media player is my latest target
Media Player has always had two major flaws that stopped me from using it.
- No support for ogg
- No support for listening to music in one player while watching random videos in another
Now that you can hack media player to play ogg, i figured, hey, I can bend the "no multiple players" rule with a little inventive coding.
What I ended up doing was embedding media player in my own component and controling the playlist myself. However, I figured that hey, while I was at it, I might as well do something I wished winamp could do, and make it a explorer toolbar. With some excellent help from CodeProject, doing all the hard work of wrapping the toolbar COM goo, I wasn't that hard to get my own player that sits quite nicely in my taskbar. Observe
Now all I have to do is make the custom playlist editor Not Suck© and i'll be ready to unleash to the other 5 people in the world who've wanted something like this.
