They are obviously trans-species icons! They might even be dancing nuns (if you squint a lot while looking at them).

What a piece of crap. It does not reliably play videos in ANY format I've tried. With a single file, I've observed the following behaviors (with a program restart between each observation):
- The video plays fine
- The video plays with considerable artifacts
- The video's first frame appears and I get audio
- The video's first frame appears and I DON'T get audio
- The audio plays but I get no video at all
In VLC and WMP, the video plays fine - every time.

Yeah, I found that too, but I don't have the time right now to refactor the code.

It internally uses DirectX, so perhaps upgrading to the latest version of DirectX may help with this somewhat.

That got me thinking:
VLC itself has an option somewhere (Tools, Preferences, Video, Output--at least in version 2.2.2) that lets you define what to use for rendering video, and is doesn't use DX by default if I'm not mistaken. If VLC was reconfigured to use DX, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it then also started exhibiting the same behavior.
Which brings me to wonder whether the WPF element has any such similar option that can be tweaked to match whatever VLC uses.

I'm running a fully patched-up Win7 install. You'd THINK I already had the latest DirectXcrement. And lets not forget, Windows Media Player (which also uses DX), works fine every time.

WMP uses DX too but not the same way - which is surprising 
I'd still recommend manually checking to see if you have the absolute latest DX installed.

That boat[^] gets the 4th most popular name! Fourth! Unbelievable. It's not like the man doesn't have enough things named after him already. My gruntle has rarely been so dissed!

True, but there are plans for a submersible to named Subby McSubface! rather than Boaty!

Nope: it was fifth[^] - "It's Bloody Cold Here" beat it as well.
I think it'd be a good idea: look at the names of Culture ships (Ian M. Banks):
No More Mr Nice Guy
Just Read The Instructions
Of Course I Still Love You
Unfortunate Conflict Of Evidence

Boo!
Funny, It Worked Last Time...
Now, those are good ship names!

'Just Read The Instructions' thats where the SpaceX name came from...

I'm pretty sure in the small print it said that the name has to be relevant.
|
|
|
|

It's a boat.
"Boaty McBoatface" is pretty relevant, for a boat.
If it was a street, or a pet Llama then it wouldn't be relevant!

However, it is the first reasonable name on the list.

Define 'reasonable' in this context! I don't see anything 'unreasonable' about Poppy Mai or Henry Worsley which both came in higher than Attenborough, especially as the latter actually was a polar explorer!

"Poppy" is obviously drug related; bad, bad opium, naughty!
She was a one year old girl who died three days ago.
Not very naughty.

Sorry, never heard of her. Pity she died, though. One year old, hardly any life lived at all.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Sounds like a good idea - but you're going to need a whole load of them to fix the problem!

They are open source. Just copy and paste.

So I work very closely with my boss - we work very well together - a true Gestalt. The companies IT face (for employees doing their work and for services) has basically had explosive growth. Real concern for the company all along the way.
This AM I read a string of emails - apparently his effective suicidal comments in terms of employment. In many ways we're viewed as attached-at-the-hip.
For myself and the company, his loss would be tragic. At my age, getting re-employed in IT is all but impossible (Experience? Who needs any stinkin' experience?) - and I don't know what the fallout will be.
Not at all a good start to any day.
