Hi everyone,
I am currently making a program that will serve as a replacement for powerpoint. My program will need to play, in a specific order, 144 videos. The maximum video length is going to be 8 seconds. The reason I am abandoning powerpoint is because it starts to get buggy and occasionally crashes when you try to have a slideshow with that many videos.
This is my first time using the video player in VB so I am still figuring out how it works.
Basically what I need it to do is to automatically play a video, once that video ends it should automatically move on to the next video on the list. For every two videos there is one video that needs to repeat until a user manually hits a next button.
So the general format is:
repeating video
video 1
video 2
repeating video
etc.
I have figured out how to make a video autoplay and play full screen etc. I have also figured out that I can use the following code, with a button, to play the next video when the first video finishes:
I plan on ultimately replacing the URL of the videos with an array for of all the videos. My question is then, where do I put the above code so that it play automatically so that I wouldn't have to hit a button or link it to a timer?
I tried to put it under the event handler for the media player its self but that didn't work. Any ideas?
Also, I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a video loop. I figured out how to set the number of times a video plays but not loop indefinitely until a next button is manually hit. I guess I can always set the play count to something absurd and then hit next when I need to.
Thanks for your help!
