It's not driving him nuts anymore. He arrived at that destination years ago.

See Rabidrobot's Single Switch media player: LINK or Gef's Azure: LINK There's more, I'm sure.

Essentially, it can't be done with the DXplayer plugin. You'll have to use the Windows Media Player ActiveX script, which is a bit more involved and complex. But you could just reskin one of the ones already made.

I tried both of those. I just don't understand the WMP activeX controls.

Eve, I'd love to see you make us a template player with it...lol.

I have made it all in DX and it will bring up the visualization window, but always at upper left screen corner, and not in a frame or on a background.

 

In order to make the one with WMP activeX, the whole thing has to be scripted, from what I've seen, and I can't do that. And Gef's and Tiggz's have no EQ. Which I can do with DX.

I'm dumbfounded that we can't make a window that shows up with a DX button to open at a set location on a background. Bummer.

Wouldn't even let me load a file. It doesn't seem to work.

Here's the template _Martin_ did (sans equalizer): LINK  I'm not entirely sure the equalizer is available to the activex control, but i could be wrong.

Thanks Eve. I have tried this too, but I'll try again.
