Media foundation decoder MFT for DV, MPEG1 and MPEG2

Hi,
could you please tell me where I can find the correct decoder MFT for the DV codec as well as for the MPEG1 and MPEG2 codec?
At the moment I can only find a suitable decoder MFT for H.264 and MPEG-4 - CMSH264DecoderMFT and CMpeg4sDecMFT.
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance (__uuidof(CMpeg4sDecMFT), NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_PPV_ARGS (&m_decoder));
Unforatunately there`s no specific information on the web (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh162909%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).
best regards
saoirse

DV decoder is available on Win 7 and later, while mpeg video decoder is available on Win 8 and later.
CLSID for the mpeg decoder is: 2D709E52-123F-49b5-9CBC-9AF5CDE28FB9
CLSID for the DV decoder is: 404a6de5-d4d6-4260-9bc7-5a6cbd882432

Since I put Firefox as my webbrowser, I can't get google earth to work or windows media player when serching for album info and things like that and some other progams like these that acsses the internet it won't work. Can you help?

It just has trouble when a program is trying to open the internet.

Since I updated to firefox 5.0, the windows media player plug in for firefox doesnt work anymore :(

Ok I recently upgraded to firefox 5.0, and then when I went to a website that uses windows media player to watch videos and news reports, it said I needed to download the windows media player plug in for firefox. And yet I had already done that in the past. So it directs me to the plug in for windows media player 11, I download and install and it doesnt work. Website repeats the same message, you need to download plug in. It was working fine with firefox 4.0! I use the OS Windows 7, 64bit. Any help please?

Yes I did, at first it identified it as already there, so it gave the option of repairing it, etc, so I uninstalled the Windows Media Player, then Installed it again, and it still doesn't seem to work! I have the same problem with several other plug ins, in the add ons and plug in section of Mozilla tools, I see that say, "incompatible with firefox 5.0" but as days go by those add-ons, that are built by those other websites seem to be repairing it, but I wanted to know for something as important as windows media player plug in, am I the only one getting this problem? :/

Media Foundation transforms for BackgroundMediaPlayer

So I want to apply some media foundation effect to the backgoundmediaplayer samples before they get rendered. While this seems an obvious mission with the media stream source class, I do not really have the time to implement media stream sources for all
formats supported by windows phone just to get to the raw PCM inside them, and then do the things I want to do with them.
The media foundation transforms does something similar to what I want to do. Is there any way I can use a transform for BackgroundMediaPlayer, intercept PCM samples delivered by built-in system codecs and modifiy them accordingly? Or do I need to relay on
media stream sources?

