Take A Screen Shot Of Only The Windows Media Player Control Vb 2005 - 2010?
Nov 18, 2011
I have looked all over the internet to find specifically what the title says and i cant find anything that will work and is what i want, it's mostly all vb6. so even more specifically i am creating a program that captures screenshots of the "axwindowsmediaplayer" control at what ever frame or part of the video it's on. i also noticed that there is a command in the little menu when you type in "axwindowsmediaplayer.capture" i don't know how to use it?
I have an application that is currently playing videos through the windows media player control from a website. I want it so that a button I have created, when clicked will make the wmp control full screen.
One of the things my VB.NET program does is play video files using the Windows Media Player component that comes with VB. My program also switches the WMP component to full screen but once in a while the form will be on top of the full screen video. I am hoping that you fine and knowledgeable folks cat this from happening. The problem occurs when the next video file is played automatically. I'll do my best to post a bit of code but since I don't have much of an idea what might be causing this I'll just have to guess. The project has gotten quite large over the years I've been writing it and if any more code ito post any or all of it, though I'm sure no one would like to go through all 1771 lines of it.
Private Sub WMP_PlayStateChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent) Handles WMP.PlayStateChange If Stopping = True Then
It's usual to see hoe to build a player with the AxWindowsMediaPlayer.
But in this occasion, I'm interested in control de Windows Media Player from Windows 7 with my own application.For example, I want to create a button that is able to pause or play the video that I'm watching with the WMP.
I want to know if its possible to get song information (Artist, Song Name, ect.) from the Windows Media Player Control in VB 2008. I have the control on the form and I want the program, if a song is playing, to be able to get the information above (most importantly artist) and put it in a textbox.
I am developing an application to play sound effects. I intend to have four seperate channels that can each play their own file.Seems a bit slow - can I buffer the files or is there an alternative to the Url property?Can I drag-drop onto this control? I have set the AllowDrop property to true, but I cannot find the event handlers for DragEnter, DragLeave and DragDrop that need to be handled to allow dragging and dropping.Is there a way to fix this or do I need to find an alternative? If I need an alternative, it must Be able to play any type of media file - mp3, wav, ideally midi.Have adjustable pan and volume?Be able to loop a track?Be quick at loading a file??Be able to mute?Ideally have some form of VU meter or something like that.?Be able to be dropped on to.The other thing that would really be awesome would be if I could have an option that would route each player to an individual output on the sound card; I have an 8-out sound card, and it would be great if I could send player one to outputs 1/2, two to 3/4 and so on.
I am trying to created a simple media player program. I have a Windows Media Player control on a form (renamed it wmp1) and a listbox that creates a list of filenames from a given folder location.When i click on a filename from the listbox, i set the wmp1.url to the filename in the listbox and all is good as the wmp1 control automatically plays the file chosen form the listbox.
having lot of problems playing a video on a form.Is there a better control for viewing videos than windows media player? For video resource files, what should the build action be? Will a form which has a 32-bit windows media player control on it work on a 64-bit computer?For some reason, the following code does not work:
If System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached() Then strVidFilePath = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(Application.StartupPath & ".... esources")[code].....
I'm writing an application in VB2008 that monitors 4 different live audio streams using the Windows Media Player 11 control. What I'd like it to do is if audio is coming in on one of the streams, it would mute all the others. I can't find a way to determine that audio is playing in any of the streams. If there was a way to access the equalizer (somehow that must be do-able since the visualizations have access) I think I'd be set. And I'll pay for a control if there's something else out there which can handle live streaming audio (the audio is available in WMP, Real, and WinAmp format).
I have been trying to tweak the form and all of a sudden it doesn't show anymore. I have tried reversing all the settings back to original but nothing. Then I have tried:
I had an old vb2008 program that had a working wmplayer component. I upgraded the project to vb 2010 and now it doesnt work, i get the error:
Code: System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message=An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. I added the wmp.dll in the COM components in the toolbox.
I cant get it to work.
I have 64bit windows, but the app im developing needs to work of 32bit (and 64 bit if possible). also windows 7.
I added a new form and tried to drag the windows media player component onto the form and it showed an error and would not add it to the form it said.
Failed to create component 'AxHost'....unable to load one or more of the requested types.
The weird thing is if i open a new project ad=nd add the wmp control to the form it works and debuig runs fine too!
I inserted wmp active x some buttons for my online streaming links and i created a button for fullscreen.
To enter in fullscreen while the stream is running i used this code Me.AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.fullScreen = True But when i click the button while the player is connecting to stream i get an error like this:
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
I want to insert a Windows Media Player object in my Form, but I have not the control on my Toolbox.
I have done the steps:
Right-click the Toolbox -> Choose item -> COM Components -> add Windows Media Player component (which references to C:WindowsSystem32wmp.dll)
But there is not the control on my Toolbox.
In my project references I see "MediaPlayer" into "Imported namespaces" and it is checked. In the references window it is also present "Windows Media Player". Where is the error?
I'm writing a program which plays audio using a windows media player control. It's quite basic but I'm running into a problem.
Soundplayer.Ctlcontrols.play() Sleep(3000)
For some reason when this appears in my code, the sound doesn't start playing until AFTER the sleep. I have music running in the background, using another windows media player control, that continues playing just fine.
Basically, I want nothing else to happen for the duration of the sound, hence the sleep, so how can I make it so my sound starts playing BEFORE the sleep?
I'm using the windows media player (wmp.dll) in vb.net 2008 and would like to know if it's possible to play a specific portion of the video. For example, I would like to start to play the video X minutes from the start and for Y amount of time.
When I attempt to drag a WMP control from the toolbox this error arises: [code]Has anyone had this problem? I was able to add this component previously, however this was on my desktop computer.
I was wondering if it was possible to use Visual Basic .NET and perhaps the WMP Interop DLL to get the active song from Windows Media Player, and maybe the playlist that's currently on it? I did a quick Google search and found a bunch of jargon that wasn't related (such as making my own MP3 player using WMP Interop

I'm creating a kind of 'playlist manager' application where the user can create his own music playlist and then play it from my application. However, I don't want to give my application any playback features itself, as there are already so many media players around. Instead, I just want to open the files in the current playlist in the media player of the user's choice.
I have a list of MP3 files (their filenames), how do I now open these files simultaneously in, for example, Windows Media Player? I can get it to play one song, using this command (and Process.Start)
[Code]...
Surely this must be possible? You can open multiple files in windows itself simply by selecting them and opening them at the same time. I'm pretty sure the filenames of the selected files will then be in the arguments of wmplayer so that it can open them, but I just don't know in what format.
I get an unhandled exception when I use a windows media player control on the form in order to play a movie file.It only happens when I run the program. But in debug, the error does not occur. What do I do?
I'm using Windows media player to display movies within my vb.net application - which works fine. But I have noticed if I double-click the movie it expands to full screen, which I don't want. I want it to stay in the window where I put it. I cannot find a setting that affects this,
