Setting rate of avi and asf files using WMP SDK ak268 10/15/2008 2:03:02 PM Hi all, I need to set the rate of multiple windows media players playing avi and asf files. Setting the rate is straightforward but i need to ensure that they are synchronised after the rate has been set. The strategy I've adopted previously is to make a change, call pause, allow everything to render and then call play(). This works fine. However, when you call play the replay rate is automatically set to 1 modifying the calue i have set! Is there an alternative way to do what i need to without running in to the problems i have described above? Cheers, ak268

Not to my knowledge. As I told you before, if you need better control, you need to drop WMP and use DirectShow directly. -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm
