Okay..
Is it possible to display the Artist/Music name with the class Audio of the namespace AudioVideoPlayback Actually.. I'm afraid it's not possible, coz I've seen it's properties at msdn and there isn't the Author or something similar to that on this class, while there is a Author Property on the class Video of the same namespace.. so.. how can I get these information of the mp3 file is there any meta-data on the mp3 files I can retreive somehow to display during the game
Thanks,
AudioVideoPlayback

Yes, it probably is. I have a book on Managed DX, from one of the guys on the team. It basically says 'we didn't do all of the audiovideo stuff, and what you get is all there will be, we won't update it'. So, it was obviously not their focus at all, perhaps in part because we have the WMP library to use instead.

so.. basicly it's better to use WMP lib to this kind of thing then
About the namespace AudioVideoPlayer, yeah, seems to be really incomplete.. just to make some noise actually.. doesn't seem to be what Im looking for... but thanks.. Im gonna search stuff about this windows media player library which seems to be exactly what im looking for..

My suspicion is that the DX team knew of the upcoming fate, and hence there was little point implementing a full wrapper.
There are a couple of folk implementing their own wrappers which may be of use to you.

AudioVideoPlayback wraps what used to be DirectShow. DirectShow has not been part of DirectX since April and hadn't been touched before then.

DirectShow < xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I'm not sure where the correct place to ask question onthe platform SDK is, from what I can make out there have been no upgrades to this component since it moved and I can't find any future plans either.

Thanks for this info, I did not know this. However, it does not wrap all of DirectShow, it only wraps a small part, and as I said, it does it badly, and is very buggy.

I wrote a video jukebox program, and I store ID3 tag info in my own database, and I used the Windows Media Player library both for playing files, and getting ID3 tag info. I found the AudioVideoPlayback namespace to be buggy, incomplete and close to useless. I believe it was created solely to allow game developers to load a video and attach it to a 3D texture.
