Starting and Stopping the Movie Player

Before calling any Movie Player functions, you must start an instance of the Movie Player. When you start a Movie Player instance, you receive a movie ID that you use when calling any further Movie Player functions.

You can open multiple instances of the Movie Player and assign a movie to each instance. You can also consecutively load and play multiple movies from a single Movie Player instance. Before your application ends, it should close any Movie Player instances it has opened.

The following functions start and stop a Movie Player instance and obtain error information:

mmpOpen

Initializes an instance of the Movie Player.

mmpClose

Closes an instance of the Movie Player.

mmpError

Returns an error code and optional error message.
