C# Webbrowser using VLCplugin to play online audio stream

Hello all,
I have been trying to get the VLC to play a audio stream from a URL address.
I created a forms application and added a webbroswer from the toolbox. I can navigate no problem but if I goto a link like
http://audio.wgbh.org/otherWaysToListen/wcai.m3u
I get a popup dialog that asked do I want to open this file. If i accept VLC opens and it plays no issue.
However, what I want is it to play without the popup and in my application not with the VLC installed on my computer.
I have seem many things about VLC selecting files but I have not been able to find a reference for pulling a stream with my C# form when browsing with the webbrowser item on my form.
Any help would be thankful.

Hi Badidea,
>> However, what I want is it to play without the popup and in my application not with the VLC installed on my computer.
Do you want to open the url without the popup? If so, I think you could block downloads from the webbrowser control, the link below shows the details:
# How to block downloads in .NET WebBrowser control?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/483262/how-to-block-downloads-in-net-webbrowser-control
But with this way, I am afraid that you could not open the audio. If you want to open the audio without the popup, I think you could automatically download the file, more information you could turn to the link below:
# Suppressing the Save/Open Dialog box in a WebBrowser control
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3538874/suppressing-the-save-open-dialog-box-in-a-webbrowser-control
But if you want to open the audio in your application without the VLC, I am afraid that you could not achieve that. As you know, the audio needs the special player from the URL, I think it is restricted if you want to open the audio without the player.
Sorry for the inconvenient.
Best Regards,
Edward

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Cannot play Real Audio stream in my N82

    Hi there,
    i have this Real Audio link:
    rtsp://stream2.rbb-online.de/encoder/radioeins-live.ra
    It plays fine on my desktop computer. But, when I use the URL in the web browser on my N82, Realplayer opens, tries to establish a connection and thats it... nothing....
    I have correct settings, I connect via WLAN and have opened the UDP ports on my router, so no issues here. I would be grateful for any hint!

    No solution found yet. I believe the radio station's stream is encoded in a real audio format the installed Realplayer does not understand. This also applies to MPEG4 AVC1 encoded video podcast streams that cannot be handled by the Realplayer used on Nokia devices. More and more podcasts use this codec.I hope, Nokia will adress these issues, the Realplayer on the N82 and maybe on other devices as well is dated 2007 and obviously can only handle very basic codecs. Nokia, do something about this! The only way out *may* be the N900 which *might* have much more powerful media players due to its Linux based OS.
    Ich vermute, das ist ein real audio Format, dass der Realplayer nicht beherrscht. Bei Videopodcasts im mpeg4 avc1 Format ist das auch so, den Videopodcast z.B. von "neues" oder "Neues aus der Anstalt"  kann man auf vielen Nokia auch nicht wiedergeben.Keine Ahnung, ob es für Mobilgeräte einen neueren Realplayer gibt, der damit klarkommt, der installierte Realplayer scheint nicht alle Codecs zu unterstützen. Es liegt an Nokia, hier einen besseren Realplayer anzubieten. Ich liebäugele mit dem N900, das hat vielleicht aktuellere Mediensoftware.

  • Can't play NPR audio streams

    I have an Imac g5 (pre intel) Mac, OSX 10.4.5. Don use Quick time much. When I try do play audi segments from the NPR (National Public Radio)website I get a widow that asks open with? the only option it offers is quicktime though I also have real player on my mac. If I go ahead and open the file with QT I get a small player with the number of the npr file but it does not play and I can't get it to play. I can open real player and open the same file and it will play. So I have 3 questions.
    1) is QT able to play these NPR audio files?
    2) if so, what might I need to do to make them play?
    3) if not, how can I get realplayer listed as an option when I am asked if i want to save or open the file with_ ?

    I thought I mentioned that I have Real player installed. I can open the npr smil files from my firefox browser but not to Real Player. The only open with option available is QuickTime which is set as the default. (can I change that?)
    Ihave QT 7.0.4 Itried to find a control panel. I couldn't.( is the QT control panel onl omn later versions, Itried the help progam and zip) The only thing I found was in the QT preferences/advanced/mime settings in which the smil 1 file opition was already unchecked.
    I don't know what to try next. I want to be able to open the smil files into Real player. Either to set that as the default or as a choice.

