Am I allowed to publish an application with a Windows Media Player control in it?

Just like the title says, am I allowed to publish an application with a AxWindowsMediaPlayer control in it?
I don't want to get sued just because of this.
Thanks!

The AxWindowsMediaPlayer is an interop to the Mediaplayer on the computer, it is not a control itself.

Be aware that it is an old way, currently there is also a .Net class.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.mediaplayer(v=vs.110).aspx
You are not allowed to publish the Microsoft media player itself. (But why would you do that)
But why would you be allowed to use a windows form textbox in a program (which is a true windows component) and not a Media player interop if that is given to you as part of the framework or an SDK by Microsoft.

  • How does one use JavaScript with the Windows Media Player Plugin?

    Hi there.
    According to this old [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564570%28v=VS.85%29.aspx MSDN Article] it is possible to control the windows media player plugin using javascript.
    It provides a series of objects off the object that should perform certain funtions, such as play stop and seek.
    It states very clearly in the article that some are not supported; however, none of them seem to be working with the latest version(s?) of Firefox.
    I have Firefox 5 installed currently and have not tested in any other version, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.
    The video does load and will display properly -- the ability to control it through javascript however, does not work.
    i.e.:
    var mplay = document.getElementById('myplayer');
    mplay.controls.play(); // mplay.controls is undefined
    This same code works in Internet Explorer.

    You need to place the URL in a data attribute for Firefox.
    <pre><nowiki>document.write(' <OBJECT id="Player" data="http://87.117.197.189:16229" width="320" height="45" type="application/x-ms-wmp">');
    document.write(' <param name="AudioStream" value="true">');
    document.write(' <param name="Enabled" value="True">');
    document.write(' <param name="ClickToPlay" value="false">');
    document.write(' <param name="BufferingTime" value="5">');
    document.write(' <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">');
    document.write(' <param name="Volume" value="70">');
    document.write(' <param name="autoStart" value="true">');
    document.write(' </OBJECT>');</nowiki></pre>

  • .mp4 video's audio won't play on Firefox, even with Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8

    Title says it all: trying to play any .mp4 video files, or anything that utilizes .mp4 files period, will have the video play just fine, but with absolutely no audio at all. I run a Windows 7 Home Premium, and have tested several sites that utilize .mp4 video files, and have tested it on Internet Explorer, with Explorer showing better results at playing both the audio and video.
    I have checked to see if media.windows-media-foundation.enabled is true in the about:config menu, and restarted Firefox, but to no avail. Any ideas as to what could be the root of this problem?

    Hi Soundless_Cyborg,
    Can you please specify an example url where this is happening, sometimes the video player does not support the codec.
    Maybe you need to set it as default for this file type:
    Open Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set your default programs > Select Windows Media Player from the lists under Programs > Set this program as default > OK

  • Downloading applications (ex. Windows Media Player)

    I've tried to download applications that are said to be made for Mac OS X, but a lot of them I have trouble installing. for example, I have tried to installed Windows Media Player for OS X but after it downloads the file, when I click on it to download it says there is no specific application specified to download the file. This comes up a lot and I don't know what to choose. Any suggestions?

    Please search the discussions before posting, as this question has been covered dozens of times in the past.
    In order to open the WMP download, you need to download and install Stuffit Expander, available free from Stuffit.com

  • Any experience with downloading Windows Media Player on os x 10.4.7?

    Have a number of movies made with windows media player and there is a download for macs. Has anyone done this and are there any problems? thanks

    Microsoft's own Mactopia website notes that WMP-Mac is no longer supported and directs you to Flip4Mac, which works for playing .wmv files in QuickTime. Rather than use the Flip4Mac link om Mactopia, which leads to an older version, try the VersionTracker link or just go directly to the Flip4Mac WMV Products website.

  • Problem with Playsforsure/Windows Media Player/Playli

    [size="2" face="Century">For some reason any of the playlists I sync with WMP for my Zen Xtra, don't show up in MediaSource. Why isn't Creative MediaSource more intergraded with WMP or why isn't there a program to convert any playlist from WMP to CMS so it works on my ZEN Xtra. Would be nice for some more Firmware too

    Well, it seems that people from creative just try to help when you are interested in buying. My Zen Extra got useless after i installed that last firmware and I have done everything that is in my knowledge but it just does not work. I have tried this forum, various people have tried to help me but they are just some other disappointed and frustrated people like you and me. It is really a shame that thanks to?creative I have to put CA$400 in the garbage.
    What a waste!!!
    I just recommend you not to start playing with the new firmware. It's gonna screw your player.
    Sincerely.

