AxWindowsMediaPlayer PlayStageChange Event Either Broken Or (almost) Useless
Jul 16, 2010
After over a year of debugging and searching I have come to the conclusion that the AxWindowsMediaPlayer PlayStageChange event is either broken or (almost) useless. I am not the only one that has come to this conclusion [URL]
Let's start with the official documentation for the PlayStateChange event: "Windows Media Player states are not guaranteed to occur in any particular order. Furthermore, not every state necessarily occurs during a sequence of events. You should not write code that relies upon state order." I have been a top level software developer for 25 years and I don't recall ever seeing documentation that officially states that a certain function cannot actually be relied upon in a repeatable fashion. I'm all for multi-threading but this is a bit astounding to say the least. I can only assume that this event is actually exposed soley for logging status.
I have a .txt file on website, and i need to get it's contents to string, so i try with webbrowser control, i set everythin up, test run it, after 100 times testing[url]...
I'm using Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", "2; url=default.aspx") To send users back to the home page after they log in or log out and it works. But, on the contact us page it fails and this is what it says: The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.Requested URL: /default.aspx, 2; url=default.aspx The weird thing is this doesn't happen in debug, only on the live site. It looks like it's appending the header twice somehow...
Trying to use ESRI MapObjects 2.4 in Visual Studio 2010 now traps an error when you instantiate the map object:Additional information: Could not load the structure 'ESRI.MapObjects2.Core.CancelActionConstants' from assembly 'ESRI.MapObjects2.Core, Version=2.4.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fc3cc631e44ad86'. The structure is marked as eligible for type equivalence, but it has a static or non-public field.
There is no </p> tag so i cannot parse it completely. Now i have two questions :
1) can this be parsed using httpagility xpath ?
2) i have a function to find text between two strings (getbetween). But i have a doubt - If i use "asdasdasd" and " is it always 100% that vb.net will use the script tag which is just above h3 because there are 2-3 same lines - "asdasdasd"
When I click the "Publish" tab for the project, I get the following message: An error occurred trying to load the page, The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your application.When I right-click the project and select "Publish," I get the same error Error: The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your application. ========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ========== ========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========If I do things manually using MageUI, everything works fine.I have attempted the "Repair" option from the VS Setup, but this has not resolved the problem.
Is there a way to reset to the original vb.net snippets that came along with visual studio 2008? I recently installed a purchased third party lib, that managed to break almost all the default snippets. I can see that the snippets do physically exist in C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VBSnippets1033 but only the following sections are loaded to vs 2008:
I was just wondering if anyone out there has experienced the same problem as i. I have tried using open process with ReadProcessMemory and have been getting the same darn return value back (OpenProcess return value = 373662154752) and i dont know why.I tried even changing the processID to a bogus value and i get the same handle back! i find that really weird and frusterating. Anyways here is a snipet of my code.
[Code]...
I also want to mention that i have tried changing the Access rights to PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS and received same damn value... Any help on getting it to work would be appreaciated. Also i am working under windows 7 X64(Bit) if that makes any difference.
P.S If you have questions to why im using these api functions, its to do with creating a program to save information from stored buffers of a flight simulation software at bombardier where i work. All software has been given to me in order to build this program.
I've been using 'Process.Start()' for awhile now, to open web pages. And now, recently, I've noticed that it does not work anymore. Is there a solution to this? my format for it is:[URL]..and this does not work. It Throws and esception saying that the Parameter's were in-correct. This error just suddenly started appearing, no idea why.
We've recently upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010. The conversion of our vb.net Windows Forms app went well, but we're now having big problems with the forms designer.retty much any change to the layout of a form (sometimes just a solution rebuild) will work once, but on recompile, the IDE designer refuses to display the form, the error message being a null-reference exception (with no details as to what).Closing and restarting VS2010 will cure it, but only for one compile cycle - and it's obviously not practical to close and reopen every time. Closing and reopening the form does not fix it.

I am using AxWindowsMediaPlayer on VB.NET to preview MP3 files from the web so that the user can choose to download it if he likes it. It works. I just put a link in the URL property and after a while it begins playing. ... after a while, of course. Because it has to download the file first. Perhaps I realized that because of my slow connection XD. But that made me think: how can I tell if the player is currently downloading a file? So that I can put a label saying "Please wait, preparing file..." or something.
i make a simple winform application with AxWindowsMediaPlayer and timer.
My objective is about to make the application play the clip with interval (that's why i use timer)
When AxWindowsMediaPlayer finish playing the first clip, everything's okay. But when it begin playing the next clip. It CAN'T HAVE FULLSCREEN MODE. I have to double click the control manually to have it fullscreen. I use vb 2005 in 7 ultimate.
Here is my code
Private Sub AxWindowsMediaPlayer_PlayStateChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent) Handles AxWindowsMediaPlayer.PlayStateChange
I am making a media player and I have a button where I want the text to change depending whether the media player is playing or paused. So far I have this:
If (AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPlaying) Then Then Button3.Text = "Pause" ElseIf (AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPaused) Then Button3.Text = "Play" End If
The problem is, is that i get an error under WMPLib.WMPPlayState on both lines. The error says 'WMPPlayState' is ambiguous in the namespace 'WMPLib'..
I have the windows media player embedded in a windows form, I have tried to set the uiMode to 'None' but it will not work, I have tried doing it using the properties window in the development screen which accepts 'None' but when the program is run it shows the controls on the player.I have also tried placing the action into code: AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.uiMode = none This generates an error stating the 'None' is not declared.
this is my Dim files() As IO.FileInfo = New IO.DirectoryInfo(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "downloaded songs").GetFiles("*.wmv") Listbox1.Items.AddRange(files) but when i load - nothing happens
How do I get the video to finish playing in AxWindowsMediaPlayer before it loads another form? It keeps showing the next form briefly before the video starts.
I am using Windows Media Player component in vb2008 and I was wondering if there is a way to make it repeat? or if I can just make it play every 51 seconds (which is how long the song is) I tried Axwindowsmediaplayer1.play and .repeat, But neither of those are functions, So I'm not sure what I would have to use.
I have a axwindowsmediaplayer object in my form which plays a video on load, but unfortunately the video seems too small and there is a massive black border around the video, is there anyway I can stretch the video to fill the whole player window?
I'm using VS 2008 pro version under windows 7. I'm developing an app, and my app has 2 forms. When i press a button in form 1, form 2 will show up. Form 2 contains an axwindowsmediaplayer control and I set the autostart to true. The problem is: When i start debugging the app, the form 1 shows up and I click the button to call form 2, the form 2 shows up and the player start playing ( this is really good, at first), when i close form 2, the player stop, the app takes me to form 1 again, now is the problem, when i call form 2 again, the player seems don't want to show up, i don't know how to describe, here is the image .
I'm using AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer to play wmv files within my application. I provide an encrypted wmv file, which will not play on windows media player and within my application load it into an array, decrypt it and save it as a normal wmv file, which can then be played in the normal way by windows media player.However, I want to avoid saving the decrypted file to disk as this could then be copied by the user. Is there a way to play the media from within my application without first saving the file to disk? IE directly from the byte array?
