I need instruction as to how to create the class as a dll in Visual Basic. I thought I did it right and references it in the TestApp.vb but VS.NET complains that it doesnt recognize the "Imports Org.Mentalis.Multimedia"
Step by step guide for idiots to get that going? ;)
Also in your opinion how much would be involved to make that class work with multi channel WAVFORMATEX files?
Thanks,
Craig |

VB.NET has the annoying habbit of specifying a default namespace. This means that if you add one of our classes to your project, you shouldn't import Org.Mentalis.Multimedia but rather <PROJECT_NAME>.Org.Mentalis.Multimedia where PROJECT_NAME is the name of your project.
You can change the default namespace in the Project Options dialog [Common Properties -> General -> Root namespace]. |

As for the multi channel WAVE files, the class should work perfectly with multi channel WAVE files. |

Thanks, that fixed it!
As for the multichannel WavFormatEx files. Everyone I have tried has failed as follows:
An unhandled exception of type 'WaveFileMent.Org.Mentalis.Multimedia.MediaException' occurred in wavefilement.dll
Additional information: An error occurs while opening the WAVE device.
Which happens according to the debugger in the:
Public Function BeginPlay
at:
For i = 0 To m_Header.Length - 1
I even tried 2 channel-16bits files but made it of the type WavFormatEx and the same error occurs. The files are valid and play in several applications properly so I'm guessing there is something about the different header it doesnt like.
Plus outside of DirectX how does one open a multichannel buffer?
Thanks for a wonderful site and service. I just donated $50 as botanika@orangesmoothie.org to help out.

Playing 'Windows XP Startup.wav' [from the \WINDOWS\Media\ dircetory] works perfectly on my computer, and this file is a 2-channel WAVE file.
Can you send me one of those WAVE files that causes a MediaException? You can find my email address in the header of this post.
P.S. thanks a lot for the donation! |
