• AlexBB DXVA2.0 in MFT

  According to the msdn spec, it says the media session will call GetAttributes on the MFT (which should send the MF_SA_D3D_AWARE attribute back up). For some reason the media session does not call the IMFTransform::GetAttributes(). I am using the PlaybackFX sample. Any ideas why it doesn't call GetAttributes I'm going to guess that the transform in question isn't a decoder. In order for the MF session (actually, the topology loader) to do the D3D setup, the MFT in question has to be a decoder, and the MF topology loader has to have inserted it itself. I'm guessing that neither of these is the case for you. There is a way for you to get D3D set up on your non-decoder MFT, though... by doing it ...Show All

• n0n4m3 Correct Timer Code?

  I am having trouble getting the timer function to work. Everytime it is called on while in the player, it crashes the player. Is this formatted correctly var cbfnAudio = function() { //Animate Menu Code would be here myTitleTimer.enabled = false; }; var myTitleTimer = application.createTimer("00:00:01",1,cbfnAudio); myTitleTimer.enabled = true; Well, I can post what works for me. It's all done in the script side, not the markup side. Do you have the HD spec There is a fairly complicated formula in the Annexes somewhere that you will need to use in order to get the right values for setVolumes and setMixing. They can range from 0-255. Below is what I am currently using. Use this to initia ...Show All

• Bill Henning video zoom

  I'm working on a small function that zooms the video (with optional panning) but using the code below doesn't seem to work, any tips addEventListener("controller_key_down",keyPressed,true); function keyPressed(evt) { Player.video.main.changeLayout(0,0,Player.createVideoScale(1,2),0,0,1920,1080,"00:00:00:00"); } The above code should have changed the video on any key press. This code should zoom the video out i.e. assuming the video is 1920x1080 you will see it half-sized in the top left corner of the aperture. (I assume the aperture is also 1920x1080). If the video is other sizes, then ihdsim will get it wrong in various ways. I'd check the key handler is running ...Show All

• Temenos Develop Permissions in appdata\local\microsoft\windows sidebar

  my gadget calls a bat file which in turn calls an exe. i get permission denied and the bat will not run when my gadget it located in 'C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets'. It however works perfectly when my gadget is placed in 'program files\windows sidebar\gadgets' directory. My account has full permissions to the folder in appdata and i can run the bat file manually, but the gadget will not allow it to run. I assume this is by design, but is there any way to bypass this Or a way to change the default path my gadget installs to (program files, instead of appdata) Thanks Jonathan - Yea I could try coding the bat file into the gadget, the only problem is the b ...Show All

• Racsco IMFTransform::SetOutputType is never called.

  I`m trying to buld MFT but I can't set collect type that caller accepts. Caller just keeps calling IMFTransform::GetOutputCurrentType and IMFTransform::GetOutputAvailableType over and over again. What kind of types should I set just setting GUID of MF_MT_MAJOR_TYPE and MF_MT_SUBTYPE ok accoding to Media Foundation Transform document p.2 Sequence OfEvents "10. Caller calls GetOutputAvailableType iteratively on every output stream until the caller either exhausts the available types for that stream or finds one it likes. If the transform returns E_NOTIMPL, it moves on to setting the output types (step 11). (optional)" I tryed retruning E_NOTIMPL form GetOutputAvailableType but keeps going back to step 9. ...Show All

• Tom K Any sample for ITA?

  Hi all From the samples I don't see any implementation for ITA. It is told that to write an ITA we have to create proper interface in Media Source and return an IMFActivate for ITA to be created inside PMP process. "The IMFActivate object exposes the IMFActivate interface, which enables the PMP host to create the ITA, and the IPersistStream interface, which enables the PMP Session to serialize the IMFActivate object from the application process to the PE process." Sounds nice, except one problem -- how to write such a magic object I don't see any further information from all the documents. Does anyone know Actually I think my question is I don't know how to make a working IMFActivate ...Show All

• MuscleHead Maintaining State - script vs markup

  I've got a new guy I'm training on HDi and he's asking the same questions I did when I first start coding in HDi. And I realize I never get definitive answers on the best way to maintain state. For example, it seems like you should be able to maintain the state of several buttons and menu operations in markup using state:value(). But I have never been able to get this work and the only solutions I've seen in markup (in production HDDVDs and samples) involve using dummy elements to hold a "value" for the state of the menu. Even Peter's example use this design pattern (see blog), and he prefaces his example with the same perception that my team does: this seems hokey/messy.

• Eric Wirch Anyone done this?

  So now that we have the wonders of the gadgets in vista, has anyone figured out a way to make a gadget that will monitor the CPU usage on a different machine (ie a server) Would this be something you could grab via SNMP A quick google seems to suggest it's possible. So long as you have enough rights on both the host and server, you should be able to do this though WMI. I would have thought there is a CPU usage indicator within WMI. Short of that, you'd have to write an ActiveX COM to get the info through the perfmon DLL's ...Show All
