We all know Window Media Player can't play rm file by default if we haven't installed extra codec. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack or ffdshow can't help. But After PC install Alternative 2.0.2,Window Media Player is able to play rm file. Here is the link http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...lternative.htm.

Is it possible to play rm using mciSendString API? What is the devicename for rm file?

Code:
 ' Specify the name of the device
    Select Case DeviceType
    Case cdaudio
        DeviceName = "cdaudio"
    Case AVIVideo
        DeviceName = "avivideo"
    Case Sequencer
        DeviceName = "Sequencer"
    Case WaveAudio
        DeviceName = "WaveAudio"
    Case MPEGVideo
        DeviceName = "mpegvideo"
    Case MPEGVideo2
        DeviceName = "mpegvideo2"
    Case MPEGVideo4
        DeviceName = "mpegvideo4"
    Case VCR
        DeviceName = "vcr"
    Case VideoDisc
        DeviceName = "videodisc"
    Case Overlay
        DeviceName = "overlay"
    Case REALPLAYER
        DeviceName = "RealPlayer"
    Case OtherDeviceType
        DeviceName = "other"
    Case Else
        DeviceName = "other"
    End Select
