VS 2008 - Play WAV, MP3 Music From Within Service Without External Program WMP
Jun 6, 2009
I am making a Windows Service and i need to play either a WAV or MP3 from within the service (no using external program like WMP) May I ask which is the easiest way to go about this with built in stuff on VS 08. I don't mind which I use whether its WAV or MP� but I only need to use one of them.
Basically, I want to trigger music to play in its natural environment (itunes, WMP, Zune, whatever) from a console app, but I can only find ways of playing .wav files, which most of the files i want to play are not.
Hey guys, I'm a new guy in VB.NET. I am proposing my final year project a title called music studio. My version of music studio is like real music video where we can play many sound at any time. For example, the application that I want to build can create many button and also add an audio along with it. And then, when we hit the 1st button, it play 1st audio. while 1st audio play, we also can hit 2nd button and 2nd audio is playing. for example, 1st audio is sound of man walking, and then 2nd audio is the sound of glass break. lastly 3rd sound sound of police siren play. Is it cool? so, my question is, is it possible the I can build an application by using VB.NET?
I've created a new form in my program and dragged the windows media player into the form. I have an mp3 in a resources folder within the project. I've set the URL to the name of the mp3. I've looked at tutorials but they make the windows player accessible to the users. I just want the user to be able to hear the music and not be able to change anything regarding the background music.
I want the music to start playing at runtime and continue to loop for now. I will eventually want to switch up the background music depending on which form the user is on. But for now I would be happy just getting a single mp3 to play continuously.
Is it possible I can read in a file as such to a byte array or other method & have the file playback from memory & not a file on the filesystem?
I am trying to do this because the file may be deleted right away if it's not needed & if I can add it to a byte array I can clean up before it starts playing & clear the files but if I have to keep them if the program is ended abruptly or crashes then it never gets a chance to clean up & I don't want to chance files being left behind for a long time till my program is re-opened to clear them...
NOTE:The files i'm trying to play currently are .mp3 files if that makes a difference for the method(s) I have to use if any exist to allow it to play from memory...
I'm trying to play music from a memorystream in a WMP control.I can succesfully stream music with MediaPlayer, but this is limited to .wav and can't pause and so.
Dim mPlayer As New MediaPlayer(entryBytes.ToArray()) 'begin playing the file mPlayer.Play()
Is it possible to load a array of bytes or a memorystream into the WMP control?
I have a listbox with FileInfo in it so it can be music, when button11 is pressed for the songs to play in mediaplayer1 (axwindowsmediaplayer1) in a random order, then when the song finishes the next will play.
i'm writing a game in vb 2008 and i want to play music and sound effects from my.resources at the same time,but when a sound effect plays the music stops playing.
I have a project in vb 2010 that im working on. I want to know if I publish this and make it downloadable when it is done will my background music be heard by others? I am pretty sure it's only playing on mine because the song is on my computer right? Is there a code to make it so it stays even if i make this program downloadable?
I started making a program, and I wanted to insert music to play. i just added music to the resources and used the code my.computer.audio.play(my.resources.name_of_the_file and so on. this worked perfectly until I added the 5th song. the resource file became to large and vb said it was corrupt. so I thought of a new way: making a music file opener. I made a code so a window opens where you can select your .wav files. that all worked, but I couldn't get it so the music would start automaticly or that it would actually play. this is the code I have so far:
vb.net Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog() Open.Filter = "Wav [*.wav*]|*.wav" Open.CheckFileExists = True
[Code]....
as you can see I put stars in the place where I have no idea what I have to do next. I e.g. tried my.computer and a path
Visual Basic 2010 Windows Forms Application I am trying to create an application that will allow a user to choose from a menu option in ListBox, click "Play" button, and the application will play music, and transition between 3 pictures.
What i want to do is make a music player that will play a song in the .exe format, so an app will open and automatically play a song. This is to prevent ripping and copyright issues. I made a app using the WMP Com Component but that of course requires the file to be opened.
