Hi mate,
The fix you provided works perfect. However, if I put it in a class and import, make instance and execute in another file, the audio is not played.
What am I missing? This is what I do:
FileA.py
class WMPlayer():
'''
@
'''
#static var
#first instance is a primary , following are secondary.
#you can have one primary and as many secondary as you like
def __init__(self):
'''
init all attributes
'''
#self.mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")
#pass
def play_song(self):
mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")
tune = mp.newMedia(r"./SleepAway.mp3")
mp.currentPlaylist.appendItem(tune)
mp.controls.play()
sleep(1)
mp.controls.playItem(tune)
raw_input("Press Enter to stop playing")
#sleep(5)
mp.controls.stop()
FileB.py
from wmp.WMPlayer import *
class sTest(unittest.TestCase):
def test_wmplayer(self):
self.wmp = WMPlayer()
self.wmp.play_song()
Best regards / Med venlig hilsen

Thanks a lot mate.
You just made my day.
I have looked around the net but cannot find the controls available.
I would like to be able to:
- get current playing track
- get wmplayer state (playing/paused/stopped)
- get the selected sound device
Thanks a lot

I've found that adding PlayItem and sleep seems to work:
#! python2.7
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from win32com.client import Dispatch
from time import sleep
mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")
tune = mp.NewMedia(r"./plays.wav")
mp.CurrentPlaylist.AppendItem(tune)
mp.Controls.Play()
sleep(1)
mp.Controls.PlayItem(tune)
raw_input("Press Enter to stop playing")
mp.Controls.Stop()
