Video is not displayed even though the status bar below window media player moves ahead

[Nidhi]

Hi,

I have a VI which has windows media player.  If I run the VI as it is or after buliding an executable, the videos are displayed properly.  But when I use it in another application, which has a series of VIs, the video is not displayed although the status bar below shows that the video is being played and the time also increases.

The VI that is run before this one also has windows media player and there is no problem with it.

Please suggest on what could be the problem.

Thanks,

Nidhi

Nidhi,

What version of LabView and WMP are you using?

This Knowledgebase points towards problems with LabView 7.1 and early and also WMP 9.0.

Are you hearing sound when you play the video?  When you port the code over to the other application, are you including all necessary elements and preserving the link to the video?

Hi,

I got it to work.  It was something related to how the VI was saved.