  • Bug: Quicktime 7.1.6 won't play MPA audio streams

    Since upgrading to 7.1.6, Quicktime will no longer play RTP streams encoded as Mpeg-1 Layer 2 audio. The stream will run, and the info window will show the bitrate, but no sound is heard. The behavior is now the same as Layer 3 (mp3) streams, which is a much older bug. Any chance for a fix?
    Thanks.

    Please ignore this post, it looks like I was completely mistaken, it's working now.

  • Some questions while using JMF play mpeg-1 stream media?

    I use Helix server to provide unicast, and use JMF to play the stream media. But the JMF only play the audio stream transferred by rtp. I have used video palyer�s getVisualComponent() method to get Visual component and added it into the frame. But I get a pink screen. So I think some thing wrong with the video player.
    Who can give me an answer?
    1.     Whether JMF can play mpeg-1 video stream media?( Audio can be heard. Video stream comes to my computer but can�t be displayed.)
    2.     Which method it should use to synchronize video stream and audio stream?
    BTW: In JMF, when the RTSP player�s start() method is invoked, the player creates players by the stream�s track numbers. Video stream and audio stream have different players.

    Try posting your question under the Java Media Framework forum instead.
    You'll get much better responses if you ask the right people !

  • Audio stream stops when I switch to another tab in Safari

    I've got this radio station website which links to a live stream so you can hear the station online. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago, on my Powerbook G4 running 10.4.9. Then my Powerbook died.
    Enter my new MacBook Pro, still running 10.4.9. I try to listen to the same station, but everytime I start the stream, then switch to another tab to browse the internet, the audio stream stops.
    BTW, the audio stream behaves properly when I use Firefox. Is there a reason why Safari can't keep on playing the audio stream when it's not in the active tab? Or have I got a bad configuration?
    Many thanks, as always.

    Nah, forget it; I just remembered what really used to happen (which still happens):
    I used to open a new Safari window (not a new tab), open the radio stream in that new window, then switch to my previous Safari window with all my tabs. Then it works.
    For some reason, I don't have to do this (i.e. open two different windows as opposed to two tabs) in Firefox.
    I really like and prefer Safari to most browsers, but I have to admit, it's rather flaky in a number of ways. This is one of them.

  • Troubles with Multiple Audio Streams.[ca0106]

    Hey everyone.
    I have a few issues on my hands that i just cannot seem to get a strait foward answer.
    First off, i have a Sound Blaster Live! 24bit pci sound card. Sound plays perfect as well as surround sound.
    My issue is that i cannot get mulitiple things to play sound at once. All of the correct modules are loaded just fine and working well. I do believe that when i was using gentoo and could play multiple audio streams, i had alsa built into my kernel.... in arch i dont believe i do.
    Im trying not to build my kernel all over again in arch because i think its something in arch i may be  doing wrong...
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.
    I know for a fact im using ALSA. Since i made that post, ive been doing as much research as possible. I found on ubuntuforums, some dude posted some configs for his ca0106 sound card. I tried them and they take me to the same fork.
    Surround Sound .... or .... Multiple audio streams.
    So the big questions is, is it possible to have both? And would compiling a new kernel with ALSA and support for my card make a difference?
    Thanks!

  • Can I stream videos using airplay to appletv2 and play the audio thru stereo using airport express?

    I have apple tv 2 connected to my HDTV.  I am streaming VEVO videos from iphone to ATV2.  Would like to play the audio through my sony stereo.  Would love to do it wirelessly if possible.    Can this be done?  Would airport express connected to stereo make this possible?  If not what are my options.

    The only input ports I have on the stereo is a dmport, auxillary and headphone jacks.   I really would like to do this wireless.  If, instead of appletv2, I had google tv which VEVO uses could the airport express be used?  Seems like I recall reading somewhere that using 2 of them created a wireless connection for audio.  Is that right?
    Thanks for any advice.

  • Is it possible to play an audio file out of labview (using myDAQ)?

    Hi all,
    I am using a myDAQ (first time). I am trying to play an audio file at a certain time in my VI.
    All the examples I have seen use the audio in and then play out of the audio out port. Is it not possible to simply find the file location and then play it out of the audio out under the given conditions in the VI or even import the sound? I am not trying to play large files or large quantities such as songs. I only want a congratulatory sound when the task is complete (2/3s).
    Any help would be is appreciated (even to say it isn't possible!)
    Cheers 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Why no just play a WAV file? Use Play Sound File.vi as shown here.
