mediaplayer problems

Posted by Bo Johansson

I have a button and a mediaplayer on a form.

The button have this code (not the mediaplayer button):

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  MediaPlayer1.Open;
  MediaPlayer1.FileName:='F:\Min musik\Tractionprojekt\cd_a511040e_trk03.wav';
  MediaPlayer1.Play;
end;

Nothing happens, nor errors. But if set it up like this:

1. Chose another file in the filename property of the mediaplayer.
2. Click the button.

Now this file plays.

3. I stop it with another button (not a mediaplayer button):

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  MediaPlayer1.Stop;
end;

4. I click the first button. Now the file from the code is playing.

What shall I do in order to play this file the first time. I guess it has something to do with the filename but I don't know what.
