WMEncoder - detecting devices csharpDeveloper 05.07.2007 10:32:04 Dear Sirs, I tried to run a sample code of the SDK but the program detect nothings. If I used the windows media encder then it detect my Hauppauge card. Can you help me please. Thanks. Here's the codes: .... // Create a WMEncoder object. WMEncoder Encoder = new WMEncoder(); // Retrieve source and device plug-in info manager objects from WMEncoder. IWMEncSourcePluginInfoManager SrcPlugMgr = Encoder.SourcePluginInfoManager; IWMEncDeviceControlPluginInfoManager DCPlugMgr = Encoder.DeviceControlPluginInfoManager; // Loop through all the audio and video devices on the system. IWMEncPluginInfo PlugInfo; for (int i = 0; i < SrcPlugMgr.Count; i++) { // Set the IWMEncPluginInfo object to the current plug-in. PlugInfo = SrcPlugMgr.Item(i); // Find the device plug-ins that support resources. if (PlugInfo.SchemeType == "DEVICE" && PlugInfo.Resources == true) { // Loop through the resources in the current plug-in. for (int j = 0; j < PlugInfo.Count; j++) { // Add audio resources to the cboAudioSource combo box. if (PlugInfo.MediaType == WMENC_SOURCE_TYPE.WMENC_AUDIO) cboAudioSource.Items.Add(PlugInfo.Item(j)); // Add video resources to the cboVideoSource combo box. if (PlugInfo.MediaType == WMENC_SOURCE_TYPE.WMENC_VIDEO) cboVideoSource.Items.Add(PlugInfo.Item(j)); } } } // This section shows how to enumerate digital devices such as DV cameras and VTRs. // Loop through the connected digital devices on the system. for (int i = 0; i < DCPlugMgr.Count; i++) { // Set the IWMEncPluginInfo object to the current plug-in. PlugInfo = DCPlugMgr.Item(i); // Loop through the resources in the current plug-in // and add them to the cboDevices combo box. if (PlugInfo.SchemeType == "DeviceControl" && PlugInfo.Resources == true) { for (int j = 0; j < PlugInfo.Count; j++) cboDevice.Items.Add(PlugInfo.Item(j)); } } } catch (Exception ex) { // TODO: Handle exceptions. } -- Regards csharpDeveloper

RE: WMEncoder - detecting devices KBoek 05.07.2007 12:44:02 Hi! Check if your Hauppage card works with WMEncoder (you can simply run the WMEncoder application to see if you can use the card as an input). If it works, then see if the SrcPlugMgr has actually items in it, so that SrcPlugMgr.Count > 0 Furthermore I'd use some kind of debugging to: - Check the PlugInfo.SchemeType - see if PlugInfo.Resources = true - Check the PlugInfo.MediaType regards, Karel "csharpDeveloper" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Dear Sirs, > > I tried to run a sample code of the SDK but the program detect nothings.

RE: WMEncoder - detecting devices csharpDeveloper 05.07.2007 14:24:05 Hi, thanks for reply. I've checked allready. I can encode some of the Hauppauge card with the Encoder application. And in debugging mode I can see the properties and collection of SrcPlugMgr, DCPlugMgr and PlugInfo but there was nothings of Hauppauge :(.

RE: WMEncoder - detecting devices KBoek 05.07.2007 16:02:03 If your SrcPlugMgr has some PlugInfo items in it, then the name of these should start with "DEVICE". Those items can be used with the WM Encoder. If you have more questions, drop me an email (kboek[ at ]hotmail.com) and I can try to help you out. You might also be interested in my encoder products that perform Windows Media encoding (Masaro, see www.raskenlund.com) "csharpDeveloper" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi, > > thanks for reply. > > I've checked allready.

RE: WMEncoder - detecting devices KBoek 06.07.2007 10:32:03 I created a C# console application in Visual Studio 2005 and added the following code to program.cs - in the static void Main(). This code worked fine and showed me the audio and video devices I had on my system: // Create a WMEncoder object. WMEncoder Encoder = new WMEncoder(); // Retrieve source and device plug-in info manager objects from WMEncoder. IWMEncSourcePluginInfoManager SrcPlugMgr = Encoder.SourcePluginInfoManager; IWMEncDeviceControlPluginInfoManager DCPlugMgr = Encoder.DeviceControlPluginInfoManager; // Loop through all the audio and video devices on the system. IWMEncPluginInfo PlugInfo; for (int i = 0; i < SrcPlugMgr.Count; i++) { // Set the IWMEncPluginInfo object to the current plug-in. PlugInfo = SrcPlugMgr.Item(i); // Find the device plug-ins that support resources. if (PlugInfo.SchemeType == "DEVICE" && PlugInfo.Resources == true) { // Loop through the resources in the current plug-in. for (int j = 0; j < PlugInfo.Count; j++) { // Add audio resources to the cboAudioSource combo box. Console.WriteLine("Found audio device: " + PlugInfo.Item(j)); // Add video resources to the cboVideoSource combo box.

RE: WMEncoder - detecting devices csharpDeveloper 09.07.2007 11:40:02 Hi, now I found the error :-) I was searching for video device by comparing with WMENC_SOURCE_TYPE.WMENC_VIDEO but it's wrong. Because WMENC_SOURCE_TYPE.WMENC_VIDEO = 2 but the device I'm looking for is of type 6. Now I checked by if (PlugInfo.MediaType == (WMENC_SOURCE_TYPE)6 || PlugInfo.MediaType == WMENC_SOURCE_TYPE.WMENC_VIDEO) and I've now theo right one.
