Cannot play local WMV file with ExpressionMediaPlayer

09-12-2009 7:40 PM |

Trying to play an item in the 'new' ExpressionMediaPlayer control and getting nowhere fast...

XAML:

namespace:

xmlns:ExpressionMediaPlayer="clr-namespace:ExpressionMediaPlayer;assembly=MediaPlayer"

control markup:

<ExpressionMediaPlayer:MediaPlayer x:Name="ctrlExpressionMedia1" Margin="8" Height="600" Width="800" />

try {

ExpressionMediaPlayer.PlaylistItem playItem = new ExpressionMediaPlayer.PlaylistItem();Uri videoSource = new Uri("SuperSpeedway.wmv", UriKind.Relative);

playItem.MediaSource = videoSource;

ctrlExpressionMedia1.Playlist.Items.Add(playItem);

ctrlExpressionMedia1.Play();

}

catch {

} 

Error:

Could not open media file "http://localhost:2673/SuperSpeedway.wmv AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR

The WMV file is a High-def video that plays just fine in my local instance of Windows Media Player (v11) on Win XP SP3

The video is located in the ClientBin folder of the Visual Studio 2008 Web Project

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone have a working code sample that uses this control succesfully?

Thanks!
