hi,
I am trying to play video clips from within my C# app (on a win CE 5.0
target).
I would like to be able to control the video from the application
(start/stop/size, etc), but am having trouble finding information on how to
do this.
I understand that COM/ActiveX is limited with .NET CF and therefore poses a
problem with the implementation.
Most of the information I have been reading is a bit vague and the one
sample I managed to download did not work on my target device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've added the .NET Compact Framework group to your distribution list. You
need to tell us what version of that framework your target device has, 1.0
or 2.0.

When i execute the player on the CE target (CEPLAYER.exe) it displays
'Windows Media 9 Series'.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any more information about the
application on the target device.

ok, getting there now - slowly.
I found some info on MSDN regarding DirectShow:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916490.aspx
Crowbar'd this into a C++ project using my platform SDK.
I had some initial compilation errors (I had to explicitly incorporate the
strmiids.lib from my platform SDK into the linker settings, and had use a
cast in ctlutil.h (LONG) for some reason...?).
Apart from that, it sort of works. Just need to figure out how to manipulate
it properly, then I guess I need to provide hooks for my managed code to use..

That's about all the info you'll get with wmp9.
In order to play video from within a CF2 application using wmp you
need to wrap the activex control for wmp9. I was able to do this,
although I'm not real confident in the result. It seems kind of
unreliable.
If you like, I'll send you what I've got. I'm always open for
improvement.
