Using the Windows Media Player Component, what is the best way to play several video files in immediate succession? Is there an option that will make the component wait until it's finished? Or should I loop until its playState changes to stopped and then feed it the next file?

Re: Windows Media Player Component -- several videos in succession
If you really want seamless playback, you should be creating a
directshow filter through COM interop (or through unmanaged code, that would
probably be best) and then stream the files one by one through your filter.
It's not easy, but it's the closest way to get seamless transitions from
one video to another.

Thanks -- I've done that in the past, actually, and was looking for a shortcut. Creating a playlist object for the Media Player component may do what I want well enough.If you really want seamless playback, you should be creating a
directshow filter through COM interop (or through unmanaged code, that would
probably be best) and then stream the files one by one through your filter.
