Media Player

Hey all, I want to try to create a replacement Winamp (hopefully many
are familiar with this) with only the features I need stripped down
because I like the original software, but lately it has gone far from
what I enjoy using) and the old software is no longer available.

I want to create basically a simple media player than can play
everything from mp3's to cd's to movie files. For now, I just want to
start with audio and it is only for my computer so I figured to make
life easier I would use the Media Player SDK to guide me. However, I am
having trouble using Media player and was wondering if anyone could
point me to some samples for VB.Net on creating such an application so I
can get started. Maybe using the Media Player component would not be a
good idea?

Any help as always is appreciated, thanks in advance once again!

-Ivan

I'm trying to access the media player (V10) mediacollection object from my ..NET web service to return a list of media files. For some reason when i call getByAttribute("MediaType", "Audio") it does not return anything (ie. an empty playlist object), however if i call this using just a normal windows app, it returns all of my audio files as expected. I am suspecting it is using the ASPNET user (ie. default web service user) instead of...

I have a .avi file that uses the Divx codec. If I load it with windows media player program it works fine. If I load it using my control in a program, it doesn't display. Over standard media files work fine so it's this particular file. Do I have to do anything when the file uses a non-included codec? How can I tell what Codec it's using? TIA - Jeff.

I'm working on project that plays movies using Windows Media Player and I'm controlling everything with JavaScript. Per the client I only need to support IE 6 or greater which happens to make things a bit easier. What I need to do is create a playlist and play it using JavaScript. I keep on getting close but not close enough to play the dang files. Has anyone done this before and can shed some light on what worked for them?

I am currently using an Object element of type "application/x-mplayer2" to create a media player in ASP.NET 3.5, and was wondering if there is a better way to instantiate WMP in a browser. I'm hoping to find something with better cross-browser compatibility. I looked at System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer in PresentationCore.dll but I'm assuming that is used for Windows Forms (WPF). I'm also looking at the Silverlight 2.0 MediaElement as a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
