The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Workaround for WMP.DLL (endofstream event) in Visual Basic 6.0

Asked by myvitagen in Streaming Media Players, VB Objects, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: visual, basic

I am trying to build a VB 6 Program to control movie files being played in Windows Media Player. I need to detect when a movie finishes and when to play the next movie so it rotates automatically.

With MSDXM.OCX the endofstream event works fine. However the movie buffering is slow.
I wish to use WMP.DLL , but the endofstream event doesnt work. Anyone has any workaround? My code sample as follows:

Option Explicit
Const FileLocation = "C:\temp\ADVERTISEMENT\"
Const MaxCount = 3

Private Sub Form_Load()
PlayFile (1)
End Sub

Public Sub PlayFile(ByVal Count As Integer)
'Opens the file selected from the Object
Dim Filename As String
    'Need Checking on Valid File
    Filename = "Ad" & Count & ".wmv"
    MsgBox (WindowsMediaPlayer1.Status)
    WindowsMediaPlayer1.openPlayer (FileLocation & Filename)
    WindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist()
End Sub

Public Sub WindowsMediaPlayer1_EndOfStream(ByVal Result As Long)
       If Count <= MaxCount Then
            Count = Count + 1
            PlayFile (Count)
        Else
            WindowsMediaPlayer1.Close
        End If
End Sub
