Sound thats loops

Hi,

I would like a mp3 to play when the page loads and then to continue looping. I am not quite sure how to go about doing this, does anyone have an ideas for me or an URL that I can check it out at?

Thanks

Re: Sound thats loops

as i remember there is a media ended event

there you can repostion to start and call play()

Hi Hannes,

Thanks for your reply to this post. Maybe I jumped the gun slightly, I have not got the sound working yet. Looping it would be the next step in the process. I have added the media element to my canvas, then in the C# file I have tried to reference it in the same way that I would a storyboard but it does not work. Is this the correct way or should I be trying this another way?

void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

track_mp3.Play();

}

Thanks

Re: Sound thats loops

Here you go.

By default, the media that is defined by the Source property plays immediately after the MediaElement object has loaded. To suppress the media from starting automatically, set the AutoPlay property to false or in your case set it to true.

Hi Vyfster,

To make the video display automatically, we need to set its AutoPlay to "Ture".

To make it loop, we need to replay the video on MediaEnded event. For example,

      private void PlayMedia(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            media.Stop();
            media.Play();
        }

Best regards,

Jonathan

Any release date for a silverlight patch to correct the short sound problem by the way ?

Re: Sound thats loops

Hi Jonathan,

I went to sleep on this post and have only picked it upi gain now. I have managed to get the media element playing, it was a little tricky at first but I understand how it is done now. It is added from the asset library and then dragged and dropped onto the stage. I was looking for an actual media element. The second part of your post has me confused though. Where is it added into the code behind file? I keep on getting build error's so I must be adding it incorrectly.

/* where in the code behind file does this code get added? */

private void PlayMedia(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            media.Stop();
            media.Play();
        }

Thanks for your input so far.

Re: Re: Sound thats loops

Hook a "Completed" handle to your media element with

this.BikiniGirls.MediaEnded += new RoutedEventHandler(BikiniGirls_MediaEnded);

^ do that somewhere in initialization-- and when the girls stop dancing on the trampoline it will automagically call this function

private void BikiniGirls_MediaEnded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Bikinigirls.stop();
BikiniGirls.Position = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0);
Bikinigirls.Play();
}

note: this only will work for dancing bikini girls, i've never tested it with music.

Re: Re: Re: Sound thats loops

LOL I just noticed that Jonathan did the same thing. But he left out the Position which I've always had to set when looking at bikinigirls. So I'm more specialer. I love you Jonathan.

Seriously though, set the Position to 0 and then play it and it will work.

Re: Sound thats loops

Thanks for all the help guys.

This is what finally worked. I just left off the track_mp3.Stop(); and it now loops. Previously it played once and then stopped.

void track_mp3_MediaEnded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

track_mp3.Play();

track_mp3.Position = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0);

}
