I have been working off and on for a year on my own media browser that I created in VB.NET. My program will play MP3 playlists as well as supporting drag and drop
Getting fileinfo of an mp3 is no problem but I have discovered that it is more complex when I try to get file duration of video files (.avi,.mpg) etc.
My code listed below uses a timer. In order for me to get a video duration value, I must actually play the file in axwindowsmediaplayer1 for one second. This seems not practical.
I have seen many examples on the internet in C# that read video metadata without need to play/load the file. Why are there no examples in vb.net of this? Is it too difficult to achieve in vb.net?[code]...
I am working on a media player, and I would like to setup a local playlist feature. I am using a single ListBox and its "Display-" and "Value-Member" properties. The display is the song's Artist and Name, and the value is the song's file path (i.e 'C:UsersUSERMusicetc.').To write the file path to the .txt file, I believe I can use the following code:[code]
I am making a program, obviously, and I require some assistance. I found an explanation on how to read information from a Text file and have modified it for my needs. Here is my (modded) version:
Public Function GetInfo(ByVal playlistname As String) As String On Error Resume Next Dim PlaylistInfo As String
My program turns on and off external relays from the parallel port. I need to find a way to activate the relay only while a wav file is playing and de-activate the relay when the wav file stops playing.
Is it possible to download a pls file and play it? it's basically streaming music, and I need to know if I can develop a way to play it through an application.

i need the code for playing a mp3 file what is in the resources. i don't have a clue of where to start. i've tried so many times but i always get an error.
I'm currently programming a music software which plays notes which are listed. as timer ticks, the notes change and so it plays a different *.wav file. The problem now is that the previous sounds stops when a new sound starts. i want them to overlap each other until each one has finished. Code: my.computer.audio.play("file.wav")
it work. But when I copy the flash file to resource folder and change path become relative ( "..\..\boleh.swf" )the animation not display and didn't show error message.
So I'm making a multi-function clock for practice.
It's a clock, timer and alarm. It's all done except for the alarm. I want to be able to choose a song (mp3) with OpenFileDialog1 and then play it when I click a button. I'm thinking about using a hidden Windows Media Player control,
I have done an extensive search before posting this question, using many different search parameters without success at finding an answer.Using Visual Studio 2008 Express VB:My program requires a notification when a wav file has finished playing, a media player song list will not suit my needs.I have used System.Media.SoundPlayer, Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound and My.Computer.Audio.Play to play a wav file. All work well at playing and stopping the requested wav. So far, I have not found a methode to capture an event when the wav has ended. DirectSound stops playing when the form has lost focus, so I dont think that I can use it. Audio.Play AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete only holds up other operations and I dont want to create multiple threads.
I am using VS 2005 Professional and writing a guitar tuner app with visual basic. I have a 6 wav files that play in button click events using the My.Computer.Audio.Play() method. I need to animate a picture box meter while a wav file is playing. I have searched in the library, but I can't find any relevant info for checking if a sound is playing for vb. Is there a way I can check to see if the wav file is playing?
I'm going through All-In-One Code Framework Coding Standards document and one of the recommendations is to add a file header comment at the start of every human-created code file. This is the first time I've seen such a recommendation and to me it's just an unnecessary and ugly clutter but I'm wondering if someone could explain why M$ recommends this?
I'd like to add music to one of my VB.Net 2010 applications. My preference would be an MP3, but if necessary I can convert to WAV. What's the easiest way to add and play a clip of music via VB.net 2010?
I've created a media player by using Media Player Component. Let's say that I have a picture box that controls the player. I want to try if the media player is playing a file, the picture box will disappear. I've tried to put these code into Form Load but nothing change.[code]...
Is there a way to play a wav file and then pause for 10 seconds and then it will repeat? I know it will be a loop, but the part that gets me is pausing for 10 seconds before starting the loop again.
[code]So basically the combobox1 item which is selected is sent to a string and is then supposed to be played from my resources. The .wav file which is in my resources is named "Sound1" however I have no idea how to reference it.
I am developing a WinForms app that stores media files (video/audio) on a file server.All the file attributes are indexed on a SQL server. Currently, I am accessing the files in my client app for playback and export to file by impersonating the authorized user for the file share, caching a local copy, then doing what I need to do with the cached file (playback, export etc.)If a viewer wants to view a file (using the AXWindowsMediaPlayer control), I have to first cache the file completely (using the process I just mentioned) before the user can play it back. Any way I can get around this - perhaps someway I can avoid the cache step and play directly from the UNC source?I tried impersonating the authorized user then passing the UNC path for the file to AXWindowsMediaPlayer,but I got an error. It seems like the impersonation does not work with the control.Different threads? Also, is there a better way to do all this? Mounting a share does not seem to be an options since I want to control access to the media files through the app.
I have used DirectSound to play a wave file in my application using the function CreateSoundBufferFromFile. It works perfectly.Now I want to play files from a resource dll file. I have created 1n2v32.dll file having nearly 100 small wave files named 1,2,3... I can play them using LoadLibraryEx, PlaySound & FreeLibrary.Now, I am trying to use CreateSoundBufferFromResource function from DirectSound api to play these files. I get Run-time error '432': File name or class name not found during Automation operation I used the following code to create the buffer.
Set LDSB = LDS.CreateSoundBufferFromResource(App.Path & "1n2v32.dll", "14", BufferDesc, gw)
I'm using the following code to populate a DataGridView with a worksheet. This is working fine, however, I'm unsure how I can get the Text from the page header. (not to be confused with the column header). Later in my code when I am exporting into an existing workbook with a new worksheet, I'm wanting to use the header text as the tab name. The header text being "September 2009" so that when I import/manipulate/export october, the new tab will be "October 2009" etc. [Code]
however, I am stuck at BinaryReader.actually this is what i am trying to acheive through VB.NET.say for the following file type :
JPG file = FF D8 FF E0 BMP file = 42 4D BE 4E PNG file = 89 50 4E 47 GIF file = 47 49 46 38
the above are the 4-byte headers in Hex(raw) I need to read these headers of any given file using OpenFileDialog using Button1_click event,on selection of any given file(*.* filters ON)it should use the BinaryReader and look for only 4-bytes starting from offset 0, and it should not go to EOF marker (-1).and have a variable to hold this 4-byte header value, to run this in a database table which will check the same header value in the table and would display the corresponding extension of the file. from the table.
I can do this using case, if then...etc.however, I have to do it using Database and also i need to check for testing purpose to use MsgBox() to display this variable which is holding the 4-byte header.however, the MsgBox doesnt allow anything other than String.
[code] I am programming a simple alarm clock and the loop never ends the clock stops counting seconds, and I can not click any button as the form seems to be frozen
I want to make a function to record the sound and then to play the record,like the telephone. I have ever download some articles,but they were all too complex,or they have too many unassociate code,so I can not understand the courses of the recording and playing.I want to get some code here?
I have a problem. When I play a wav file using winmm, as soon as I click on a different command button on the form, the audio playback stops. How do I make sure the wav files are allowed to play in their entirety even when focus is moved to another control?
in my application i created table called houseloading which has field called housename.which is inserted into the sqlserver database. my table will look like this

What is the simplest way to use a C++ header file in a VB.NET application?I need to access an API defined via the header file for a custom VB.NET windows app.
I have a csv file generated with headings on the first row and data on the rest. The file varies each time and I have to have all these values for further usage. I'm using File.ReadAllLines(path) but could ignore the header row.
