Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

Drawing on an opened window with the default background color works but changing the window background color to black prevents things like Box() from showing. Is this a Windows thing? I'm using XP Pro SP3, PB 4.51

If OpenWindow(0,0,0,400,300,"Test")
SetWindowColor(0,RGB(0,0,0))

I put together a media player a couple of years ago and this week I decided to work on it a bit more. All playlists of mp3 files always worked before this with MovieStatus() returning 0 when they finished. After compiling with 3.94 MovieStatus() definately appears to be broken. It no longer returns ...

Nope. Here is a link to a slideshow of the AmiWest presentation on the status of AmigaOS4

[quote="naw"]Hi, I got MovieSeek working off a TrackBarGadget()... Problems come in with some MP3s that have very high # of Frames (shown as negative values)...

Thanks for the code. I'll see if I can figure it out and see what all it works on.

Sorry Urland, I misread your original post..
I just found out myself about it only really working with Mpegs..
and MoveStatus() gives really high values when running wmv`s..
...and MovieInfo() crashes your app when used on a wmv !

No problem. Sorry it took so long to reply. Things been kinda ...

I'm aware that the manual states this. I have a "wish" that the commands would work with ...

I've got my media player doing just about everything I want except being able to position whatever's playing with a slider bar. It would be nice if MovieSeek() would do this for at least the popular video and audio formats. The friends and family I've sent my program to say they like it, but without ...

Oops! My mistake entirely. I had NOT tested mpg files with Copy from a command prompt. I tested mp3 files which work fine. The routine posted works fine on mp3's as well. I guess I'll have to try it with all the media formats I can to see what types can be combined into a larger file and playback ...

I did a search of the forums and could not come up with anything on this subject. I'm trying to join multiple media files into one file and then play it back (files of the same type). I've done this successfully by using Copy on a command prompt and it works just fine. Using ReadData() and WriteData ...

My first go at a media player compiled to about 64K. (3.50)

Added some more lines of code and then compiled with 3.62 - 52K.

Compiled same code with 3.70 this evening - 43K!

Thanks!
