VLC Media Player With Progress Bar - Refreshing User Control
Jan 17, 2010
I'm writing a program that relies on an underlying VLC media player. I want to run a progress bar to show how much of the track has been played. How should I update the control? Should I use a timer firing at 1ms and update values when it ticks, or is there a better way?

I am using the media player control in my VB2010 project and hit a problem. I want to detect when a user has pressed the "next " button on the media player console.I can use the following code to detect the pause, play, fast forward, etc but I do not see anything that will detect when the "next" button is pressed.
I am having an issue playing video with an embedded Windows Media Player control. It plays fine on Windows XP but comes up blank on Windows 7. I am guessing it is compatibility between version 11 and 12. Am I correct in thinking that Windows 7 will not play the Media Player 11 control? If so, how do I package my product to work with XP and Win 7? If I develop on Win 7 will the Media Player 12 embedded control play on XP (backward compatible)?Should my requirements be that Media Play 11 is installed? I am just confused because I cannot find anyone else having the same issue. Has anyone experienced this or know about it?My problems are, Video was playing in Windows 7 but clicking the video gave an untrappable (didnt catch) error (crash) in the Click event of the video... then suddenly (i think after a windows update) the video is not Playing anymore. But it plays fine and does not give the click error on Windows XP.
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].....
Is there any way to disable visualizations in VB media player control. Because I would like to play both music and video using the same control, but when playing music I don't want the player control to show the visualizations.
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 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 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.
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 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?
