How to Make Songs Play Continuously on Visual Basic

Jan 5th, 2008,02:16 PM

Hi,

I am a quite experiences programmer and started coding a vb media player yesterday. Its basically done apart from i cant get the player to automatically load the next song. I have done a search of this forum but none of the previous responses seem to work.

Heres the code :

Private Sub WMP_StatusChange()

If WMP.playState = wmppsMediaEnded Then
If OptOn.Value = True Then
filecount = File1.ListCount
chosenfile = Int(Rnd * filecount) + 1 'generate random index
File1.Selected(chosenfile) = True
filename = Dir1.Path & "\" & File1.filename
WMP.URL = filename
Else
fileindex = File1.ListIndex
fileindex = fileindex + 1
File1.Selected(fileindex) = True 'plays next index
filename = Dir1.Path & "\" & File1.filename
WMP.URL = filename
End If
End If

End Sub

I have tried different events as well like playstatechange but no luck. The very annoying thing is that an identical piece of code works on a button click.

Any response would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

How about using a Play List?

if you mean a pre-determined list of songs to run through that is not what i am after. Can you see any prob with the code and any suggestion why it will work onclick but not on any media event i have tried so far.

Ok I think what you should be doing is generating a temporary playlist that you can generate from your files in the selected directory. Then assign the new temp playlist as the active list and play it.

.newPlaylist "MyTempPlaylist1", "C:\SomeFolder\TempList1.wpl"
.settings.setMode wmppsPlaying, True

This is how most sites do it with those continuous playing of videos.

had a play but no luck. So it is possible to put all the mp3 files in one directory into a playlist on form load. If so could you maybe post some code to get me started, if you know it that is.

Thanks

Write out your playlist file in this format after you read in the files in your directory.

Playlist format:

Code:

<?wpl version="1.0"?> <smil>     <head>         <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 11.0.6000.6344"/>         <meta name="AverageRating" content="33"/>         <meta name="TotalDuration" content="111"/>         <meta name="ItemCount" content="3"/>         <meta name="ContentPartnerListID"/>         <meta name="ContentPartnerNameType"/>         <meta name="ContentPartnerName"/>         <meta name="Subtitle"/>         <author/>         <title>Test</title>     </head>     <body>         <seq>             <media src="Video1.wmv"/>             <media src="Video2.wmv"/>             <media src="Video3.wmv" />         </seq>     </body> </smil>

The to load/play it:

Code:

Option Explicit  Private Sub Form_Load()     WMP.URL = "C:\Users\UserName\Videos\Test.wpl" End Sub

Seems you need to invoke the play too.

Code:

Option Explicit  Private Sub Form_Load()     On Error GoTo My_Error     WMP.URL = "C:\Users\UserName\Videos\Test.wpl"     WMP.Controls.play     Exit Sub My_Error:     MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation End Sub

This sample media player uses msdxm.ocx (included unless moderator removed it). It uses a Play list

@Sricharan: Welcome to the forums. I have deleted the attachment from your post as it contained an executable file. When ever you upload attachments in vbforums, please ensure that it doesn't have an executable file in it. Also this thread is for Visual Basic 6 so your code actually is of no use
