I'm using Media Player objects in my application but when AuotPlay invokes Media Player it uses the old version of MP.
I looked "behind the scenes" and found:
I'm running WinMe and in my C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player folder there are 2 MP's :
1 - WMPLAYER.EXE Microsoft(R) Windows Media Player 7.00.00.1440
2 - MPLAYER2.EXE Windows Media Player 6.4.07.1112
A right-click + About inside my MP window when it's running in AutoPlay showed that it's using version 6.4.07.1112
In my C:\Windows\System folder I have 2 related ActiveX controls:
1 - WMP.OCX Windows Media Player OCX 7.0.0.1440
2 - MSDXM.OCX Windows Media Player 2 ActiveX Control 6.4.7.1112
A thread analysis showed that the Autoplay thread, when running an MP object, is using MSDXM.OCX
Is this correct?
I mean, is it normal to use the OLD MP?
Or is this indicative of some sort of problem on MY system?
You see, the V7 MP has support for playing animated GIF's :-))
whilst V6 MP doesn't support them :-((
