Hi mate,



The fix you provided works perfect. However, if I put it in a class and import, make instance and execute in another file, the audio is not played.

What am I missing? This is what I do:



FileA.py
class WMPlayer():
    '''
    @
    '''
    #static var
    #first instance is a primary , following are secondary.
    #you can have one primary and as many secondary as you like
    def __init__(self):
        '''
        init all attributes
        '''
        #self.mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")
        #pass

    def play_song(self):
        mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")
        tune = mp.newMedia(r"./SleepAway.mp3")
        mp.currentPlaylist.appendItem(tune)
        mp.controls.play()
        sleep(1)
        mp.controls.playItem(tune)
        raw_input("Press Enter to stop playing")
        #sleep(5)

        mp.controls.stop()



FileB.py

from wmp.WMPlayer import *



class sTest(unittest.TestCase):


    def test_wmplayer(self):
        self.wmp = WMPlayer()

        self.wmp.play_song()







Best regards / Med venlig hilsen

Thanks a lot mate.



You just made my day.

I have looked around the net but cannot find the controls available.



I would like to be able to:

- get current playing track

- get wmplayer state (playing/paused/stopped)

- get the selected sound device



Thanks a lot

I've found that adding PlayItem and sleep seems to work:



#! python2.7

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from win32com.client import Dispatch

from time import sleep



mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")

tune = mp.NewMedia(r"./plays.wav")

mp.CurrentPlaylist.AppendItem(tune)

mp.Controls.Play()

sleep(1)

mp.Controls.PlayItem(tune)

raw_input("Press Enter to stop playing")

mp.Controls.Stop()
