Size of media item Justin Bozalina 7/6/2007 5:00:00 PM Hi, I'm new to WMP SDK. I've been working on this problem for a week or so and haven't been able to come up with a solution. I have a WMP window in my MFC application that I'm popping up to play an AVI selected in a file dialog. Playing the file works fine, but I'm trying to size the window correctly based on the size of the AVI. I'm doing this by putting the URL of my file, then getting the current media item. However, the get_imageSourceHeight/Width functions always return zero as their sizes. Alternatively, is there a way to "autosize" the WMP window. I've looked for this functionality in the documentation and haven't been able to find anything about it. My code: if(m_spWMPPlayer) hr = m_spWMPPlayer->put_URL(bstrURL); if(m_spWMPPlayer2) m_spWMPPlayer2->put_stretchToFit(TRUE); IWMPMedia* pMedia = NULL; long width, height; m_pWMPCore3->get_currentMedia(&pMedia); pMedia->get_imageSourceHeight(&height); //height returns = 0 pMedia->get_imageSourceWidth(&width); //width returns = 0 Thanks for any help!

Re: Size of media item Justin Bozalina 7/6/2007 6:22:01 PM Hey Jimmy. I changed the code to try this: IWMPControls* pControl = NULL; IWMPMedia* pMedia = NULL; if(m_spWMPPlayer) { m_spWMPPlayer->put_URL(bstrURL); m_spWMPPlayer->put_stretchToFit(TRUE); } m_pWMPCore->get_controls(&pControl); pControl->play(); long width, height; m_pWMPCore->get_currentMedia(&pMedia); pMedia->get_imageSourceHeight(&height); pMedia->get_imageSourceWidth(&width); But it still returns zero for the width and height. The functions aren't failing, they're just not returning the right values.