  • Satellite A210 - How to use muldimedia buttons with other than Media Player

    Hi,
    is it really not possible to use the Multimedia Buttons (Play, Pause, FF) on the top of my notebook for another application than the Windows Media Player?
    Is there any reason for this? I would like to control Winamp with this buttons.
    It seems quite sensless to restrict the acces to ONE application of HUNDREDS available, an then this one is the Media Player which is not used by the most people.
    I have the Satellite A210 Notbook.
    Can you tell my how to control my winamp with this buttons?
    Greetings from Robert

    Hello Robert
    Unfortunately there is no solution at the moment. If you check this forum you can find several very interesting threads about multimedia buttons and Winamp player. The fact is that some people have found solution for older notebook models running WXP. Winamp has offered plugin that must be installed.
    Now we have new situation. Your notebook runs newest Vista OS and I didnt find any plugin that can help. Problem is that your notebook is designed for Windows Vista and preinstalled OS contains all necessary plugins for running Windows media player as a part of preinstalled operating system.
    It is no kind of restriction. With preinstalled OS you can do what you want and if you can find a way to change it do this. You know very well that there are hundreds of different players on the market. You cannot expect that Toshiba take a time and create a plugins for all of them and satisfy the customers all over the world.

  • Error with Windows Media Player ActiveX control

    When I try to drop in a Windows Media Player control I get an error:
    "Error loading type library/DLL"
    Any ideas?

    If upgrading is out of question. Like a budget stopping it. You could try to this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8002 That will allow you to run XP inside windows 7. It is also other media players like VLC and Apple quick time that have ActiveX controllers. I have tested the Quicktime version and it is quite good.
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • Captivate 6.0.1 published MP4 play with windows media player

    Hi
    Pls help.
    I publish my Software Simulation to MP4 without any error.  Then I play this MP4 with Windows Media Player. I could only hear the audio but the video is all black.  The review works well.  Does anyone have any idea?
    Thank you!
    Rgds, YYY

    Try viewing your MP4 in a different player to see if it works there.  For example, the Adobe Media Player is a free application that you can insatll and use.  It's more likely to be compatible with Adobe-created video than Windows Media Player.
    Your Windows Media Player may need updated codecs to decode and display the Captivate MP4 video.

  • While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this?

    While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this? Reinstalling the application does not clear the error, so I'm assuming the association is somewhere in Firefox.

    Never mind -- I just found it under Tools/Options.../Applications, where I changed the incorrect association of "nlmcp" from Windows Media Player to the correct one, NetLibrary Media Center. Done!

  • How to create an application with a 'Windows' like interface?

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an application with an windows like interface where menu selections need to open bound taskflows in a page/window but i can not get it to work. I did the following
    - i created a page template with a panelStretchLayout
    - added a menuBar with commandMenuItems
    - created a start page based on the template
    - created bound taskflows with page fragments for all menu items
    - placed a dynamic region on the start page which initially shows a taskflow with an empty/blank page fragment
    - change the dynamic region taskflow from every menuitem and added partial triggers on the dynamic region for every menu item
    When i run the application the first empty page fragment is showed correctly but when i select a menu item the correct new page fragment is showed but it keeps showing a loading data .... hint and seems to freeze. So no data is showed while the underlying datacontrols work while using the bc tester.
    Besides this problem i am wondering if i at all am going the right way with this with using a dynamic region? In the final application i will have a total of about 25 menu items over several menus and if they all will be showing in one main dynamic region with partial triggers set to all menu items it may get a bit complex? I saw you can also create a window in a popup which i like even more because it looks like an actual window but this is modal. I would like a bound taskflow to be opened whenever a menu selection is made.
    Any pointers or tips or the solution to not showing data?
    Kind Regards,
    Andre

    Hi Sascha,
    If have not encountered that problem. Are you sure you have a taskflow entry under the executables tag in the page definition of the page which has the dynamic region on it? I have one like this:
    <taskFlow id="dynamicRegion1" taskFlowId="${DynamicRegionBean.dynamicTaskFlowId}" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding"/>
    During the selection of its initial value when it is rendering for the first time it should have the session bean already initialized. My bean looks like this:
    public class DynamicRegion {
    private String taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/startTF.xml#startTF";
    public DynamicRegion() {
    public TaskFlowId getDynamicTaskFlowId() {
    return TaskFlowId.parse(taskFlowId);
    public String feitenTF() {
    taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/feitenTF.xml#feitenTF";
    return taskFlowId;
    public String themasTF() {
    taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/themasTF.xml#themasTF";
    return taskFlowId;
    public String feitCategorienTF() {
    taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/feitCategorienTF.xml#feitCategorienTF";
    return taskFlowId;
    The startTF is the initial taskflow and the other methods are being called from my menu. The dynamic region has the menu items as partial triggers. That is all i did.
    Kind Regards,
    Andre

  • How to publish a Captivate piece to Import as Animation with Media Player Controls

    I want to record a demonstration of an application using
    Captivate 3. Then, I want to publish this as a flash piece. (swf).
    Then, I want to "import as animation" into a WBT template using
    Captivate. The issue I am having is importing the flash piece to
    include the media player controls so the user has control of only
    that flash piece. Usually, we get two swf files one of the main
    recording and another of the skin (media player). I know I am
    missing something either in my publishing options or somewhere
    else.
    Can anyone help?

