Lib adding & Linker errors for Direct Show??

by Mike Wigand · in Torque Game Engine · 02/27/2002 (5:24 pm) · 2 replies

Im trying to implement Direct Show with the following:

/*
// Add MP3/AVI/MPG
// direct show header

CoInitialize(NULL);

// create the filter graph
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FilterGraph, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IGraphBuilder, (void**)pGraph);

// get the media control interface
pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaControl, (void**)&pMediaControl);

// get the media event
pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaEvent, (void**)&pEvent);

// play file
pGraph->RenderFile(L"file2.avi", NULL);
pMediaControl->Run();

// error code
long evCode;

// wait til file is complete
pEvent->WaitForCompletion(INFINITE, &evCode);

// cleanup
pEvent->Release();
pMediaControl->Release();
pGraph->Release();
CoUninitialize();
*/

I've added the library "strmiids.lib" to the project using: project settings -> Link, but I continue to get linking errors:

winWindow.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__CoUninitialize@0
winWindow.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__CoCreateInstance@20
winWindow.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__CoInitialize@4

Im I going about adding the library the wrong way??? I've also tried #pragma comment (lib, "strmiids.lib"), what do I need to do to get my links to behave correctly? Im probably missing something so simple. Please help.

MSDN says to use ole32.dll, so you might want to try adding that.
