I am also having alot of trouble with the Movieplayer in 2007 (WinXP
IDE).
I am trying to convert one of my applications from rb5.5.5 that uses
quicktime extensively and nothing is working correctly. I can't even
get my program to run. It seems that if my player type is set to
quicktime everything takes forever.
Can anyone think what the problem may be with this code:
Start with blank project.
Add a movieplayer named movieplayer1
Sets its Index to 0
Set is player type to quicktime
Put the following code in the open event of the window...
dim i as Integer
dim mp as MoviePlayer1
dim t, tt as integer
t = ticks
For i = 1 to 99
mp = new MoviePlayer1
next
tt=ticks
MsgBox str(tt-t)
On RB2007r1 this takes 2541 ticks (42.35 seconds) on my 2.16Ghz Core
Duo XP machine.
On RB 5.5.5 this takes 0002 ticks (00.03 seconds) on my 2.16Ghz Core
Duo XP machine.
Change the type to Windows Media and it takes 160 ticks (2.66 seconds).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Drew

Can anyone direct me to a good description of how to program the
movieplayer in a windows environment. My app, written in rb2005, used
to work OK but with the upgrade to rb2007, now it misbehaves under
windows. From what I can gather, it is because I need to use the
OLEObject control but there is not much info available that I can
find. Some examples on how to control the movie would also be
helpful.
This definitely can do with expansion in the RB documentation.

The MoviePlayer control is "supposed" to function as it did in
RB2005, so there should not be any need to do any OLE business.
Having said that, I'm finding some issues with going to RB2007 as
well. From what I see so far, there is a problem with setting the
MoviePlayer's position in code in Windows builds (Mac is fine). I
still need to confirm this by writing a simple application in RB
without any 3rd party plugins. I will do this in short order and
file a bug report if necessary. This is a serious issue for me and
has caused me to temporarily revert back to RB2006 for Windows
builds until this issue is resolved.
