Direct Show problems

[JoOCoGames]

For some reason nothing that I load on Direct Show wants to run. Mp3's don't run and neither do AVi's files. Anybody else having this problem?


Direct Show runs in MMF HWA.

[Paul_Boland]

It takes two commands to make stuff run in Directshow. Load the file and then Play. Are you doing both?

[MetalGeo]

I have, oddly enough, the same problem. I can play media files with the HWA beta, but not with the regular version.

[JoOCoGames]

Ok I am glad I am not the only person having the problem. Paul I do that like I said which Metal Geo said it doesn't run in MMF2 but it does run in MMF2 HWA.

Weird... I've just tested with the build 247, it works fine... Are you using this build?

[MetalGeo]

Yep. Using Build247 with MMF2Developer. I'm on Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

But yeah. Odd how it works in the HWA beta (1F) but not in the vanilla version. And I don't think it never worked before.

Just as a note, dont know if this makes a difference...i dont think Direct Show can run i-tunes MP3 files as Apple put some security on them that doesnt seem to allow them to work in Direct Show.

Direct show can't even play .m4a files that you get off iTunes, even if there is no protection. (I don't think so anyway, as it's not a Microsoft technology)

[Yves]

MetalGeo & JoOCoGames, is your application in DirectX mode? There are issues in the DirectShow object if the application is in this mode. Although there should be the same issue in MMF2 HWA... (unless I've made a change I didn't remember)

[JoOCoGames]

No It's running in standard mode. When I reported this problem I was running build 248 and so during reading your response i went back to build 247 and it still does not work.
