Playing video clips

Question

I want to randomly play a video clip “possible different format” on a continues loop. Can I get how long the video will run or when the video has finished so the program knows when to select the next video.

If you are using Windows Media Player control to play the video, you can achieve this. Also you will only be able to play supported format with WMplayer control.

Answer 2

MediaPlayer1.URL = "c:\mediafile.wmv"

MediaPlayer1 = the media player

"C:\mediafile.wmv" is the file to be played

How do I know how long the clip will play for

Or when do I know it's stop playing.

I may be missing something but I've not done anything with video streaming before.

Thanks Peter

Take a look at the WMPlayer duration property http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564790(VS.85).aspx
