• Darren_Yu newbee problems.

  Hi I'm currently developing a gadget that works a bit like the rssFeed. Also good to know is that I only use JavaScript. My question to you all is, how do I access all the variables that i set up in the .js in the main gadget, when i have opened the flyout window. when i try to use them in a function they come back undefined... this is probably not tloo difficult, but i would appreciate an answer You can't its a different web page but you can pass infomation to Elements try this System.Gadget.Flyout.onShow = function(){      if(System.Gadget.Flyout.show){       var flyoutDiv = System.Gadget.Flyout.document;      flyoutDiv.getElementById( "flyoutFieldSomeName ...Show All

• Matt_ Is this posible with Media Foundation?

  Hey there guys, Im looking for clearification about a media playing scenario im trying to solve - so here goes: Say i have managed to encrypt and include a known media file (e.g. mp3) in another custom media file named "song.sd3k" Is it posible to tell Windows when an application is trying to play this file, to pass the file to an MFT when the file has the .sd3k extension, and is it then posible for an MFT to decrypt and pass a decrypted MP3 stream to the application which is trying to play the file. Im not asking how its done - im asking if it is even remotely possible in your eyes. I have been trying to do it with a DMO in Windows XP - but the Media Foundation sounds more capable of such actions - if any of you h ...Show All

• Srikant0102 Media Foundation Protected Pipeline EXE stopped working

  I just installed Vista Home Premium, with IE7 and WMP11. I tried to play an MP3 file and got this error - "Media Foundation Protected Pipeline EXE has stopped working." WMP11 closes. Any ideas what's wrong Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Wow, thanks so much. I just recently started getting this error, and definitely am no computer expert. I followed your directions, and voila!

I can't play DVDs either. I get a message that Windows will try to find a s ...Show All

• Diango New HD DVD players

  Toshiba recently announced new HD DVD players, the cheapest one is $499. But unfortunately True HD tv's are still very expensive. BTW anyone knows if they support persistent storage, or do all hd dvd players have this as default and how much http://www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.php id=5455&cid=5 Yes Europe, one of the first :), I know hd ready sets are "cheap" but true hd, that is using 1920x1080 resolution, are still very expensive (at least here). But as soon other companies start manufacturing/releasing them the price will soon drop. I think he is living in europe =) Here you get tons of different 'HD ready' devices pretty chea ...Show All

• Andy Johnston Playing streaming content using Media Foundation

  Hi We're trying to use Media Foundation for streaming content playback (mms://). We're using the MF_BasicPlayback sample and it seems that the source creation is ok but I get an error result (0xC00D717F) in the MESessionTopologySet event. To test the streaming we are using a sample from cnn (just to save you from searching streaming content): mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/law/2006/12/04/joyce.az.tempe.racial.incident.ktvk.ws.wmv Does Media Foundation support streaming content at all (It seems from: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa965244.aspx that it does) Should we do anything different Thanks Haim Hi Haim, Looks like you've run into a bug in our ...Show All

• DRoden Titleset aspect ratio

  Hi - long time listener first time caller. I am working on a disc where the main title is 1080p VC1, but some of the extras are 480i and 4x3. I'm afraid I don't have a copy of the spec. Is there a way I can set the aspect ratio for each title in my playlist Scenarist should do all the work for you to get the right output; at least it has in my limited testing. (Assuming you are using Scenarist to create the EVOBs, that is). Correct - I'll be creating the EVOBs in SACA. Unfortunately some of my extras are going to be mpeg2. I'll test this when they are done encoding in a few days. Thanks Andy! This should be set in the VTSI file when you build your content. You can set this in the playlist under MediaAttributeList ...Show All

• Liam404 How to get the current playback position ?

  Hi all, Is anyone know how to get the current playback position Regards, lka Thanks Becky ! In Media Foundation, the current playback position is available from the clock at IMFMediaSession::GetClock(). This clock gives you presentation time. For single-topology playback (like playing a single media file, no sequences or any other IMFMediaSession::SetTopology calls), presentation time is usually going to be the time that an application would want to display in its UI as "current position". To get this right in general (when more than one topology is being played), you need to be aware of the fact that when MF moves from playing topology1 to top ...Show All

• irvendeep XPath - intersection of nodesets

  Is it possible to perform an intersection of nodesets within an XPath And if possible... Is there a somewhat elegant way to do it Seemingly it's not difficult with XPath 2.0, however with the HD spec we're using a subset of XPath 1.0. The most common reason anyone would want to do this -- since elements can have multiple classes, let's say we'd like to select all elements with class('a') AND class('b'). The class() function involves a built-in (which is probably optimized / indexed on DOM load) split() or tokenize() on the "class" attribute string, and it would be hard to mimic this ability looking at @class directly. I realized what the problem was -- this may (or may not) be instructive... I ...Show All

• kawano1h Missing thumbnails on gallery.live.com

  I seem to notice a lot of Gadgets on the galley.live.com page don't get their thumbnail image displayed (mine doesn't seem to show up about 80% of the time). Anyone have any insight into this issue Happened to some of my gadgets a while ago but I haven't seen it happen for some time. When did you notice it Andy I've noticed it ever since I uploaded my gadget (about a month ago) and it still persists today. It rarely displays the thumbnail and it seems to be sporadic as to when it will actually show up. I notice there seems to be a few others whose images do not display either. Hi nadasurf2 (et al).

• sudhirvn Authoring software

  Hi guys.  Please excuse my more basic question that is not about advanced content. I have a SD DVD I need to convert to HD DVD.  I've used the now defunct DVD Maestro to do all my authoring and I am proficient with it.  I need a tool, preferably XP compatible, that will allow me to do some HD DVD authoring with that level of flexibility.  The only thing I know of is Scenarist and that may be a stretch for my pocketbook. Are there any other options   It is important that the authoring process does not do any recompression of the content. Thanks, Scott Got a price from Sony yseterday. 'bout $60,000. Too rich for my one commercial DVD. ...Show All

• ELADDDDDDDA Will Media Foundation support HD/BD?

  From the feature list of Media Foundation on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/t_d_migrating_from_directshow_to_media_foundation__cyor.asp we can find in section "Media tasks" that Feature group Feature Media Foundation DirectShow Media tasks DVD playback and navigation No Yes That means MF is not going to support DVD. But what about the new generation of DVD Like BD and HD They both have navigation mode and are supposed to be "premium" content. Does the "DVD playback and navigation" here means MF will not support medias with DVD-style navigation, or only traditional D ...Show All
