• R8VI Problem with 'content ID' while creating directory in 'persistent storage'.

  Hello Everybody.... In the java script for creating a directory (FileIO_createDirectory), do we have to specify the content id also If we don't specify, whether the directory will be created or some exception will be thrown I am giving two examples below, please tell in each case what will happen. 1. FileIO.createDirectory("file:///required/app1",callback_createDirectory); 2. FileIO.createDirectory("file:///required/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/app1",callback_createDirectory); Another problem you'll have is encryption. Two different discs can have access to the same the file, but both must have the same title key available to them and set. Otherwise, you'll cause the player to crash. ...Show All

• RueSam How does MFT deliver Video Extended info to EVR?

  Currently we are developping video decoder MFTs. How can MFT notify video extended info ( color conversion matrix, etc.) to EVR What attributes of sample or mediatype will be used by video processing in EVR mixer Does default mixer use video transfer matrix for video processing It seems there are two ways for getting video extended information from media type. 1. IMFVideoMediaType::GetVideoFormat can get the video format that include color matrix info.( but can't set information ) 2. IMFAttribute::GetUINT32( MF_MT_YUV_MATRIX, &Values) can get MFVideoTransferMatrix enumeration. According SDK's documents this attribute is for IMFMediaType. However, there is no way to attach extend info to IMFSample ( but ...Show All

• kawano1h Downloading and searching a web page...

  Hey. I just got into Sidebar development and have a question. I've already got my gadget displaying nicely, but have run into problems making it functional. My Javascript is really rusty, so bear with me here. I'd like to be able to download a web page's source (HTML, generated HTML from a PHP page, whatever, not like the actual scripted source or anything, just what the end user sees) and then be able to sift through it for a certain element. Specifically, I'd like to download the index of http://www.charas-project.net and find the first link after the source: < span class = 'title' >Last 10 Forum Discussions</ span >< br >< hr > I can probably find the string handling functions to do the latter myself, but the d ...Show All

• Kris Nye HD DVD Writers

  Are there any HD DVD Writers on the market Toshiba have a recorder for around $3k, or are you asking about bare drives I am looking for a PC drive. Internal or external doesn't matter. Money also doesn't matter because I am working for a company that deals with these things so they will pay for it. Hopefully ;-) I just didn't find any HD-DVD drive in contrast to Blu-Ray for which are several writers on the market. Do you know an internet url for this Toshiba writer Not consumer models. Not yet. In the meantime you can burn a red laser though and play it on an HD-DVD player. The Toshiba recorder is here: http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/22/toshibas-rd-a1- ...Show All

• JustinS Additional requirements for a WMP plugin on Vista 64?

  I have a WMP plugin (as a DMO) that works with Media Player 10 and 11 on Windows XP and Vista (32-bit). That same DMO does not work on Vista 64-bit. My DMO registers with IWMPMediaPluginRegistrar::WMPRegisterPlayerPlugin() and ThreadingModel = 'Both'. () My plugin will support IEEE_FLOAT as well as PCM audio, but it does not appear to get the chance. I usually see my DMO loaded into multiple processes on Vista 32, and the rendering always occurs in an MFPMP.exe process. I do not ever see my DMO getting loaded into the MFPMP.exe process on Vista 64, and I suspect that is where the audio rendering is occurring since I do see an MFPMP.exe process starting when audio playback starts. What more do I need to do to get my DMO picked-u ...Show All

• RobMiles Using one Button to open and close menu

  I'm trying to change my menu trays to open and close with the menu button. The problem is I cannot think of a way in markup, to end one of the actions properly. I thought about just making a class that is set to either open or close. Any ideas <timing clock="page"> <defs> <!-- Effects for opening and closing main menu. --> <animate id="OpenMenu" style:x="-450px;0px" /> <animate id="CloseMenu" style:x="0px;-450px" /> <set id="Hide" style:display="none" /> <set id="Show" style:display="auto" /> </defs> <par> <seq begin="(id('BTN_MENU')[state: ...Show All

