Thanks for the help Jeremiah. I tried what you had suggested and it still isnt working. I hate to paste a lot of code, but I have done so below in hopes that you may see something I am doing incorrectly with my assignment of the media controller or something. From all I have seen online, this should be working and Im wondering if maybe all these issues are due to something I just happened to not grasp in putting this together.