    Welcome to our community, juando_m
    You might try this. In the first project, click Project >
    Skin... > Borders tab and DE-select the "Show Borders" check
    box. This should coax the playback controls into the main part of
    the movie so there is a single .SWF. You could then have the
    playback controls present in the .SWF you insert into the second
    Captivate.
    Note that doing this will also cause the playback controls to
    cover part of the movie.
    I'm not sure how well the playback controls will work once
    the project gets inside the second. So I wouldn't be too surprised
    if they failed to work. But they might. So it's definitely worth
    trying to see.
    Cheers... Rick

  • IPhone Application With 2 Windows

    I am trying to create an iPhone application with 2 windows. However - I do know how to exactly. Does anyone know where to find a tutorial or example?
    My other window created is always null.

    To make the following example, start a new project with the Window-based App Template and name it TwoWin:
    // TwoWinAppDelegate.h
    @interface TwoWinAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
    UIWindow *window;
    UIWindow *window2;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window2;
    - (IBAction)switchWindow;
    @end
    // TwoWinAppDelegate.m
    #import "TwoWinAppDelegate.h"
    @implementation TwoWinAppDelegate
    @synthesize window;
    @synthesize window2;
    - (IBAction)switchWindow {
    NSLog(@"%s:
    window=%@
    window2=%@", _func_, window, window2);
    if (window.keyWindow) {
    [window2 makeKeyAndVisible];
    window.hidden = YES;
    window2.hidden = NO;
    else {
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    window.hidden = NO;
    window2.hidden = YES;
    NSLog(@" window.keyWindow=%d window2.keyWindow=%d",
    window.keyWindow, window2.keyWindow);
    - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    window2.hidden = YES;
    - (void)dealloc {
    [window2 release];
    [window release];
    [super dealloc];
    @end
    MainWindow.xib looks like this (when the "View Mode" is in the Center position so a two column table is displayed with the view hierarchy as a tree of small icons to the left):
    File's Owner -- UIApplication
    First Responder -- UIResponder
    Two Win App Delegate -- TwoWinAppDelegate
    Window -- UIWindow
    ......View -- UIView
    ............Rounded Rect Button (Switch1) -- UIButton
    Window2 -- UIWindow
    ......View2 -- UIView
    ............Rounded Rect Button (Switch2) -- UIButton
    The XIB connections:
    File's Owner:
    ......'delegate' outlet to App Delegate
    App Delegate:
    ......'window' outlet to Window
    ......'window2' outlet to Window2
    Rounded Rect Button (Switch1):
    ......'Touch Up Inside' to App Delegate: switchWindow
    Rounded Rect Button (Switch2):
    ......'Touch Up Inside' to App Delegate: switchWindow
    The View1 and View2 frames are manually set to full-screen less status bar since no view controllers are used in this example. E.g., for iPhone, set these frames to (0, 20, 320, 460) in the Size Inspector. It's also helpful to set View1 and View2 to different background colors in the Attributes Inspector.

    I tried posting a question but it did not allow me so I am going to try posting it here. I need some help but not sure where to go to post the questions or what e-mail address I can use to e-mail the appropiate place to get help so if you can help me out that would be great.
    Problem 1. I won a ITunes gift card recently and set up a account and downloaded some music. Now the I just learned the file type cannot be played through Realplayer or Windows Media Player that are on my desktop nor can the tracks be put on to my MP3 player. I have deauthorized my computer and still no luck. Can anyone tell me if there is anything I can do so I can do what I mentioned above? If so what?
    Problem 2 - If there is no way to covert the music who do I get contact and how to go about getting a refund for the tracks purchased.
    Problem 3 - Sorta linked with #2 Once I get my refund applied to my account is there away for me to cancel my account and or transfer it to a person that does have a IPOD or is able to play Itumes files on their desktop?

  • Problems with Windows Media Player for OSX and IMAC G5 Intel Duo

    I was able to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac but when I surf on the net and I click on the WMP files, instead of opening automatically, it downloads the content and only then lets me open it.
    Also, with live streaming, when I click for the window to open it will say that: "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?".
    Except that I already downladed WMP... It worked fine with the PowerPc G5 so it must be the Intel chip. Please help.

    Imac G5 20" INtel Duo 2GHZ   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Microsoft has abandoned WMP for the Mac and has ceased development. You may wish to consider and alternative!
    WMP 9 for Mac is not a Universal binary, so it does not run natively on Intel iMacs. It runs using Rosetta. If the WMP plugin is installed in HD/Library/Internet Plugins/ for it to run usable by Safari you must be using Safari with Rosetta.
    I have two versions of Safari, Safari - Uni & Safari - Rose, Uni runs natively and Rose uses Rosetta. To make a Rose version;
    1. Right-click Safari and choose Duplicate
    2. Rename the copy whatever you like to tell it from the other; ex: Safari - Rose
    3. Right-click Safari - Rose and choose Get Info
    4. In the top pane of the Info window check the box Run using Rosetta.
    You need to use Safari -Rose for websites with WMP multimedia material to get it to play in the browser.
    There are also WMP replacements that you can use with Safari such as Flip4Mac and others. Here is a Discussion that covers many of the alternatives;
