windows media player

[Ringo]

I'm trying to use windows media player in an app. I can give it an mp3
and it plays it, but if I give it a playlist it will not play and even
the play button on the control is not active.

btn_open_mediaFile works fine,
tn_open_playlist acts likes nothing happened except I see the name of
the playlist. What am I missing?
Also, if an mo3 is playing, loading a playlist stops it from playing.
here is my code
private void btn_open_mediaFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs
e)
{
openFileDialog1.Filter = "music|*.mp3";
openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
string filename = openFileDialog1.FileName;
player.URL = filename;
}

private void btn_open_playlist_Click(object sender, EventArgs
e)
{
openFileDialog1.Filter = "playlists|*.wpl";
openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
string filename = openFileDialog1.FileName;
player.currentPlaylist =
player.mediaCollection.getByName(filename);
currentPlaylistLabel.Text = ("Found first playlist. Name =
" + player.currentPlaylist.name);
player.Ctlcontrols.play();// does not work with or without
this line
}

any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Ringo,

I'm just guessing, but it could be that the media collection that you
are accessing doesn't have the playlist loaded yet. Is there a method to
load the playlist from the filename?
