Joshua Nobes Is it possible to display a web page in a gadget?
Hi All, Would you know if it is possible to show a web page in a gadget. We used to use active desktop to show our help desk calls which are in a sharepoint list - just a link to the list. Now that active desktop is gone in vista i was thinking about maybe trying to write a gadget which we could have on our desktop. Any information would be great! Thanks! Yes that should be possible. You could use a XMLHttpResponse Object to get the data you need from the website. Just create a large Gadget and load the sharepoint page in an IFrame. eg. gadget.html: <html> <body style="margin:0px; width:500px; height:500px;"> <ifram ...Show All
Ashok Ojha Protected Content (PMP) and tee node
Is it possible to play a protected media file in a topology using the tee node. I modified the ProtectedPlayback sample and I get MF_E_TOPO_UNSUPPORTED error after setting the topology. Thanks! Can I just co-create an IMFTransform or do I have to build my own IMFTransform and register it If so, anything else special about this dummy MFT What category does it have to be (MFT_CATEGORY_AUDIO_DECODER, MFT_CATEGORY_AUDIO_EFFECT) or does it even matter If I understand correctly, that dummy MFT will be discarded from the topology since it does not accept MFMediaType_Protected Marc I inadvertently omitted a detail here, and also I thought of a possibly easie ...Show All

e_LA Disabling all Selectable Elements

Michael Wu More complex samples from Microsoft, any ETA?
Hi Microsoft, I (and I'm sure everybody in this forum) am waiting for the more complex (and close to real iHD apps) samples from you. Do you have any ETA Thanks, -k OK, they are on the web at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=E19C869B-EF37-4E5E-91ED-32D059E3775B&displaylang=en Sorry for the long delays... One known issue is that the "Rotating Menu" sample won't work on the Toshiba player, unless you get an AACS disc made (ie, burnt discs don't work), although it will work on the emulator and the Xbox 360. Hopefully this issue will be addressed soon. In the mean time, you can work-around the problem by changing the script that sets backgroundImage to c ...Show All

red60man Can I create byte stream from network source?
I want to create IMFByteStream instance using source resolver. When I use files on disk as the source URL, all is fine. But when I use network source ("mms://streaming_server/file.wmv") as source URL, the resolver's CreateObjectFromURL method fails with error code MF_E_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEME. I tried using "http:", instead of "mms:", but that fails too. Is "mms:" or "http:" scheme not registered with MF by default ~ UK All right, I'll give this a try and see what happens. Have you tried "rtsp://" The MF Source Resolver should be picking up http://, mms://, and rtsp://. What if you try: IMF ...Show All

Pi314159 How to get the current playback position ?
Hi all, Is anyone know how to get the current playback position Regards, lka 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 topology2, the presentation time keeps moving up cont ...Show All
