Urgent Help - Renderer plugin developed on XP does not work on Vista and WMP 11 combination. hriday.musale[ at ]gmail.com 10/17/2008 6:53:20 AM Hi, I have a WMP Renderer plug-in developed in VS 2003 on XP. It reads the information from ASF file and then it draws that information on videos. I have WMP 11 on my box, with Windows XP Professional and the plus-in works perfectly fine. When I register the same plugin on Vista and WMP 11, the plugin is able to read the asf file fine and the information is decoded perfectly. The drawing code does not work. The drawing information is displayed only for fraction of seconds, Anybody has faced this before?

Below is the pseudo code for that. void __cdecl TestDraw( void * data ) { Get Window handle from the Renderer plug-in Draw on Window } ProcessInput call: STDMETHODIMP CMyRenderer::ProcessInput( { ....... other code goes here m_spInputBuffer = pBuffer; //The m_spInputBuffer buffer us used by TestDraw to process the input stream HANDLE tid = (HANDLE) _beginthread( TestDraw, 0, &myStartup ); } I am finding the drawing WIndow handle by enumerating the available windows and looking for WMPVideoWindow (on XP) and EVRVideoHandler on Vista Do you see any issue the way I am processing the information.

You are a Renderer plug-in or just a general WMP plug-in? If WMP is already rendering you can't just draw over the top of that with GDI. It might work by chance on XP if you use the overlay, but disable the overlay in WMP and it will probably fail there as well. -- http://www.chrisnet.net/code.htm [MS MVP for DirectShow / MediaFoundation]
