How to play any media format using C#
Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 1:51 am
Hi
In .net most of the time you use SoundPlayer class to play media content. But what if you want to play a mp3 file or video file?? This code shows how to play any media format using C#. I’m using a library called “Quatrz.dll”. This is a very powerful library which is powered by Direct Show. You can find this library in C:\Windows\System32 directory. All you have to do is open up the VS and create a new project. In the solution explorer, right click on the Reference-> Add Reference -> Go to “Browse” tab and give the Quatrz.dll path. (in C:\Windows\System32\ Quatrz.dll ).
I have commented the code. Guys please note that I couldn’t test this thoroughly. So this may have bugs.
Hope this will help you
