Re: Writing WM5 application that plays media files

WMP has an ActiveX control that would probably work. Alex Feinman did a
webcast showing how to use it from managed code which Google should be able
to find.

Background:

I'm developing using Visual Studio 2005 Professional on Windows XP Pro
targetting Windows Mobile 5.0 PPC. I'm writing a simple dialog application
that can play some set of media files (jpg, mpeg1(2 and 4), wmv, mp3)

I have investigated many open source projects out there, including VLC,
TCPMP, wxWidgets and GStreamer.

Current:

I'm not quite sure what the best route is to go. Basically I want an
SDK/API
to play different media file formats that works on Windows CE. Here are
some
questions I'm trying to find answered:

1) What is the recommended SDK/API for multiple formats that works on WM5?

2) Are there any activex controls that already support multiple formats?

3) Are there any closed source projects with good support and complete
API's? (that cost money of course)

Any advice or suggestions are appreciated...

Thanks
