I was wondering if it was possible to have a program open Firefox, and have it open a bunch of tabs that all go to a link with a video, and then have it automatically play that video?

View 14 RepliesI am making a media player and I have a button where I want the text to change depending whether the media player is playing or paused. So far I have this:
If (AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPlaying) Then Then
Button3.Text = "Pause"
ElseIf (AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPaused) Then
Button3.Text = "Play"
End If
The problem is, is that i get an error under WMPLib.WMPPlayState on both lines. The error says 'WMPPlayState' is ambiguous in the namespace 'WMPLib'..
I've been wondering how one could create a button which display "play" when it's not pressed. And then shows "pause" once it's pressed. And visa versa when it's pressed again.I had a similar problem when trying to create an expand panel button, but that was easy because I could just set a variable to true or false if PanelCollapsed was true. But in this case I couldn't find any property in a button that I could query.
If isPlay = True Then
If isPaused = False Then
btnPlay.Image = Image.FromFile("iconPause.png")[code].....
I am new to stackoverflow and the programming world. I have a basic program i'm making that will play a song in the background.
I already have that part working, it auto starts a launch of program.
However, I would like to have a button that pauses, then resumes the audio.
(I am trying to avoid making it a media player and using the media player control) Song was add as a resource.
My.Computer.Audio.Stop (works to stop it.)
But how can I implement the pause,resume? by adding a boolean or something?
(I would like pause and resume feature to be within the same button)
This 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.
Im trying to do a video player but i have to play this video from the buffer, is this possible.. Let me explain you much more complicated,a got a CryptoStream and im decryting the video
While lngBytesProcessed < lngFileLength
'Read file with the input filestream.
intBytesInCurrentBlock = fsInput.Read(bytBuffer, 0, 4096)
'Write output file with the cryptostream.
[code]....
This code writes my decryted or crypted video to a new file. However, i need to play the video file from the buffer(without copying to a new file), in other way it would be meaningless if i create a decryted file. in other words it would unsecure for me cuz if anyone can locate my temp directorey they can copy my decrypted video files.
I have scoured just about every code sample on the web, and am still having trouble. Basically my code follows the following structure:
I installed the DirectX SDK, and imported AudioVideoPlayback Imports Microsoft.Directx.AudioVideoPlayback '''
Then I create my VideoPlayer Public WithEvents VideoPlayer as Video So far so good, I have event handlers and a video object
Then:
[CODE]...........
I execute the above subroutine and the video plays flawlessly
[CODE]............
The above code works perfectly as well
Then I try to execute the PlayVideo sub to play another file and I get a generic "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error, that does not point to any particular line of code. It took me forever to find out exactly what line of code was causing this. So I came up with a workaround:
In the PlayVideo sub I changed the code to this
[CODE]..............
And there it is, the second video played without error. but then I noticed something, after the second video ended the .Ending event handler did not fire, actually all the event handlers basically died. So someone told me to use a timer to monitor when the video ends, and I basically laughed it off since we know that's an amateur move. After being frustrated for a while, I caved in and used the timer to do my dirty work, which I really don't like.
Now there's another problem, after I play a video in my project, DirectX is not screwed up for other programs until I restart my computer. Particularly I have a visualization plugin for Windows Media Player called Gforce. After I play a video, Gforce will not work, it gives me an "Error=18" which means that my computer does not have sufficient hardware to use it. The only way to be able to clear it up is to restart my computer.
Here are my specs:
Intel 3.0ghz Dual Core processor
Nvidia Geforce 9800GT with 1GB ram
4 GM Ram
Windows 7 64-bit version (build 7100)
Programming in Visual Studio 2008 Professional (using Visual Basic code)
I originally attempted to use the AxWindowsMediaPlayer control, but I am unable to. According to Microsoft there is a bug that prevents me from using it. When I pull up the choose items dialog box it does not show up, if I browse to wmp.dll to manually add it, I get an error ("self-registration for c:windowssystem32wmp.dll failed"). I also read that you should try to add the wmp.ocx instead of wmp.dll, but I am at a loss on this since I am pretty sure that file does not exist. I am trying to put together a new media player program for my theater pc and this video thing is putting me to a standstill. I am a highly experienced vb programmer (over 20 years), but I am not very experienced in DirectX. I have read a lot of code samples on video playback but they all give me tons of problems, so I hate to say it but i think that most of these samples were written by people who don't know what they are doing.

View 6 RepliesI have a start and stop button on a form and would like a pause and restart button aswell.
I can start my audio file (WAV file in the C-Drive) fine with;
My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:Bleep_TestBleep_Test.wav", AudioPlayMode.Background)
Thus allowing other functions to be carried out.I can stop my audio with;
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
But i would like to be able to pause and restart the audio?There are timers and getkeystates envolved with this form. The timers I can pause and restart, the getkeystates are a function called in conjunction with the timers as a case statement, (all this is working).how to pause and restart the audio, bearing in mind the loaction and the other features of the form? (I only wish i was a clever as you guys/girls out there to return the help rather than leaching your knowledge continously)
Ok, i know the simple media controls to play a video file on the control screen, but is there a way to play the video on the form background?
