I am running into an issue attempting to play a WMV file across the
network while impersonating. I have WMV files that I can only access
while impersonating, so I do the impersonation and can see the file
(without impersonation, the framework returns that the file does not
exist), but when I try to load the file into my Windows Media Player
control (embedded in a VB.Net WinForms app), the player window is just
plain black. No errors are thrown, but it just sits there not playing.
I have given it sufficient time to play the file thinking that it
could be just an issue with network speed, but it does not actually
play. At one point, all domain users were able to access this folder,
and the files played fine then, but a requirement has changed and
security must be tightened, so this is no longer an option. I tried
using DirectShow to render the file from within code to a plain panel
control, but DirectShow at least throws an error that it cannot play
the file while using DirectShow. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
PS - If there is a better group that this should be posted to, just
let me know and I will post it there. Since the issue crosses some
technology lines, I put it in general. I definitely did not mean any
offense by it - just trying to find some help.
