How to trigger an event on reaching specific media position? wk <saurabh9[ at ]gmail.com> 5/3/2007 3:26:43 AM Hi, I need to create a plugin for stand alone windows media player 10 or 11(preferably 11). I need to reposition the movie current position, once it reaches say time position 01:28:32, so is there an effecient way for the player sdk to raise an even when this time is reached, so that I can do a seek to the new position? The video might be AVI or MPG. Please help. Please note I do not need to do this for an embedded player control.

You can physically add a marker to the media file (using an SDK downloadable from Microsoft), then add a handler for the marker events in your code. Or you can do what I do and imbed WMP in my application and have a separate service timer kick off every 500ms to check the current positon of the player every half second. Unfortunately both ways are "klugy" unless/until WMP has some sort of "marker collection" that could be populated at run time with your milestones. Currently there is no way to on-the-fly add markers on a "per play" basis, (that I know of), you have to physically modify the media file itself and imbed the markers (arghhhhh). (Maybe if I'm not the only one asking Microsoft to add a markers collection to the interface they will do it in the next version)

Markers do not cause any event to be fired, they are just jump targets. What you want are scripts (ASF scripts strings, not actual scripting programs). -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm

(SDK 9/10) when reached just :pause() it, set new oPlayer:Controls:CurrentPosition() and :play() again. greetings by OHR Jimmy
