GuiAviBitmapCtrl w/ DirectShow event support

#21 Gordon I would really like to see what fixes you made to the code.

#22 Rob, the changes to the actual code were quite simple.

On line 46 change of guiAviBitmapCtrl.h change
#include "gui/guiControl.h"
to:
#include "gui/core/guiControl.h"

On or around line 80 of guiAviBitmapCtrl.h change
textureHandle *mTextureHandles;
to:
GFXTexHandle *mTextureHandles;

That will sort out the compile error when using AVI video. You can find the same line for MPG if you wish and repeat change it also.

Then in guiAviBitmapCtrl.cc comment out line 16 #include "dgl/dgl.h", as we don't use dgl.h.

I also found the findwindow function at line 197 produces a new video window instead of rendering to the canvass so i commented out line 197 and uncommented out line 187 mWindow = GetForegroundWindow();

You can then compile your code and should have video support in TGEA. The real bulk of my time was spent getting the video gui to work. I found that using canvas.pushdialog crashes the program. I've submitted my startupgui video player as a resource so you can adapt it and have movies playing, where ever you want a movie to play.

#23 I forgot to mention to change the paths in guiAviBitmapCtrl.cc to so it can find guiControl.h and guiAviBitmapCtrl.h. I have just submitted the changed files and my video player gui as a resource so you can start playing video files in TGEA with minimal editing.

#24 So is this resource compatible with Torque 1.4?

#25 Better yet....is this compatible with 1.5???

#26 Guys I'm pretty sure this is a simple question to most of you... but I can't link the code to my 1.5 engine, because of it requiring the "Strmiids.lib"

I've got the latest DirectX9 SDK and tried reinstalling it as well but I still don't get Strmiids.lib. According to another post elsewhere (http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=3792) that I should use ole32.lib. Again, the main problem is still on getting to have strmiids.lib and i'm not sure if it passes ole32.lib as well. I tried adding these to the project linker settings in VS2005 as additional dependencies but still no go (Or, I just missed out something to do?)

I think these are the lines in guiAviBitmapCtrl.h that triggers it:

#if USE_DIRECTSHOW
         #include <dshow.h>
         #pragma comment(lib,"Strmiids.lib")
         #pragma comment(lib,"ole32.lib")
      #else

I tried hacking it by removing the pragmas but it would just cause a lot of "unresolved external symbol" errors.

Please help me in getting this to compile.

#27 Ok, I got it to compile. I just redownloaded and installed the latest Platform SDKs and DirectX SDKs on no more missing header errors.

I tried using it but it seems the movie shows up on another window and not within Torque's window along with the other Guis on that GUI. I also think that it doesn't recognize the events.

I'm looking for a way to make the video appear inside the Torque window and follow it's dimensions and coordinates. I'll deal with the events later. If anyone already knows the solutions for this, please go ahead and share. :)

#28 It worked for me on the first attempt in the window mode but when i switched to fullscreen mode i can just see a blank screen. Am I missing something.

Have anyone tried it in fullscreen mode and got it worked properly. if anyone knows the solution , please share it..

Thanks

#29 @Gordon Walton where can i find you resource on this?

#30 This is a very nice resouce! Very easy to install and use, I have just one quest, every movie play in a new windows, this is right or I'm doing something wrong?!

#31 Unknown command Play... anyone got an idea?

#32 I have implemented this ressource with fixes by Gordon Walton, but it dont't work correctly.

Every movie open a new window, and the window keeps black. Only sound seems to work.

Has anyone get it working?

#33 Hey I get the following errors on compiling, how do I fix this? I think it may have something to do with installing the directshow stuff but I don't really know how. Thanks

#34 I have same, avi, window swap to desktop window focus problem. Anyone else got this working?

#35 I've got this to work with 1.5.2 and the arcane.FX equivalent.

Regading the window focus problem, find the following line:

mWindow = FindWindow("Darkstar Window Class", NULL);

And change it into the following

mWindow = FindWindow(LPCWSTR(L"Darkstar Window Class"), NULL);

Seems that the problem was that during the version change into Unicode support, there was changes with the way text is handled including the window class name was changed into the Long Byte.

#36 Please help :

how can i fix it ?

#37 Thank you for this wonderful resource. :)

I am having problems integrating it into 1.5.2 though, and so far google has told me that the problem is something called NTDDI_VERSION. I'm running Vista SP1 and using Visual Studio 2008, so there's some sort of problem where the actualy Windows version is defined.

Anyway, the errors I'm getting are right after compiling winMain.cc (or main.cc):

c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\ocidl.h(430) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier '__RPC__deref_out_opt'

There are way more lines like that in the output, but they're all similar and all related to RPC.
Any ideas? :P

#38 still unable to get this to work in 1.5.2, anyone who has please let me know, thanks

#39 Same here.

I've tried different versions of DirectX SDK, Platform SDK and Visual Studio.
I'll run a few more tests in a Virtual Machine, just to be sure that it's not related to having "too old" SDK's/VS/Vista.
