I wrote a basic little app to allow me to play tunes from WMP on my PC via Rails on my PocketPC. I select a tune, click play and the tune plays until I hit the back button and playback stops! some of the code below. Any Ideas why playback stops? TIA Mike def PlayItem i = params[:id] @it = @@wmp.currentPl.item(i) @@wmp.volume = 50 @@wmp.currentmedia = @it Play() # redirect_to :back end ##Controller code def PlayList i = params[:id] @nl = @pl.item(i) @@wmp.volume = 50 @@wmp.currentPl = @nl @@wmp.currentmedia = @@wmp.currentPl.item(1) redirect_to :back Play() end def Play sleep(1) $wmp.play end class WMPlayer @@oPlayer = nil @@oControls = nil @@oCurrentPL = nil @@oPlayListCollection = nil def initialize if not @@oPlayer @@oPlayer = WIN32OLE.new("WMPlayer.ocx.7") end @@oPlayer end def currentmedia= oObj @@oPlayer.currentmedia = oObj end def play if @@oControls.isAvailable "play" @@oControls.play else @@oControls.playItem @@oControls.currentItem end end end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