Hello,
I'm sorry if I caused any confusion. Let me try to offer some clarification. The MediaStreamSource was designed specifically to address
the need to ingest and parse 3rd party streaming protocols such as HLS. In this scenario you connect to, parse and pass the encoded video samples downstream and allow the hardware to decode the samples.
While it is certainly possible to implement a stream source and codec in the same MediaStreamSource context you may not
get the performance needed to present a good user experience. Again we just didn't intend the MediaStreamSource to be used in this way.
While using C++ to implement the decoder may improve performance there is still a need to marshal the data between managed and unmanaged
code. Once in managed code the GC may run and cause sample delivery to stop unexpectedly. As I'm sure you are aware actively managing the buffer size can help to reduce this effect at the expense of latency. This is an extremely advanced topic.
That said, your business requirements may allow for dropouts to occur. This is up to you to decide. I just want to make sure that you are
aware of the repercussions of choosing this architecture and that it is not a scenario that we intended or tested.
So... Because of this I would never recommend this approach. I guess if it works great but be aware of the risk.
Okay, let’s talk about the BackgroundMediaPlayer architecture a bit. Windows Phone 8 (WP8) was a three process architecture. Windows Phone 8.1 (WP8.1) is a two process architecture.
I won’t go into how WP8 works. In WP8.1 you have a UI process and a background player process. The background player process is registered as a singleton instance OOPServer.
This means that the background player will only be created if one does not already exist in the current app container.
The background player process contains your background audio code. Just like Windows 8 this process is given a PLM exemption that allows it to continue to run in the background
while your UI process can be suspended. Once the exemption is registered, management of the background player process is handed off to the media manger. The media manager coordinates closely with the PLM to ensure there is only one active background player
process at a given time. This means only one app can be playing audio in the background at any time.
Okay so if you have gotten this far you get some potentially good news and an apology. I humbly admit that I was incorrect. I spent most of the afternoon going over
specs and the phone source code. I found that it should theoretically be possible to add additional components to the underlying background player MF topology.
From what I have been able to decipher, you can register a custom MFT in the background player code and have it automatically join the topology when it is created. You can
do this via the
MediaExtensionManger. Sounds good right? Keep in mind this is theoretical. I haven’t tried this and there may be some caveats, explained below.
Here are what I can see as caveats: The MediaExtensionManger only allows you to register certain types of MFTs. In particular encoders, decoders and stream handlers. Also you
can’t override any of the MF components that are handled by a known format. In other words you can’t override our MP4 decoder. So it’s not as easy as just saying “stick my MFT here”.
After much thought it still might be possible to get a MFT to join the topology after the decoder. In the case of audio I’m thinking that we need to create an MFT that takes
uncompressed audio in and outputs uncompressed audio. The question here is: “How does the topology manager evaluate components available to participate in the topology?”
The topology we want looks like this: S->D->C->R where C is our custom MFT. The decoder (D) outputs PCM. The renderer (R) takes PCM as the input. Our C takes PCM as
an input and output. When the topology loader builds the topology it connects the nodes from left to right. The question is: “Will our C be evaluated before the R?” If our C is evaluated before the R then we are money. However if the R is evaluated first or
C will be left out of the topology. I honestly don’t know enough about the intricacies of the topology loader to say with any certainty if this will work (and what about format conversions?)
Again we are trying to do things that the original developers never intended and didn’t test. If it works great! Please let me know. If it doesn’t I will certainly request
this feature for the next version of the Phone.
I hope this helps,

Media Foundation MFGetAttributeRatio works differently for Win 7 than WIn8 - how to set format?

I am Using Media foundation ISourceReader, ISourceMedia etc.
My camera supports several Resolutions with 60 FPS and 30 FPS. running the code in win 8 I get a different profile with MAX 60 for the 60 and a different profile with max 30 for the 30 FPS. however running same code in WIN7 gives me that for all FPS I get
the
Code:
Enumerating profiles, and stop at the profile that the desired FPS is the max FPS (as different profiles are returned for each FPS,and the max equals to the MAX_FPS).
for WIN8 following code works:
bool found=false;while(!found){HRESULT hr = m_reader->GetNativeMediaType(id,i,&pMediaType);
if (hr!=S_OK || pMediaType==NULL)
if(pMediaType)
pMediaType->Release();
break;
GUID subtype;
hr=pMediaType->GetGUID(MF_MT_SUBTYPE,&subtype);
frameRate frameRateMin;
frameRate frameRateMax;
MFGetAttributeSize(pMediaType, MF_MT_FRAME_SIZE, &currRes.width, &currRes.height);
MFGetAttributeRatio(pMediaType,MF_MT_FRAME_RATE_RANGE_MIN,&frameRateMin.numerator ,&frameRateMin.denominator);
MFGetAttributeRatio(pMediaType,MF_MT_FRAME_RATE_RANGE_MAX,&frameRateMax.numerator ,&frameRateMax.denominator);if(frameRateMax==desiredFPS)found =true;}HRESULT hr= m_reader->SetCurrentMediaType(0,0,pMediaType);
What I do see is that in WIn7 each profile is returned twice once with MF_MT_VIDEO_LIGHTING equals 0 and one with 3. but both profiles are with 60 FPS while no profile with 30 as I would expect.

Hello and welcome,
Rescue and Recovery should present an option for using a USB flash drive for recovery media. You only get one shot at this so it's important to make sure the flash drive is prepared correctly - and is large enough. Unfortunately I can't tell you the size drive you need. 32GB is plenty, 16GB is probably enough. Hopefully someone who has done this on a T433s will chime in.
Drive prep: New or used USB memory keys or USB flash drives require an active partition created from within Wind...
You can use your one-time shot at making a recovery drive any time. It will contain recovery tools and a from-factory recovery image, not a snapshot of your as-currently-configured machine. For an as-running image use the backup feature of R&R.
IIRC you can launch the recovery media creator as a right-click option on the Q: partition - or double click it maybe. That will also offer to delete Q: and add the space to C: - also IIRC.

