Handling Media

[Da1TruEcho]

I'm using CEF 2883 in a multi process setup inside of a Windows MFC application. I want to be able to programatically play/pause/seek mp3 and mp4. Find current playhead position, etc. Is there a way to do this?

It might help to know more about what you're trying to accomplish.

Media that is on a website? Normally the web page uses HTML5 or a Flash applet to put the media inside of a player.

Without that, you could do something like intercept the request, stop it from being handled by the browser, save it to a temp file, then use Windows APIs to play the file with some user interface you write in MFC like a modeless dialog. Or pass the file to Windows Media Player and let it handle the UI.

It would be for playing local files.

Unless you're planning to pay for a license to use mp3 in CEF/Chromium you should probably use OS functions for playback.

Assuming I acquire a license, is there a way to handle the media through a cefbrowser?

Yes, use the JavaScript media API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... diaElement