• Chris Via File upload with Sidebar Gadget

  Is there any possible way to upload a file through a gadget I am creating a gadget that takes a word document or .txt file as input, post that to our servers and then we display information to you every day based on that information through the gadget. (the user gets a infoId that will give them their own customized info) Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Thor. You can use XMLHttpRequest to send data to a server. You can manipulate the local file system. You can read a file to upload via XMLHttpRequest, using an FSO binary stream. If you want to allow the user to select a file, use System.Shell.chooseFile. Combining the two: var adTypeBinary = 1; var cfItem = System.Shell.chooseFile(t ...Show All

• awbliven - MSFT Text to Display Rending

  Here's the issue in the simplest terms I can explain it. This all started with subtitles. It is obviously easier to have a markup file with all the subtitle text in it instead of having to make individual graphics for each. Far as I know, this should be possible. Unfortunately, it's not going so well. After many attempts at subtitles, I decided to just add a very basic text output from the main markup file. It still did not work! I've checked the fonts, tried a few, and they are all Open Type. It's a very simple piece of code that just sets the position, font, and color. I left out all the timings and animations to be safe. Is there a bug in the Toshiba Players that won't do this or I am just overlooking something right in front of my face ...Show All

• JosKoenis Gadget does not show

  Hi, I have developed a very simple gadget which shows rss information from an specific web site. The gadget also shows stock information for a company, implements a transition between the rss and stock information as well as some javascript efects (fade and pixelate specifically). The problem I have is that this gadget works great in some machines and does not show in others. The gadget works in some machines with RC1, RC2 and RTM Vista versions but does not work in other computers with the same versions. Does somebody know what can be happening Best regards, Johann Granados Does it not show in the Add dialogue after you've installed it, or not appear on the sidebar when you add it If it's the ...Show All

• ackermsb XPath - selecting an element by index

  Seemingly this should be a valid XPath select for a <cue> or <par> -- why does it's inclusion cause iHDSim to report an "Unknown Exception" //div[@id=$chapter]/button[1] This should identify a specific <div> (using an XPathVariable set in script), and get the first button it contains. In fact it seems that the bracketed subscript notation doesn't work at all... Thanks again, that was even more helpful. Using el.state.focused='true'; el.state.unsetProperty('focused'); ...sounds like a winner, since using the markup engine here was a workaround. Alternately, using the XPath contains() function to simulate an intersection might absolve the need for script poking the focus aro ...Show All

• Shirvo Dll inside gadget

  hi every body how can i use a dll inside the gadget code and if it is required to regsiter the dll please any one know answer reply thanks Fathi S. Elashery Yes, dsxlib.dll is a library I created to wrap around DirectSound because the sound support in Sidebar is too basic. Hopefully in v2, they'll expose DirectSound (Bruce - you reading this ) Yes, you just need to register the DLL and then use the functions I've exposed to call DirectSound. If you download Asteroids you'll have all the code you need. Feel free to use the DLL. Because I wrote the DLL in VB6, you'll need to register the DirectX VB library that exposes DX to VB (it doesn't come with Vista as it only includes DX10). When I get time, I'll recode it ...Show All

• Arindam Biswas Dynamic chage of media type in using tee-node and 2 sink doesn't work.

  Hi. In my topology there are EVR and cosutom sink to get costom event from MFT connected with tee-node. When my MFT return MF_E_TRANSFORM_STREAM_CHANGE with MFT_OUTPUT_DATA_BUFFER_FORMAT_CHANGE in pOutputSample[0].dwSatus. Pipeline stopes and get E_FAIL from session event. If I remove tee node and cosutom sink topology works just fine. Am I missing something Thanks. kasumi. I meant that the problem exists in RC1, but will be fixed in the final release version. P.S. Because of the way the MF pipeline works, whenever you have a sink that's D3D-aware (like the EVR, but probably not like your "mySink"), the node directly upstream from that sink (EVR) needs to be an MFT.

• Mateusz Rajca Any method for MF PVP application fail gracefully if video driver is not PVP signed?

  I am working on an application that runs protected playback with Media Foundation. I've encountered a problem that with some graphics cards, an error dialog box pops up from another process saying " Bad Image: X is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error". After repeatedly pressing OK for the same dialog poping up many times, I can see the application hits a debug assertion saying that  ESP is not properly restored. I've read about the following previous thread in this forum and know that this symptom happens because video driver is unsigned and mfpmp.exe failed.
