Windows Media Player Starts Playing When Windows is Locked #39

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start playing something in Windows Media Player
2. Pause or Stop it (both result in the same)
3. Hit Win+L (trigger MonitorES)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: WMP stays paused. Actual result: WMP starts to play again as I'm 
moving away from the box.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WMP: 12.0.7601.17514, Win: 7 Home Premium SP1 Turkish 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Thanks for greatly useful and environmentalist software!

Legend: WMP = Windows Media Player

WMP doesn't provide any API to get the status of media player. So It assumes by 
default  it's playing.

It's a known bug. I'll check the possibility.

This issue nope! I'll blame it on Microsoft :) It might be possible with .NET 
libraries  
but I am yet to find a proper workaround for win32.
