Audax321 Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 Hello, I am making an application that needs to stream files from a website using ASX and ASF. So I thought to use WMP9 in VB.NET to open the files. Internet Explorer brings up a Open, Save, Cancel window when the user clicks on a link to the ASX file. But the window is displaying the path to an ASF file. When you click open my program launches and successfully opens the asf file, but WMP can't play the ASF file.... Any ideas why? I'm guessing it may need the ASX file instead, by IE seems to skip it and just go straight to download the ASF file....... P.S. The website I am using to test it is: http://windowsmedia.com/radiotuner/MyRadio.asp Thanks for any help :) Quote
vsnt Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 these files are for streaming media so unless they are run localy they will be downloaded. You need to put a media player on the page and tell the media player control to play the file. Quote
