Playing File Over Network With AXWMPLib.AXWindowsMediaPlayer?
Jan 18, 2010
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'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?
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 have a program for playing MP3 files using Media Player. The program developed originally under Vista using VBExpress 2010 works fine.
But when I run it under Win7 parts of the program don't work. In both cases the audio is played OK but under Win7 the 'playstatechange' events don't seem to happen!?!
I have put a breakpoint in event and under Vista the events happen...under Win7 the breakpoint is never reached. In both cases I am using VB Express 2010 and running under the debugger. I have seen this problem reported before in the forums but no answer was apparent.
I am writing an application for managing mp3 files. I use AXWindowsMediaPlayer1 for playing files and UltraID3 for reading and writing ID3 tags. Every time the user selects to switch to next song, the ID3 tags of the current file need to be updated. My problem is with Media Player taking a long time to release a file for access after doing a "close". Currently I need to add a 6 seconds delay between the "Close" method of the media player and the ID3 tag "Write", otherwise I get the error saying that the file is currently in use. Anything less than 6 seconds does not work...
I attached a short version of my application which focuses on the issue.
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.
Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:
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 to decrypt a file by calling an exe.when i call this i need to supply password to that exe how can i supply the password programtically [code]this is what iam using to decript that file named V4933001.txt when i use this code a command promt will be poped up there i need to supply password.but i need to supply that password programatically
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.
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]...
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'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 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)
[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?
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 was using the following code to check the file size of a data file on my local machine. Now the data files have been moved to a mapped network drive and this code no longer works. What do I need to change or how do I access file size on a mapped drive?
Dim MyFile As New FileInfo(MyFilePath) Dim FileSize As Long = MyFile.Length
