Hi Chris,<= /p>

I want to have wmplayer as p= art of my automitized test for a headset via the USB HID.=

I want to be able to execute= some of the following operations in my python script:

1= .   &= nbsp;   Play<= /p>

2= .   &= nbsp;   Get playing track =

3= .   &= nbsp;   Next<= /p>

4= .   &= nbsp;   Get active device<= /o:p>

First suggestion: post plain text to this list, n= ot HTML. You don't need it to look like the above. :)

 

Secondly: Is there a particular reason that you n= eed to be automating Windows Media Player specifically? I have a similar pr= oject which works by sending keystrokes, which means it works with anything= that reacts to keys; mainly, I use it with VLC. It can invoke a movie or audio file, can terminate the proces= s, and can send a variety of commands via keys. It's designed to be used on= a (trusted) LAN.

 

Code is here:

https://github.com/Rosu= av/Yosemite

 

Once something's invoked by the Yosemite project,= it simply runs as normal inside VLC. Easy to debug audio problems, because= they're managed the exact same way. Granted, this does assume that it's gi= ven full control of the screen (it's designed to manage full-screen video playback; in fact, my siblings are ri= ght now watching Toy Story 3 in the other room, using an old laptop driving= a TV via S-Video, all managed via the above project), so it may not be ide= al for background music on a computer you use for other things; but feel free to borrow ideas and/or code from t= here. (And for what it's worth, I use this as one of my sources of BGM when= I'm coding - just let it invoke the file, then manually flip focus back to= what I'm doing.)
