Audio but no Video

[Helen]

I'm having a weird problem with RadMediaPlayer.

My code is written so that a user can select a video file from the local file system. Then it attempts to play the video thus:

private

FileInfo m_fi;
private string m_fileName;
...

 

OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog();

 

dlg.Filter =

"Media WMV|*.wmv";

 

 

if (dlg.ShowDialog() == true)  
{

 

    m_fi = dlg.File;

    m_fileName = m_fi.Name;   

 

try 
     { 
         MyPlayer.MediaElement.SetSource(m_fi.OpenRead());
        MyPlayer.MediaElement.Play(); 
    }
    catch (Exception ex)

    {

MessageBox.Show("Error playing video: " + ex.Message);
    }
}

The video plays, but I only receive the audio. I know that there is a real video there, because I have played it using other code (a video player project from codeplex).

Any suggestions?

BTW, is there some trick to avoid a bunch of extra lines when posting code snippets?

thx

Helen

Hi Helen,

Sorry for the delayed reply!

The MediaPlayer needs a list of RadMediaItems to play videos correctly (changing state, displaying descriptions, chapters, etc). Unfortunately the RadMediaItem does not offer a way set the local file as a source.

This task has been logged for a future version of the MediaPlayer but unfortunately currently I cannot offer a solution or workaround.

You can use the "Format Code Block" tool of the editor when posting in the forum (the button looks like an orange paint brush).

Thank you for bringing our attention to this!

All the best,
