Windows Media Player 9 problem

[GunSite]

I trying to get WMP 9 to fire it's EndOfStream event and then play another video but it will not fire. Anyone please help!

Here is my code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "e:\mpegav\avseq09.dat"
End Sub

Private Sub WindowsMediaPlayer1_EndOfStream(ByVal Result As Long)
WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "e:\mpegav\avseq10.dat"
End Sub

A workaround: you could try monitoring the length played and see if it equals the total time...

Never needed to use WMP in a program, so I'm not sure what might cause it (you could always google it)

Use it on click event or something

If WindowsMediaPlayer1.playstate = wmppstopped then

WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL="e:\mpegav\avseq10.dat"
WindowsMediaPlayer.Controls.Play

End If

The windows media player 9 control is the worst thing ever. Very few events fire when they should and its the biggest bodge job on the planet.

You have to monitor the stream length until it reaches the end and then trigger the net one. Your best bet is not to use WMP 9 and go back one level to 7 (or 8 operating system dependant)

7 and 8 should run WMP9 files i beleive given the right decoding updates

Good Luck

P.s I wouldnt recommend you trust any events fired unless you really have to
