TMediaPlayer crash

[Nicolas Frank]

I am playing a video in a form using a TMediaPlayer object.

The first time I create the form from an other form and start the video
using MP->Play() in the OnShow() function everything is all right.

Then when the user press a key, I delete the Form, (My FormDestroy
function contains MP->Close();)

Then if later I need to create the same form with the video, I get the
folowing error message :

the project has generated a EMCIDeviceError with the message :
'MMSYSTEM265 This alias is already in use by this program. Use a unique
alias rather than the device name'.

I don't really understand what that means. Can any body help me ?

Thank's.

I don't know anything about TMediaPlayer objects, but can you just use
Show() and Hide() in the form so that you don't have to recreate it?

I have already thougth about that, but I really need to be able to
destroy and recreate this form (I use some very high memory cost stuf on
it).

Does anybody has another idea ?

Thank's.

Just a guess - but maybe the problem is that you are closing it
in the destroy, and maybe you need to use OnClose or something...
