Automating windows media player on win7

[Deogratius Musiige]

Hi guys,

I have been fighting with automating wmplayer but with no success.
It looks to me that using the .OCX would be the best option. I found the code below on the net but I cannot get it to work.
I can see from device manager that a driver is started by I get no audio out.
What am I doing wrong guys?


# this program will play MP3, WMA, MID, WAV files via the WindowsMediaPlayer

from win32com.client import Dispatch

mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")

tune = mp.newMedia("./plays.wav")

mp.currentPlaylist.appendItem(tune)

mp.controls.play()

raw_input("Press Enter to stop playing")

mp.controls.stop()
