Media player c# playing from network

Question

I´m trying to play a file located on network at address:

string filePath = @"\\192.168.xx.xx\folder\folder2\Audio\audio.wav";

and trying to play it in MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer player like this:

m_player = new MediaPlayer();
m_player.Stop();
m_player.Open(new Uri(path));
m_player.Play();

It doesn't return any exception, but it also does not play the sound. When I copy the file on a local disk and try to play it, it works fine.

Any ideas where the problem could be?

What about if you open the file from windows explorer? Does it play properly? — Steve B, Jan 17 '13 at 14:35

Doing some Google says, that you should try a relative Uri.

m_player = new MediaPlayer();
m_player.Stop();
m_player.Open(new Uri(path, UriKind.Relative));
m_player.Play();

Otherwise have a look at this example, which opens a stream and sets the stream to the MediaPlayer.

The SoundPlayer class can do this. It looks like all you have to do is set its Stream property to the stream, then call Play.
