Just bought the product from Datastead. I have not had a reply from the
publisher yet so I will ask you fine people out there if you have had any
experience with the product.

I am using XP pro (latest updates), directx 9, media player 9, Delphi 7.

Is the program using media player that is installed on the machine?. ie
version 9 on my machine?

I try to play a flash file using the component and get the error " Cannot
play back the file. The format is not supported (Error=80040265).

When I play the flash file through media player9 standalone(ie start,
programs,media player) it plays fine.

Is there a work around or am I missing something.

When I select mpSelectToSize and make the form full size (with no border
style and min / max or system menu all set to false) when I play a video
there is a border down each side. If I set to play full screen the
OnEndOfStream events does not work( I close the form and open a new one).

We have a multi monitor application that plays 2 players on each screen (
with different sizes and content). Any tweeks or suggestions for optimising
the system.

Wish list?

Is there a way to select the sound card that is used with the media player.
This would allow us to play the sound from a video to a different sound card
in the system.

Thanks in advance.
