View 18 RepliesPlaying MP3 Audio Files (And Not Using WMP)
Sep 27, 2010Based on a thread earlier today, and in particular an answer that Cor gave wherein he
pointed to this article, I thought that I'd do some investigation. Many times here the question has come up about playing .mp3 audio files and NOT using the Windows Media Player object. In the article referenced above, he shows how this can be done via DirectX.
I've looked at DirectX before and it seemed ambiguous so I never really dug into it but it turns out to be pretty simple actually! I thought that I'd write this as a step-by-step of what I did so that maybe some of you will find use from it. The whole thing stems around using DirectX and to begin with, you'll need to download and install the SDK for it. If you haven't already,
try this link. Do be aware that it's a large download (about a half gig)! Once that's installed, create a form and add a reference to the class that we need for this. You can do this several ways, but the way I usually do is to right-click on the name in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Add Reference":

Playing MP3 Files From The Internet?
Jun 21, 2010I want to play MP3 Files directly from the internet. I don't want to use other applications, like WMP, just my application.
I have a file that contains the list of the playable files: listoftracks.ini that contains:
hxxp://....../example.mp3
hxxp://....../example2.mp3
I wrote hXXp instead of http to disable links - in the files, they are http

Playing Video Files (And Not Using WMP!)
Oct 3, 2010This is tied in with the other discussion that I started last week about playing audio files using the DirectX classes. If you haven't yet had a look at that other thread,Using the same reference as in the audio application, let's set up a form for video this time. I started with a form that I then placed a split container on and in the lower panel of the split contatiner, I placed the buttons and other controls. Following is how I have mine set up:
Reread the thread on the audio player because the methods are very similar - in fact some are identical! However, this is video and it got a bit more involved as you might expect.The full code is here and I hope you'll find it useful to you. Following is a screenshot of the end result.
Playing 8 Mono .wav Files To 7.1 Speakers?
Jul 4, 2010Is it possible to play 8 different and individual mono wave files to a 7.1 (8 channels) audio system using vb.net? (I undestand that the .1 speaker is the subwoofer and I'm not yet sure it can be replaced with an ordinary speaker.) The playing should start simultaneously and the files can be of different size/length.Is this something that should be done using win API functions if it can be accomplished at all.I just re-installed my old VB6 which I need to ugrade and vb.net would be the easiest for me so I placed this Q here.
View 2 RepliesPlaying Audio Files In The Background?
Jan 29, 2009I am working on an application in VB.net (.NET 2.0) where I need to open a dynamic amount of different audio streams. Normally, for audio files, one would suggest importing the Windows Media Player COM reference and adding a GUI-based element from the toolbox, but since I'll be working with a dynamic amount of these a GUI would be a terrible idea (especially with Tab stops).
View 4 RepliesPlaying AVI Files So That They Work On XP, Vista And Win7
Jun 23, 2010We have code in our former VB6 application, that ported fine to VB.NET, that plays a simple AVI file of the typical "flying folders" and "spinning maginfying glass" AVI. Under Windows XP, our application ran fine and everything was good.
Then we had customers start using Vista and Win7 and this stuff crashes. We were using the MS Common Controls (SP4) and then (SP6) - utilizing the Animation player. Now - these dont work and we get nasty errors.
I searched Microsoft and the web to answer the "what now?" question and though there are numerous suggestions, none of them work. We cant use Media Player because we dont want any menu - just the graphic. We dont know why, with the cool tools given in .NET, there is no animation player (seems a huge oversight...) But we need to get "unstuck" on this one, and we need that fast...
So, How does on play a simple AVI file using VB.NET code? What DLL or OCX does Microsoft recommend and is there a place we can find some sample code for it?

