Are you using the archive download or did you just copy and paste the code from the post? That message means that it either can't find the bitmaps for the buttons or the bitmap is corrupt.

It gives me an error, which I'm quite puzzled by.

Python25libsite-packageswx-2.8-msw-unicodewx_core.py", line 3440, in ImageFromBitmap
val = _core_.new_ImageFromBitmap(*args, **kwargs)
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "bmp.Ok()" failed at ....srcmswdib.cpp(148) in wxDIB::Create(): wxDIB::Create(): invalid bitmap

Odd, I must say... What might be the fix?

Oops…someone else showed me a similar solution to this quite some time ago, but I forgot to update the code in the post. Thanks for the heads-up!

There is an error in the Program. This function is to change so that the volume slider works properly:

def onSetVolume(self, event):
"""
Sets the volume of the music player
"""
self.currentVolume = self.volumeCtrl.GetValue()
print "setting volume to: %s" % int(self.currentVolume)
self.mediaPlayer.SetVolume(float(self.currentVolume) / 100)

There are many different layouts that we could have gone with, but for this example, we’ll use the traditional one where we have a horizontal song track slider widget along the top with player controls underneath and a volume control on the right.And the shaped buttons would be perfect for this application.If we know what widgets of wxPython is. Thanks G-d bless

Playing with wx.media recently, the above works fine in Windows 7. If say you wanted to load and play at the same time (ex. getting the first selection on a previously loaded playlist) eg.

def OnPlayClick(self, event):
...
self.mediaPlayer.Load("c:some.mp3")
self.mediaPlayer.Play()

It won't play and it'll fill you with murderous rage.

What you need is 2 things, specify a backend and Bind a media loaded event:
self.mdaPlyr=wx.media.MediaCtrl(...szBackend=wx.media.MEDIABACKEND_WMP10)
self.Bind(wx.media.EVT_MEDIA_LOADED, self.PlayWxMedia)
