playing video from MemoryStream

[usama194]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to play a video directly from the memory stream, using the windows media player component? I dont want to have to save the video to a file and then provide the player with the file path as the URL. I know that there are other methods of playing videos, but i wanna keep it simple, so I would prefer to use the simple windows media player component.

Just open the url to the media stream... You can use DirectShow to fully control the streams.

I havent really worked with DirectShow before. Any pointers on how to go about doing it? How exactly do i control the stream using DS?

What's wrong with developers nowadays.....

Next time, google first please!

DirectShowLib (http://directshownet.sourceforge.net/)
