I'm having trouble loading an asf file into imageen for video playback.
I realized that perhaps I made an unwarranted assumption that it would be able to handle it..

So question is -- should I expect ImageEn to be able to load and play an asf video file? If not, any chance of adding it? If so, any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

the fact that i seem to make a habit of replying to my own posts suggests to me that i should think more before posting, and for that i apologize.

ive since grabbed some asf files on the web and they play fine in imageen, so it must be something about the particular asf files i was testing before that caused them to fail.. i will research more.

Ok so I have some results to report.

It seems that as long as their is an AUDIO track/stream, the video plays fine.

But ImageEn seems to fail playback if there is no audio in the file.

This is not the case with AVI file, but it does seem to be true with ASF file.

Hopefully this is something that can be queued up for a bugfix?

Please could you post a link to an ASF file for tests?

Hi Fabrizio!

Sorry I missed your reply -- I keep forgetting to click the subscribe-to-thread button!!

I've uploaded a zip file with 2 asf movies, one with audio one without -- otherwise recorded identically:

http://www.donationcoder.com/Private/ibug/asftests.zip

The one with audio loads and plays fine, and imageen detects the proper duration.
The one without audio does not play and imageen thinks it has 0 duration. plays fine in other media players.

Thanks for taking the time to look -- ImageEn rocks!

Hi Mouser,
using last version I can load both files. I tried following:

ImageEnMView1.MIO.LoadFromMediaFile('testnoaudio.asf');

Tested on Windows 7 - 32 bit.

I tried loading testnoaudio.asf in the demo here:
http://www.imageen.com/demos/Display/VideoPlayer/VideoPlayer.exe

And it also will not play with that.

Doesn't give an error, but will not play it.
Plays the version with audio no problem.

I'm sorry, this example is not updated. In my tests VideoPlayer demo can read these files.

Sounds like I should just wait for the next release of ImageEn and then report any problems that might remain.
