What is error 80070057 when attempting to open WMReader? dl0 <dl0banter[ at ]gmail.com> 6/6/2007 5:00:35 PM I'm getting this error, specifically in the WMVCopy sample code. I'm running it like wmvcopy -i mms://oct.oct.oct.oct/pubname -o myfile.wmv It was my understanding the WMReader could open from a URL. I tried HTTP as well and this didn't work either. Seems to give me the same error. I know there aren't any firewall issues because I can open the designated stream with MP11 no problem. Thanks, D

It was a crazy day and I wasn't seeing anything on the site I was posting on. Sorry about that. Iif( m_qwDuration == 0 ) { hr = E_INVALIDARG; return( hr ); } I tried 0 initially thinking it was "forever" and it clearly is not, but I have tried it with other values as well. Still does the same thing so CreateReader is failing... Thanks, Sorry about the confusion.

The if statement down below is just catching it.

I have to be able to record live streams for archiving. This begs the question, is this just a setting on the WMReader? It says "URL" in the documenation but my URLs go to live streams exclusively.

The open with the URL succeded long before this check in the sample. Notice that it is not a failure in the API, just a check in the code, which means you can change it. Live streams do not have a duration since the software can not predict the future. But simply search the code for qwDuration and you'll see it is only used to track the progress during the copy and the check is there to prevent a division by zero later on when the duration is 0. Just remove the check and change or remove the progress tracking in CWMVCopy::OnStreamSample(). -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm

I spent a little more time in the code to find all the references to this value and turned them off... seems to work great now, thanks.
