrupted or player does not support the file format u are playing." But when i run the same url on browser the file is downloaded and this downloaded file can be played on the media player. I am not able t...
I have to record audio on an iPhone that will play back on Windows Media Player, using no non-standard codecs; that is, using no codecs that don't already ship with WMP. (Corporate requirement.) The audio has to go base-64 to a server, so I need to get the audio size as small as possible. Even at 8Kb recording frequency, AIFF files take ...
Hello everyone, I am developing some application (similar to media player but performing more domain specific things) based on wmv file. I am wondering any existing free tools to analyze wmv format -- I am interested about general information about a specific wmv file (like frame rate, size, and do not need too defailed information). I ...
I want to provide a choice between streaming 'channels', if you will, in a web application. These are Windows Media streams of live events that are being broadcast from a Windows Media Services 9 distribution network. I want to provide a relatively recent thumbnail image of the stream (as a user, you would expect to see this), but altho...
I'm working in a corporate environment where the primary mechanism of media playback is Windows Media Player. On our intranet we're serving MP3 files in an embedded WMP through Internet Explorer 6. I have no problems with embedding, playback, etc. The only issue is that I want to disable the visualization that is automatically turned on...
Hi all. I'm writing a Windows Media Player DMO that decodes a custom stream from an ASF file. The final product would be bitmaps to be fed into WMP's Video Renderer for display. The problem is that each sample I receive from the ASF file is a buffer containing several bitmaps, and so I can't feed the renderer one bitmap per one input...
Is it possible to create a windows media player plugin (v12) that would duplicate the output stream to a second audio device? If there's a tool out there, that would be grand, but I'm mostly just wondering if it's possible. ...
I do not want a Windows Media Player control on my form. I am making an alarm clock. I have tried this: Friend WithEvents WindowsMediaPlayer As New Microsoft.Win32. But I do not see a Windows Media Player member. Thank you. I also asked on the MSDN VB Forum. ...
I have searched and searched how to do this but everything leads back to Appbars (dockable forms) which is not what i need. I want a toolbar that goes into the taskbar, like WMP, itunes, language toolbar. Preferably in vbnet, but if its in C# then thats fine. ...
I was trying to "just quickly integrate" the Windows Media Player via COM to play single files from the local file system or http sources - but due to the sparse documentation and online resources to its usage when not embedding into some kind of an Ole container, i couldn't get that supposedly trivial use-case to work. Initialization e...
I was just wondering if there is a way to disable controls such as ctr Left/Right arrows or Alt+left/right arrows in AxWindowsMediaPlayer. I am using it in WindowsFormsHost in my WPF project. I would like to capture these controls and handle them myself. When I use this block, I don't have any way to prevent it by using e.handeld =true o...
Hi, I wrote a DMO which receives proprietary audio and video streams from an ASF file, decodes them and should play them in WMP. The problem is when WMP calls CheckOutputTypes in my DMO, it only checks for RGB24. My DMO only outputs RGB32 (for reasons I'll specify in a moment) , and causes WMP to return a "can only be created as an a...
I've got some heavily modified code that ultimately came from the Windows Media SDK that works great for reading tags out of MP3 and WMV files. Somewhere along the line, Windows Media Player added support for .m4a files (was it in Windows 7?) but the Windows Media API doesn't seem to reflect that addition (or at least IWMMetadataEditor2:...
I'm sure WPF could produce a GUI replica, but is it actually made with WPF? I've done some searching, but I'm not able to find what GUI library they used. ...
I tried fmod.net but got a 'System.BadImageFormatException' error. I then tried WindowsMediaPlayer and have sounds playing. However i am having issues playing a sound when the current one ends (callback code below. It doesnt seem to like me playing a new song during a state change however i cant find another way to inform me when the son...
The problems with Windows Media Player on a .NET CF based application are endless. In one of the .NET CF 3.5 applications, we are using ActiveX controls to play videos. The code for the media player ActiveX control is from this MSDN article. It had few memory leak problems, but the bugs are sorted out with the help of this article. The...
I realize there is a similar question to this, but it really has no information in it. I want to retrieve the currently playing song title (similar to MSN Messenger) within a C# app. The Windows Media Player I want to control is EXTERNAL- that is, it is running on the computer, not within the app. Anyway to do this? ...
I'm at a total loss of what to do. I am using an AxWindowsMediaPlayer object that is created programatically and added to the form's controls: Private Sub PlayNext(ByVal path As String) Dim wA As Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds Dim vidPlayer As New AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer Controls.Add(vidPlayer) With vidPl...

I have HTML page where windows media player is embedded. It works very well in all browsers on Windows, but when trying to open in Firefox on Mac OS, it fails to open. Is there any alternative method which can be controlled using Javascript or HTML or do I have to install Window Media Player support for Mac OS? ...
