Testing WMP |
|
|
- is there a way to test that a track has finished playing in an
embedded WM Player?
- If yes, is there a way to do a redirect to a new URL?
My goal is to make my own web-based media player that displays a
dynamic list of tracks using asp. Click on a track and it highlights
the current track in the list and then plays the track in the embedded
Windows Media Player in a separate HTML frame. This I've done. What I
want to do now is get the next track to play automatically after the
current one is finished. The way I'm looking to do this is, when the
track finishes a new URL is launched. The new URL contains the next
track ID.
- track 1 finishes
- redirect to myplayer.asp?track=2 initiated
- track 1 plays
- track 2 finishes
- redirect to myplayer.asp?track=3 initiated
I'm developing in asp with vbscript and can run client-side javascript.
Thanks in advance
~ Lauren

Would a more natural way be to use an ASX playlist to play the next
track after the first one finishes ? Or are you trying to display some
album artwork or track-related ads which change for each page having
the embedded player ?

[Guess u meant track 2 plays there ?]

I'll post some client side code if we can establish you *need* to
refresh the page after track completion ;-)

Using an ASX playlist won't work for me. The list of tracks are called
dynamically from a database. In order for me to get the next track I
need to do a redirect to a new URL with a new track ID.

Yes, sorry. Track 2 plays.
Thank you,

OK I'm not quite getting this - is it possible to explain more clearly
how your scheme works - that is, what it is that determines which
track is loaded next ? Is it random ? Can the randomness be
pre-determined and pulldown the list of tracks to play ?
For example, you could be using a fork - so track 1 plays followed by
a random selection of tracks 2-4, or track 1 could play then track 2
if the player is stopped by the user at 1 minute, and track 3 if it's
stopped at 2 minutes in.
See what I mean, there are a lot of possibilities ?

Try .wpl or .m3u there's so many types of playlist formats that wmp can
support... that's how i get around... |
