I am very new at c# and visual studio and now i am learning all the tools.
At first i tried adding background sound to my form. I added a wav file trhough resources and i changed it's build action to embedded resources so that i can "play" the .exe file without problems at any other pc.Then i wrote this and it worked.
namespace audio
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
SoundPlayer sp = new SoundPlayer(Properties.Resources.back_sound);
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
sp.Play();
}
}
}
Now i want to play a video file with windows media player.I added it through COM components and i added it to my form.I can make it play any video just by adding the video file at the debug folder and write this.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "video.AVI";
}
But as before i want to add it to my resources so that i can execute the .exe file to aby other pc and by this way, i cant
I tried with ( following the same pattern with the sound file)
AxWindowsMediaPlayer player = new AxWindowsMediaPlayer(Properties.Resources.video);
( and inside the button player.play();)
and
WindowsMediaPlayer player = new WindowsMediaPlayer(Properties.Resources.video);
( and inside the button player.play();)
but no luck.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE:
I tried a lot of things and nothing worked, so i thought that it would better to stream the videos directly from youtube. I went to COM components and i added to my form a SHOCKWAVE FLASH OBJECT. I took the url i wanted, i transformed it ( from www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxx to www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxxxxxx) i added it to the movie section of the flash object. It is working but only on my computer. If i execute the .exe in any other pc it doesnt work. It says that System.IO.FileNotFoundException.
What can i do to make it work?

I´m beginner in C# coding. Especially, when it comes to use Wmp in C#. I work in visual studio 2017, on a project called "station information system" for a small, private railway in our country. The whole functionality of program I´ve done correctly, it works, so now I need to come up with an idea, how to make it playing. My program exports exact names of mp3 files into a hidden listbox. To generate patches I use this code:
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, #"ZVUK\", listBox2.SelectedItem.ToString());
It works, so I came to the other functionality I need from Wmp. When Wmp plays the full song, I need it to change the index in listbox and go to second song, then third and so on. I used this condition:
if (axWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState() = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsMediaEnded)
The part "playState()" is underlined and it shows me an error: "Non-invocable member "axWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState" cannot be used like a method." I tried deleting brackets but it just underlined the whole part "axWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState". Can someone help me?
Thank you very much.
You can use the following code to play the file one by one.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(#"2.wav");
player.PlaySync();
player = new SoundPlayer(#"\1.wav");
player.PlaySync();
}
Recently I have started messing around with the VLC ActiveX plugin trying to play youtube videos in a WindowsFormApplication and I have run into some issues that I couldn't find any mention of or solution to. For simplicity I made a new project to demonstrate my problems:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Player.playlist.play();
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
url = textBox1.Text;
Player.playlist.add(url);
listBox1.Items.Add(url);
}
2 buttons, play and add to playlist.
Problem 1:
Audio cuts out a few seconds before the end of the video.
Problem 2:
I have been unable to get the control to play the next video in the playlist. It just reaches the end of the first video. If I click the play button again, it plays the first video. One thing I thought might be causing it was the AutoPlay property but it's set to true.
Problem 3:
The Player.playlist.next function, like most thing doesn't have a description and does not let me go to the next video in the playlist.
Problem 4:
The AutoLoop property does not work, assuming that it's supposed to get the control to loop a video.
Problems number 2 and 3 make me think that the songs aren't being added to the playlist correctly, but again I was unable to find any way to confirm or solve that issue.
Using VisualStudio 2015, VLC plugin version, as stated in the control properties, 3.0.1 Vetinari.
(edit) after testing I know that the videos are added to the playlist, but still it won't autoplay the next in playlist at the end.
I am trying to make like my own music app. With my dependency service solution in iOS i can hear the mp3 just fine but once I navigate through other pages the file stops. So my question is, how can I make so the file keeps playing even if i navigate through different pages after i "play" it?
This is my code:
My button where I pick the "track".
async void PlayThisSongButton (object s, EventArgs e)
{
DependencyService.Get<IPlayerVoice>().PlayAudioFile("myfilename.mp3");
}
Interface:
public interface IPlayerVoice
{
void PlayAudioFile(string fileName);
}
Dependency service iOS:
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof (VoicePlayer_iOS))]
namespace myProject.iOS
{
public class VoicePlayer_iOS : IPlayerVoice
{
AVAudioPlayer player;
public VoicePlayer_iOS()
{
}
public void PlayAudioFile(string fileName)
{
string sFilePath = NSBundle.MainBundle.PathForResource
(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName), Path.GetExtension(fileName));
var url = NSUrl.FromString(sFilePath);
var _player = AVAudioPlayer.FromUrl(url);
_player.FinishedPlaying += (object sender, AVStatusEventArgs e) =>
{
_player = null;
};
_player.Play();
}
}
}
So with this current code. I click on my button where i start the audiofile. I then navigate to a different page. The audiofile stops. Any idea how i can solve this?
