Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| AutoSize | Boolean | This property specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether the Windows Media Player control automatically resizes to accommodate the current media item at the size specified by the DisplaySize property. |
| AutoStart | Boolean | If this value is set to true/1, the video will begin playback as soon as it has buffered. Otherwise it will wait for the user to press Play. |
| Balance | Integer | Controls the left/right stereo balance of any audio. -10000 is 100% left speaker, 10000 is 100% right speaker, and 0 is perfectly balanced. |
| DisplaySize | Integer | This property specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether the Windows Media Player control automatically resizes to accommodate the current media item at the size specified by the DisplaySize property.
|
| FileName/Url/src | String | The URL of the file to play. |
| Height | Integer | Defines the height of the displayed object in pixels. |
| Mute | Boolean | If Mute is enabled (true/1), the sound is disabled. The volume parameter is ignored. |
| PlayCount | Integer | Controls the number of times the file is played. A value of 0 repeats forever. Default is one. |
| Rate | Double | This property acts as a multiplier value that allows you to play a clip at a faster or slower rate. The default value of 1.0 indicates the authored speed. Note that an audio track becomes difficult to understand at rates lower than 0.5 or higher than 1.5. A playback rate of 2 equates to twice the normal playback speed. |
| ShowAudioControls | Boolean | If this value is set to true/1, the audio controls will be shown. |
| ShowControls | Integer | If this value is set to true/1, the video transport controls will be shown (play, stop, pause, etc). If it is set to false/0, the controls will not be shown and the user will not be able to control playback at all. Obviously, in this case you would need to have autostart enabled or there will be no way to play the video.
Height: 46 pixels |
| ShowDisplay | Boolean | When set to true/1, this displays information such as the the title and artist of the clip.
Height: 74 pixels |
| ShowStatusBar | Boolean | If this value is set to true/1, the status bar is shown. This includes the buffering progress and playback status of the clip. Showing the status bar is a good idea as it shows the user how long they have to wait before the clip will be ready for playback
Height: 26 pixels |
| ShowTracker | Boolean | If this value is set to true/1, the tracker is shown. |
| StetchToFit | Boolean | The stretchToFit property specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether video displayed by the Windows Media Player control automatically sizes to fit the video window, when the video window is larger than the dimensions of the video image. |
| TransparentAtStart | Boolean | Specifies whether to make the player transparent at the start of the play. Default is false. |
| Volume | Integer (-3400 till 0) | Sets the audio volume (Loud=0) |
| Width | Integer | Defines the width of the embedded object in pixels. |
