How To Implement A Media Player On Webpage Using Visual Studio 2010 And It's 'toolkit'
Oct 18, 2010
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...
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 have vs08 running on window 7 which comes with .net 3.5 SP1. how can I add the new feature that comes with it to my vs08 toolbox. I am assuming sp1 is the same as 3.5 extension.
I have visual studio 2010 ultimate installed on my system. I have downloaded the Ajaxcontrol Toolkit extension 4 for the same and import the dll from tool box. But the tools showing the version 4.1.40412, when I wish to drag drop them to page I could not do that so. I have checked with the default Script manager version and found that it is of version 4.0.0.0
I have VS2010 ultimate on my win7 64bit system installed. I can't get any of the ajax extensions or toolkit controls rendering on my designer in VS2010. When i try to drag a toolkit control onto the designer surface it just creates <p> xml nodes. This is a similar problem that this person had: [URL]
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 installed the AJAX Toolkit (for .NET4) onto a new Toolbox tab in Visual Studio 2010. However, when I try to drag any of these controls onto my Web form in design mode, they won't stick. My mouse pointer changes to 'disabled' (a circle with a diagonal line thru the middle) as soon as it hovers anywhere over my target form. Is there some additional action I need to take to make VS "recognize" these AJAX Toolkit controls?
Let's say I am working on a multiple page web solution and make a small change to one web page. The small change needs to get published but I want to be able to publish it without having to republish the entire site. How do i do that? How do i publish a single page of a multi-page solution in Visual Studio 2010?
I tried to install Visual Studio Prof 2010 trail version in my system, but i got an error saying 'Please remove/uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' to proceed installation. i uninstalled my previous VS2008 software from system and i could not find anything like 'Remove/Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' software in my Add/Remove Programs.
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
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.
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?