I have never worked with audio in Xamarin Forms but looked into it once.
I think the comment from #yanyankelevich with a GitHub link would still stop the audio when the user navigates away from the page.
As #yanyankelevich suggested though, using a background service might be your best bet. Some links for that (there is a lot of code so I will not duplicate it in this post):
iOS AVAudioPlayer (specifically check out the PlayBackgroundMusic method and the other background related methods below that one)
Android Background Audio Streaming
For a super simple way of doing it (which I do not suggest and have not ever tried), have you tried just running your method within a Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread() which will do a fire and forget?
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() => DependencyService.Get<IPlayerVoice>().PlayAudioFile("myfilename.mp3"));
I would say you need to Use MVVM or MVC and run the music on the main view.
this will allow you to browse the app, while your music still plays.
basically have the Main view and create a grid that you place your "browserView"
in, add all the normal code you would use for the app to the viewmodel of the browser.
then add the code for the music to the viewmodel of the mainview.
Just make sure to add the functionality to pause the music.
I'm trying to embed a youtube video in a winforms application.
When I click I button, a new panel pops up with the video in it and it should play.
However, it doesn't. There's just a black box and nothing happens. Here's what the code looks like for that button:
private void module1_summary_nextpic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
activePanel.Visible = false;
activePanel = module1_content;
module1_content.Size = module1_panel.Size;
activePanel.Visible = true;
doc1.LoadMovie(0, "http://youtu.be/2Vb8dg_un-A");
doc1.Play();
}
any ideas as to why it's not showing/playing? i'm using vs2012.
edit: i've tried this solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17666243/calling-play-on-c-sharp-shockwave-component-doesnt-start-youtube-video-playba?rq=1 with no avail.
There is a problem with your link. Link should be like this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/2Vb8dg_un-A
That will make youtube video embbeded. Also, if you want to make it to autoplay just add &autoplay=1 at the end of the link.
I have a Windows application written in C#/.NET.
How can I play a specific sound when a button is clicked?
You could use:
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(#"c:\mywavfile.wav");
player.Play();
You can use SystemSound, for example, System.Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk.Play();.
For Windows Forms one way is to use the SoundPlayer
private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (var soundPlayer = new SoundPlayer(#"c:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav")) {
soundPlayer.Play(); // can also use soundPlayer.PlaySync()
}
}
MSDN page
This will also work with WPF, but you have other options like using MediaPlayer MSDN page
Additional Information.
This is a bit high-level answer for applications which want to seamlessly fit into the Windows environment. Technical details of playing particular sound were provided in other answers. Besides that, always note these two points:
Use five standard system sounds in typical scenarios, i.e.
Asterisk - play when you want to highlight current event
Question - play with questions (system message box window plays this one)
Exclamation - play with excalamation icon (system message box window plays this one)
Beep (default system sound)
Critical stop ("Hand") - play with error (system message box window plays this one)
Methods of class System.Media.SystemSounds will play them for you.
Implement any other sounds as customizable by your users in Sound control panel
This way users can easily change or remove sounds from your application and you do not need to write any user interface for this – it is already there
Each user profile can override these sounds in own way
How-to:
Create sound profile of your application in the Windows Registry (Hint: no need of programming, just add the keys into installer of your application.)
In your application, read sound file path or DLL resource from your registry keys and play it. (How to play sounds you can see in other answers.)
Code bellow allows to play mp3-files and in-memory wave-files too
player.FileName = "123.mp3";
player.Play();
from http://alvas.net/alvas.audio,samples.aspx#sample6 or
Player pl = new Player();
byte[] arr = File.ReadAllBytes(#"in.wav");
pl.Play(arr);
from http://alvas.net/alvas.audio,samples.aspx#sample7
To play an Audio file in the Windows form using C# let's check simple example as follows :
1.Go Visual Studio(VS-2008/2010/2012) --> File Menu --> click New Project.
2.In the New Project --> click Windows Forms Application --> Give Name and then click OK.
A new "Windows Forms" project will opens.
3.Drag-and-Drop a Button control from the Toolbox to the Windows Form.
4.Double-click the button to create automatically the default Click event handler, and add the following code.
This code displays the File Open dialog box and passes the results to a method named "playSound" that you will create in the next step.
OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog();
dialog.Filter = "Audio Files (.wav)|*.wav";
if(dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string path = dialog.FileName;
playSound(path);
}
5.Add the following method code under the button1_Click event hander.
private void playSound(string path)
{
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
player.SoundLocation = path;
player.Load();
player.Play();
}
6.Now let's run the application just by Pressing the F5 to run the code.
7.Click the button and select an audio file. After the file loads, the sound will play.
I hope this is useful example to beginners...
I think you must firstly add a .wav file to Resources. For example you have sound file named Sound.wav. After you added the Sound.wav file to Resources, you can use this code:
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(Properties.Resources.Sound);
player.Play();
This is another way to play sound.
