I've been unable to get the album art using VC++ (VS2003) and the sample "RemoteSkin" which comes along with the WMPSDK10.

When I try the code below:

CComPtr<IWMPPlayer4> m_spPlayer;
/* Correctly initialized in another place of the program */

CComPtr<IWMPMedia3> l_mediaFile;
m_spPlayer->get_currentMedia(&l_mediaFile);

I got
"error C2664: 'IWMPCore::get_currentMedia' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'IWMPMedia3 ** ' to 'IWMPMedia ** '"

I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried taking the '3' off?

CComPtr<IWMPMedia> l_mediaFile;
m_spPlayer->get_currentMedia(&l_mediaFile);

If you really need an IWMPMedia3 interface you can query one from an IWMPMedia interface at a later time, I bet.

Yes, actually I'm able to get IWMPMedia but the method getItemInfoByType, which I need to get the albumArt path, belongs to IWMPMedia3.

So far I have this piece of code:

CComPtr<IWMPMedia3> l_mediaFile;
CComPtr<IWMPMetadataPicture> albumArt;

if(this->m_spPlayer.p)
{
CComBSTR str;
this->m_spPlayer->get_currentMedia((IWMPMedia**)&l_mediaFile);
if(l_mediaFile.p)
{
BSTR str;
l_mediaFile->getItemInfoByType( L"WM/Picture", NULL, 0,(VARIANT*)&albumArt);

if(albumArt.p)
{
//Never reaching this point
albumArt->get_URL(&str);
}
}
}

Any clue, why I'm not being able to get the handler of the IWMPMetadataPicture interface?

Thanks a lot for any help.
