wxPython 2.8.4.0 and wxMediaCtrl

Robin,

wxPython 2.8.4.0 fixes the wxMediaCtrl on Linux, which was not mentioned in
the release notes that I saw. Thank you.

However, the wxMediaCtrl.SetPlaybackRate() method appears to still be broken
for Windows Media Player. It works fine for the QuickTime Player backend on
Windows and Mac, but it seems to have no effect any more on the Windows
Media Player backend. (It worked in wxPython 2.7.x, but I now see that it
didn't work for wxPython 2.8.1.1 either.)

You're welcome, but I can't take credit for it. In fact it is still broken for me, so it probably depends on build options and other packages installed. Which linux are you running?

Fedora Core 6.

A couple of months ago (January??) I tried to get things working and
couldn't get anywhere. Then yesterday someone was messing with my source
code on Ubuntu Linux and posted a message to the Linux thread on my
discussion board saying it worked there with the newest wxPython. So I
upgraded only my wxPython to 2.8.4.0, and lo and behold it worked.

Hi David & Robin,

Just for your information, I am running Ubuntu Feisty with:

Python version 2.5.1c1

wxPython version 2.8.1.1

which are in the default Ubuntu repositories and the MediaCtrl works
fine in the demo. At least it shows how an ape can fall :wink:

Thanks for the info. I guess I have something configured strangely here.