View 1 RepliesVS 2010 - Playing Multiple Files From Array
Feb 26, 2011I'm trying to make a "Simon" game with four buttons labeled 1-4. The game is supposed to read the numbers out loud, but i have a problem with that. I have 4 wav files from google text-to-speech, each named 1-4. I made an number generator that can return like this "42331", and the game is supposed to play 4.wav, 2.wav, 3.wav, 3.wav and 1.wav.
Here's what I got so far.
Public Class Form1
Dim rnd As New Random
Dim i = 0
Dim level As Integer = 5
Dim nums As String

It only plays 1.wav (the last in the sequence).
Game Programming :: Playing Wave Files In An Application
Nov 20, 2008I have a program that speaks wave files. This works problemless with the Soundplayer class with the following code:
Sub MyPlayWav(ByVal WavFileName As String, ByVal StartPos As Long, ByVal EndPos As Long)
Dim wp as new SoundPlayer
wp.SoundLocation = WavFileName
wp.Play
End sub
The soundplayer does however not seem to have a method to play the wave from position StartPos to position EndPos and achieving just that would mean quite a reduction in downloads of these files.
The soundplayer does have a stream object, and that does have a seek method, suggesting that there might be a way to accomplish this, but how?
I plan to include other media files as I am developping the project, and I guess I will be confronted with the same problem.
VS 2010 : Deleting Files, Fonts From Resources, Playing Videos?
Jan 11, 2012I am having a _ton_ of issues, and I am hoping some of you could clear it up...
1. OK So a while back someone showed me an example for fonts from resources, but I noticed if you close the window that it opens, The entire program shuts down... what can I do to fix it?Also, The fonts are not showing up on all computers, only this one....
2. I am trying to delete a image file, which the program downloads from the internet, and can change regularly, but when I try to delete it will not delete. It says its in use, and I cant figure out where.
3. I am trying to play videos using the following
vb
Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As String, ByVal uReturnLength As Integer, ByVal hwndCallback As Integer) As Integer
Const WS_CHILD As Integer = &H40000000
[code]....
Now, I have confirmed the files it is attempting to play are in fact valid video files. It refuses to play all but the last one.
VS 2010 Playing With MS Code Analysis?
Apr 1, 2011I decided to try the Code Analysis tool that came with VB2010 (at some levels). It produced LOTS of fascinating comments. Many of the comments make no sense, such as one about not disposing of a type on all paths when there is only one path that ends with an explicit call to object.Dispose. I think the analysis engine is looking at some of the calls, but they all return to the caller properly.

VS 2008 Playing .WAV (32bit)?

which is my favorite because of the SEAMLESS loop which I cannot accomplish with the first code.However there is a problem.Both will play .WAV files of any frequency be it 44.1 or 48 so long as its 16bit. My problem is that I have .wav files which are 24 bit, and 32 bit. It is odd because these files play and can be made in a variety of audio applications, but when playback is attempted using the supplied code, nothing but silence!While I know how to re-encode the audio to a new bit depth, I need to play back these specific files.
VS 2008 Playing With Numbers
Feb 27, 2010Could anyone tell me the logic or the code to do this scenario:I Have 10 numbers (they're in a list or any other), they're all randomized, e.g. {1,4,7,7,5,2,4,1,4,9}.Now there's a code to take all of those 10 numbers and take out paired numbers, they're two ones, two sevens, and three fours. So the program will delete the ones, sevens, and fours, but leaving one four because one is not paired up. Now they're only 4 numbers in the list {5,2,4,9}.

View 25 RepliesVS 2008 Playing With The Designer - InitializeComponent - Forbidden Area ?
Sep 20, 2011Alright so i have a form with alot (ALOT) of controls...many tabs, many listviews, many comboboxes and textboxes, all of which have values which i saveload using a class i made for saving and loading these values from a file.
Loading these values is pretty slow after the form loads. Takes around 3 seconds (i had to create a splashscreen and made it look decent, but it's still not a nice thing to have)
Then today i decided to try something. I opened the designer to initialize component, and i called the LoaderSub (that loads the values for the controls from a file) within initialize component, in a location after all the properties are set but before all the .resumelayout and .performlayout are called. Lo' and behold the form loaded in less than half a second, with the values and all.
However, now everytime i make a change to the form in design view, or even add a handler to some control in code view, the designer redraws and the auto generated code takes out my code from initializecomponent.
I did the googling, and all the results i found for similar cases issues were cases where the person asking the question im going to ask, the answer is "Didn't you read the part that says DO NOT MODIFY?"
Still, as a last attempt, I ask here: is there any way to modify initializecomponent without losing my changes? I just need to call LoaderSub before the layout resumes...if i call it before initialize component, i get null reference exceptions. And if i call it right after initialize component, loading is very slow.
