Directshow Filter Selection

Hi,
I am a newbie, so please excuse any unqualified remarks.
I am trying to write a little movie player and want it to play ANY media file imaginable. After installing Real Alternative, I was hoping that I could play rm files, but there seems to be a bit of a problem. The sound is OK, yet the picture stays black. GraphEdit shows that by default the AVI decoder filter is being used, even with rm files. Removing this filter in GraphEdit solves the problem, the picture is OK.
My question is, Does PB offer a way to "disable" a certain filter? Or would there be a way to build a custom graph for a media file?
Any help will be appreciated.

Here's some code (from the german forums) using a dedicated filtergraph, maybe that helps:

This looks exactly like what I was hoping to find. I'll try and let you guys know.
Thanks for the help.

Hey, it works. Thanks for your help!

I have another question. For debug purposes, is there a simple way in PureBasic to either save the used gragh to a .grf file to be opened later in GraphEdit or add the running graph to the Running Objects Table in order to connect GraphEdit to the graph.
I did find c++ functions on the Microsoft website for this, but neither am I overly familiar with c++ nor do I know PureBasic well enough to convert these funtions from c++.

Here's the MS-code to add a graph to the table
(see http://forums.purebasic.com/german/view ... 6301#26301 for further explanations in german)

Code: Select all

#ROTFLAGS_REGISTRATIONKEEPSALIVE = $01

Structure WCHAR
  c.w[#MAX_PATH]
EndStructure

Procedure.l AddToRot(*pUnkGraph.IUnknown, *pdwRegister.l)
  *pMoniker.IMoniker
  *pROT.IRunningObjectTable

  If GetRunningObjectTable_(0, @*pROT) <> 0
    ProcedureReturn #E_FAIL
  EndIf

  sz.s = "FilterGraph "+LCase(RSet(Hex(*pUnkGraph), 8, "0"))+" pid "+LCase(RSet(Hex(GetCurrentProcessId_()), 8, "0"))
  MultiByteToWideChar_(#CP_ACP, 0, sz, -1, @wsz.WCHAR, Len(sz))

  MultiByteToWideChar_(#CP_ACP, 0, "!", -1, @wsz2.WCHAR, 1)
  hr.l = CreateItemMoniker_(wsz2, wsz, @*pMoniker)

  If hr = 0
    hr = *pROT\Register(#ROTFLAGS_REGISTRATIONKEEPSALIVE, *pUnkGraph, *pMoniker, *pdwRegister)
    *pMoniker\Release()
  EndIf

  *pROT\Release()
  ProcedureReturn hr
EndProcedure

Don't forget to Revoke() and Release() the RunningObjectTable once done.

BTW: Does anyone have a good (a really good

) idea to simplify the widechar mess?

Maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

Procedure.l L(string.s)
  *out = AllocateMemory(Len(string)*2 * #SIZEOF_WORD)
  MultiByteToWideChar_(#CP_ACP, 0, string, -1, *out, Len(string))  
  ProcedureReturn *out  
EndProcedure

Code: Select all

.
.
.

Code: Select all

  wsz.l = L("FilterGraph "+LCase(RSet(Hex(*pUnkGraph), 8, "0"))+" pid "+LCase(RSet(Hex(GetCurrentProcessId_()), 8, "0")))
  hr.l  = CreateItemMoniker_(L("!"), wsz, @*pMoniker)
