MediaPlayerStream question.

[NJDude]

The instruction: "mp.Release" when can be used?, and if used, what it has to be done to play another stream, I keep getting "illegal errors", I've noticed that if you just "stop" the stream continues downloading.

Any help will be appreciate it.

 

[Erel]

Release should be called after calling Stop. You will need to call Dim and Initialize to play again.

 

[NJDude]

Ok, something like this?

Sub Process_Globals

      Dim m As As MediaPlayerStream

End Sub

....

Sub PlaySomething

...

       m.Stop
       m.Release
       Dim m As As MediaPlayerStream
       m.Initialize("m")

End Sub

 

[Erel]

Yes.

 

[NJDude]

I'll do that, thanks Erel.

I had a user give me this error:
Is this the same error as NJ DUDE?

[Erel]

This is a different error.

Did you create multiple instances of MediaPlayer?
If not then it looks like a bug in this specific device.

 

[vb1992]

Did you create multiple instances of MediaPlayer?

Nope, I do load a new stream by clicking a [NEXT]
button, that calls MediaPLayerStream.Load("url_goes_here)")

I am wondering how MediaPlayerStream handles a timeout?
If the person has a slow connection and it can't get to the
stream and times out...

 

[Erel]

Loading is done in the background. This error happened during initialization.
