Version 6.1 
Special thanks to "Hans de Vries"
For Notice me about bug when playing rmi files in some
computers (it was repaired).
Version 6.0
For request Members planet-source-code
I add four Functions:
1-Two Functions to deal with
volume audio for every channel(left or right) or the the
both:
one to get volume for every channel
audio and the another to set volume for every channel or
the both.
NOTE: Contolling with volume for
every Multimedia file not for all Multimedia files(not
like Mixer windows).
2-Two Functions to deal with
Rate playing Multimedia file (one to increase speed
playing or decrease speed playing and the another to get
current Rate).
NOTE: Contolling with Rate for every
Multimedia file not for all Multimedia files.
Via this version you can watch a
movie file and also playing mp3 file at the same time and
decrease the volume for mp3 in one channel or the both.
See the screenshot.
Good luke.
Version 5.0
1-In this version there were
common errors in Windows 2000 was repaired (now the
code useful for win2000).
2-I added Function for
Channels Audio Control (see the screenshot).
What
the Advantages
for this Update?
you can here play on Left channel
audio file and on right channel another audio file at the
same time Or:
play the file two times at the same
time one on the left and the another on the right. 
Click on buttons "Demo" to
see some effect by this way.
Note: you must Extract all files
from the zip.
Good luke.
(Update IIII)
there
were some common errors in Windows NT4 was repaired (Special
thanks to Alex for notice me)
and
I added function for request memebers to get the actual
size and current size.
Note
the update just in source "MultiMedia Contoller"
(Update III)
I
added the source code which sent to MSDN library and it
Update for previous version from "Pure API".
What
the Advantages for this Update?
It can open more than one Multimedia
file at the same time and play it .
e.g.
(you can play more than one mp3 or
movie at the same time).
Important note: You can play a lot
files at same time if it from type "MPEGVideo"
this mean just the following types you can play it
altogther :
qt,mov,
dat,snd, mpg, mpa, mpv, enc, m1v, mp2,mp3, mpe, mpeg, mpm au,snd, aif, aiff,
aifc,wav,,etc.
and the
following types can not play altogether :
mid,rmi,avi.
becsause the sound card will be busy.
anyway
most peoples using mpg,dat,mov,etc for the movie and mp3,mp2,mp1,wav,etc
for the audio and if you have movie (avi) you can convert
it to mpg ,dat ,mov or any other mpegs types and play it
altogther.
if you
wanna the ways to convert avi to mpegs types please
contact to me at : a_ahdal@yahoo.com
this will benefit you if you wanna
make some simple games,,etc.
see the picture in this page to show
the program.
(UPDATE II)
I
added two Functions one to Get Frames per Second
and
the Another to let you know if the File Multimedia at the
End (this benefit you if you wanna play a list of
Multimedia Files).
(UPDATE I)
You can by this update to
open any file even have spaces.(Special Thanks to Janet)
And I added two Functions to
repair any problem will met you if you used Xing Mpeg
Drivers.

 




You can here Play all MultiMeida Files by
Pure API




 

in first if you wanna playing these types:

qt , mov, dat,snd, mpg, mpa, mpv, enc, m1v, mp2,mp3, mpe,
mpeg, mpm

au , snd, aif, aiff, aifc,wav.

The Secret is:

You Must use when you write Command To MCI by Function

mciSendString write like this :

open c:\myfile type MpegVideo .......etc

note: we written "MpegVideo" as a type

and we will written

open c:\myfile type AviVideo .......etc

if we wanna opening avi files

I got this info "MPEGVideo"
for how you can plays MPEGs types from my experinace when

I openned file system.ini and I saw the section of MCI
like this:
 



 

extensions
Type
extensions
Type
 
 

snd
MPEGVideo
Mid
Sequencer
 
 

qt
MPEGVideo
rmi

MPEGVideo
 
 

dat
MPEGVideo
wav
waveaudio
 
 

mpg
MPEGVideo
avi

AVIVideo
 
 

mpeg
MPEGVideo
cda
CDAudio
 
 

mpe
MPEGVideo
aif

MPEGVideo
 
 

mpa
MPEGVideo
aiff
MPEGVideo
 
 

mp2
MPEGVideo
aifc
MPEGVideo
 
 

mov
MPEGVideo
m1v
MPEGVideo
 
 

au
MPEGVideo
vob (DVD)
MPEGVideo
 



 

this mean if you wanna open mpg or
dat file you will choose

type "MpegVideo"

and if you wanna open avi Files you will choose type
"AviVideo"

And Remember Dealing with type "MpegVideo" like
dealing with type

"AviVedio"

You can also found this info I downloaded it in a
Complete program in planet source in the past

Under Name "MPEG
Viewer"
to playing video in any place you want for e.g. in your
Desktop.

anyway maybe you will say now I wanna a standard commands
in a module or dll to dealing with

"MpegVideo" and other types like :



 

1-Open most
multimmedia files

2-Playing it
3-Pause it
4- Stop it
5-Resume it
6-Close it
7-Get Current position(current
frame)
8-Get current time
9-Get Percent of playing
file
10-make it auto Repeat
11-Get Total frames
12- Get Total Time
13-Get the Status of file if
it "playing or stopped or paused"
14-Get actual size (new).
15-Get current size (new).
16-Resize the movie.
17-Get number frames per
second
18-let you know if
multimedia at the end now.
19-Get current Rate.(new)
20-increase or decrease rate
playing.(new)
21-Get current volume for
every channel (left or right) or the both.(new)
22-Set volume for every
channel (left or right) or the both.(new)
23- turn off or turn on
every channel or the both.(new)

 

You have three ways to doing this:

1-if you are using VB and wanna uses
module in your code and calling the functions from it (this
option is the best for you).the exe are "Multimedia
Controller.exe" and "Pure API.exe"
2-if you are using VB and wanna uses
library dll made by C++ to calling functions the exe is
"calldll.exe".



3-if you are using VC++ and wanna
calling functions from dll or copy and paste the functons
in your projects.(well option for who using VC++)
Note there are Update III which sent
to MSDN library under name "Multimedia Controller"



Please Download the code and read it
carefully
Note:
I downloaded the source of the dll.
if
you are wanna using the module you can calling the
functions from the Module without using the dll.

if you are advanced you can read the dll and the module
or if you are Beginner just copy and
paste the module in your project and just
know how you can calling the functions(very easy for all
levels Advanced -Intermediate-Beginner).

Note : I written the DLL in C++ and
the Module in Visual basic for Planet-Source Specially
and for standard use and you can Develop it,but please
send to me a copy:).

 

Note all Multimedia extensions you can play
it
You have in Module and dll a standard
Functions for all users to Do what you want in Multimedia(commands
very easy, any one can use it)
I Think You will never use any controls for
Multimedia If you Downloaded This Code.



I think you
while reading the source you will forget vote me , don't forget=:)Okay?.


Enjoy




 

Nice
Example
Download
Sample Movie
Run the
program and Select the Movie which you downloaded it 
1-Click on
button "open" and 
2-write in
textbox "from" Value "20"
3-write in
textbox "to" Value "70"
4-Click on
button "play"
5-Set check
auto repeat true
This Example
will let the movie played from frame number 20 to frame
number 70
Listen the
Songer will say "Think in love" (just). :).
if you want
to play the file from beginning to end remove any value
from testbox "from"
and textbox
"to" .Enjoy :)
