I have a program that I need to play several videos in. I enabled the WMP in my form, put the videos in my resource (I wanted to have the videos locally no matter what computer was running it) and wrote some code to save the resource to the computer's drive so that when the WMP was ready to play, it accessed the local copy of the video and played it. This all worked fine and dandy, until Visual Studio started giving me errors due to storage issues. Therefore, I attempted to put the videos on YouTube and have WMP access that, but it doesn't work. It says "connecting" and all that then just says "ready" but doesn't play and if you do press play, it just reconnects and goes back to "ready". I need a way to access the videos locally no matter what computer it is on without manually transferring the videos to a specific location on each and every computer. Is there a way to have files install with the program without putting them into the resources? Or is there a better way to host them online and access them from the form? The advantage of local copies would be that internet connection is not required which would be amazing, however I can't seem to find a way to get the videos onto whatever computer is installing this program.
Please, if there is something I am missing, I am not surprised. I'm novice at this and I need a way to get these copies locally with every installation. Recources doensn't work because it gives the error about not able to embed resources into forms because of storage issues.
Tips or suggestions of any kind to help this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
