I have an ASP.NET web application where a Microsoft Media Player object on the page (in IE) is issuing a request for an .aspx web page. In the page I use TransmitFile to send back the audio file. This works fine most of the time.
But, in some cases (a combination of IE version and a specific client, at least from what I can see) there is a second request issued, with the exact same URL. The only difference I can see between the first and second request is the user-agent value. The first request will have User-Agent: Windows-Media-Player/9.00.00.4508 and the second one will have User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
This second request is causing the audio file to be sent a second time over the net, which is wasteful. This is what I'm trying to avoid. I had a related question here, but in this case there is no Range request. It is just the same exact request again (same headers, except for the user-agent).
I was trying to suppress the second response (based on the user-agent in the header) with all kind of HTTP status responses (304, 404, 500 etc.) This works for some clients, some of the time, but breaks occasionally (the Media Player will just not play the audio, even though Fiddler will show it was transfered on the first request).
I would like to "convince" the browser to avoid the second request, if possible. As a second option I would like to find a response to the second request that will not break the playback, but avoid sending the whole audio buffer.
i have the following bit of code... is there a way to embed a media player into a webpage (such as windows media player) and play a file on it without actually having to have windows media player installed?
so to clarify, can i play a windows media player in a webpage without having it installed? because at the moment the follwing bit of code only plays my files asfter i installed windows media player on my PC.
I am using the media player and real player video controls they work fine in ie. How can I check they are installed in all main browsers like firefox and chrome and ie if not installed ?.
I have an ASP .NET 2.0 (4.0 is an option) page that I've embedded the Windows Media Player to using OBJECT tags.
The player is connecting to a Windows Media Services publishing point on the Web server. This is on a 2008 server.
Everything works great, see it here: [URL]
If I understand correctly, the information the player is showing in its status bar comes from the ID3 tags of the current track. Continuing on this line of thought, the ID3 information must be coming to the player from the media server. Correct?
What I want to do is collect and use the information about the track that's current being played. I'd like to be able to create a custom display for the current track information. I'd also like to put a custom value in the track information to look up additional information about the artist/track from a database.
i am using Media Player in my site its working fine..but if i want to use themes where should i get those thems(professional xaml.,,et.,) ..is it possible to download..if yes provide the link
My application plays movies from specific positions, so even a position mentioned in milliseconds matters for me. I'm assigning a position to a media element but it's showing the wrong frame. I don't know why media player is not playing from the position that I'm giving. Here is some sample code:
TimeSpan oTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(16800200); // This shows 04:40:00.2000000 MediaPlayer.Position = oTimeSpan; // But after assigning, value is 04:40:00.1990000
First of all, I have done a few C# applications, but are new to C# asp.net web applications.
What I am trying to receive is a simple Media player control on an aspx page. And furthermore a button (not the button on the media player control), that starts the media player with a videostream url. Thats all!
I can easily achieve this in an ordinary c# application form, by importing:
AxInterop.WMPLib.dll, Interop.WMPLib.dll and wmp.dll references in the project. Now i am able to choose a "Windows media player" control in the toolbox, which i can drag into my form. Nice and easy.
But when i import these dll´s in my ASP.NET Web application, I cannot see the media player control in the toolbox. Ive tried to right-click the toolbox, and click "Choose items", and see that 'Windows media player' is checked under the COM components tab. But i still cannot see the control in the toolbox. Only in an ordinary c# application form.
The WMP is loaded immediately but the wmv file need more time. How I can inform the visitor that the video is loading may be using a word "Wait..." or other?

I am creating an ASP.NET MVC Web application. Among the options are a series of LinkButtons that refer to videos. I want the user to be able to click on the LinkButton and have the video play in MediaPlayer. I do not use Silverlight in the application, because I don't want the user to have to have Silverlight installed in order for it to work.
The "fly in the ointment" for this is that I DON'T want Media Player to remain open if they are doing other things. I want Media Player to open ONLY if they click on the LinkButton.
I thought about doing this by opening a separate Media Player window, but I had two problems with that:
- how can I make the separate MediaPlayer view open?
- how can I pass the URL of the video to MediaPlayer if it's a separate view?
i want to embed avi video ,but i don't like the window media player. I like the one like cnn or youtube where it doesn't show all button (play, previous, next...).
I'm working on an Intranet Web site that will include an audio playback feature. I'm approaching this with an embedded Windows Media Player (class ID: 6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6). The problem I have is that if I set an missing or inaccesible as the URL I can't find a way to determine from Javascript that it failed to play. It appears the player starts to play and immediatly stops. How do I detect a File Not Found or other error?

I'm trying to implement a media player on my web page using Visual Studio 2010 and it's 'toolkit'.
In the toolbox i right click on general->Choose Item->Com Components and select Windows Media player.
But nothing is happening.
If I right click on the general tab and press 'Show All' both the windows media player accor but the icon are like 'invisible' and you can't drag it into the design window.
A second question, if I want to use a different media player, how does I do that? I.e. VLC...
