Watching a Motion Jpeg stream in Windows Media Player

5 New Member
I have a camera that is sending a motion-jpeg stream over a network in real time, and I would like to open the stream and view the video in Windows Media Player. Firefox and VLC are able to show me the video, but Windows Media Player just says "Connecting to..." for forever. I think this is because the stream has no end - its just playing live.

I specifically need to be able to view it in Windows Media Player for a WPF application I'm working on.

I downloaded the codec from

http://www.free-codecs.com/Motion_JPEG_Cod ec_download.htm

, but I'm not sure how to continue.

My system: Windows XP, WMP 11.0.5721.5268

I know its possible because the other applications do exactly what I want out of the box - how do I get Media Player to behave the same way?

Thanks for any help,

Benjamin

Hi! Anybody tried using Windows Media Player 9 via win32com? (And more precisely, combining that with a Tkinter application.) I found a few earlier threads on Windows Media Player and Python, but it seems nobody has really got it to work, e.g. the below does not work: wmp = win32com.client.Dispatch("MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1") wmp.FileName = "C:/Path/To/Some/Media/File.wav"

Is it possible to read this stream from a Windows Media Player object in C# while the file is being played back? Can an event be triggered when a certain stream (FOURCC value) is hit in the file?

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?

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
