How to get playing file URL from DSP plugin mandelberg 10/25/2008 7:44:00 PM I'm developing a DSP plugin that need to be loaded into embedded WMP11. I'm using WMP SDK11 (not Media Foundation). Is there a way to get the playing file URL within the plugin code?

If you can get a reference to the Player object (which you should, as it's hosting your plugin) then player.currentMedia is a Media object which contains those details, including currentMedia.URL HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs

Re: How to get playing file URL from DSP plugin mandelberg 10/27/2008 10:28:45 AM Which interface should I usefor that? IMediaObject, IWMPMediaPluginRegistrar, IWMPPlugin and IWMPPluginEnable are not supporting this functionality.

Re: How to get playing file URL from DSP plugin "Neil Smith [MVP Digital Media]" <neil[ at ]nospam.com> 10/27/2008 10:32:28 PM If the IWMPMedia interface is present, it's derived from WMP, so it should expose the sourceURL property, and the getItemInfo method : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb249010.aspx It's not obvious from the documentation (at least to me) if that's a DirectX IMedia object though, as I couldn't find a specific interface by that name in the docs. Probably Chris or Allesandro would know.

I don't know about Chris or ALLeSandro, but ALeSSandro :-) thinks that it is not possible. A DSP plugin is a DMO (IMediaObject) and/or MFT (IMFTransform + IMFGetService) that is registered with WMP as a plugin and implements IWMPPlugin and IWMPPluginEnable. None of the interfaces ever receives a reference to the player object. The only interesting possibility is IWMPPlugin::AdviseWMPServices(), which receives an IWMPServices reference that may be queryable for other WMP interfaces (I don't think that is the case, but I never tried so I don't know for sure). -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm
