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
lol... a little too lazy i guess... thanks btw
Hello Guys ,
We would like to develop a video player which needs to play from memory stram . Basically the files would be encrypted in local system and we need to decrypt them into memory and play them , not saving in temp location or file .
Please let me know your comments or thoughts / sample code etc /
Advanced thanks for your help or comments .
Thanks

Hi,
Did u find any solution for the problem?
I have the same problem now.
Tnx
Hi,
Yes, one possible solution I've found during working on a player that could play encrypted video files, is the following. Instead of having a real file on a disk you create a "file", a thing that is not present at a disk, but all files calls like SetFilePointer, ReadFile, GetFileSize are being redirected to appropriate memory stream methods. I like this really rich idea, for instance, you may read more about this approach here: http://boxedapp.com/encrypted_video_streaming.html
So it seems it's possible to provide video data not only from an array of bytes, but actually from any source!
Hope this helps!
Sure. Bypass encryption is possible on the device, not another.
