Hi,
I've set up a database that is acting as an interface for another database that plays mpeg2 files on scheduled times.
But now that I've come this far I was thinking of doing that last step too and integrate mpeg2 playout in my own database. I'm writing now to ask about what experiences others have of scheduling and playing mpeg2 files with Windows Media Player in Access?
That is, is it easy to have a certain mpeg file played at a time that is in a field in a table? How can Access compare the computer clock and the time in the table field and start playing a file that has its path in another field in the same table?
I've just recently realized that it's possible to do something like this in Access, but I'm not quite sure where to start. Or are there other options that are better than embedding Windows Media Player in Access?
Thanks!