Windows Media Centre - Windows Media Foundation - Windows Apps. Replacement for WMC

Still looking for a PVR replacement but DVBLogic looks like it might do the job.
Have gone down the Plex Windows App route (The clostest replacement to WMC player so far) but they are saying they are hamstrung by limitations of the App sandbox? and Windows Media Foundation.
I need some concrete information from the Windows Media Centre People or Windows Media Foundation people so that developers can be steered in the right direction to help people like me switch over from WMC to something else without major headaches, frustrations,
days and days of conversion and metadata reentry.
My post from Microsoft Community
Hi,
Since Windows Media Centre almost didn't make it into Windows 8 I have been looking to move to something else before it disappears for good.
While it might just make it into Windows 10 there certainly won't be any future development.
I not a big fan of Microsoft products but WMC is one application they nailed
Some additional smart recording options
i.e. I had to add "The Big Bang Theory - Return", "The Big Bang Theory - New", "The Big Bang Theory - Finale" etc to my series recording
A proper library manager (Plex does a great job of this) e.g. by series, season, episode - Movies - Documentaries etc with additional data downloaded.
A few more playable formats/containers
It would be perfect.
A proper Library wasn't as important as most of the metadata could be viewed directly in windows explorer.
Not supported with other containers.
This brings me to the first obstacle.
All the alternatives I have looked at so far can't or won't support .wtv files
Converting the files to another format/container loses all the explorer properties. (And some of the metadata completely)
Discussions I have had so far are pointing the finger at the "Windows Media Foundation"
I.e. Developers can't do anything with .wtv files because WMF doesn't support them.
So the question is: If Windows Media Centre is no longer viable for Microsoft why haven't they atleast provided the tools for developers to support the format/container they forced upon so many users of their product.
i.e. Metadata reader/writer
Codec/Container? player?
I need a replacement for Windows Media Centre: What is/are the alternative(s)?

Firefox's Media Foundation support breaks music playback and turning it off doesn't do anything.

A friend sent me an MP3 link about a month ago, and I was confused when Firefox told me the file was corrupt. I figured it was just the server it was on.
Then, I stopped being able to listen to music posted through Tumblr. I figured they just updated their player and broke something.
Then I tried listening directly to an MP3 on another site tonight, and again, Firefox told me "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt." I dashed around to a handful of other sites and every single one of them told me the same thing when I tried to play an MP3 file.
After doing some investigation, I learned that the Firefox team has tried to implement their own internal music playback system that either can't find a codec or isn't detecting these files as music properly. Now, a long time ago, I got pretty used to all these files playing through Quicktime, to the point where I would specifically install Quicktime with each version of Windows just to restore this functionality. But now Firefox is overriding that functionality for some reason.
The culprit seemed to be the option "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled", which I promptly disabled. Didn't help. Firefox is still insisting that these files are corrupt instead of letting Quicktime handle them.
This site also suggested turning plugins.load_appdir_plugins to true, but that didn't help, either.
It would seem Firefox is intentionally relying on a part of Windows that I don't have, because I'm still stuck on Windows XP (video capture hardware I depend on doesn't have drivers for Vista on up). The annoying part is that I can't seem to change it back to the way it was, and I'm pretty angry because this has broken a significant portion of the internet for me.

That seems to have done the trick! Thanks a million.

Media Foundation Source or H264 / AC3 differences between Windows and Phone 8?

I've got a working Matroska (MKV) Media Foundation Source for a Windows Store app (PC x86). It will play several different matroska files that contain H264 encoded video and AC3-encoded audio. It even has seek support. I've written the app
as a HTML/typescript Universal app with the MF Source as a C++ dll.
The problem is that the same code will not work on Windows Phone 8. I can play videos that don't require the external MF Source (i.e. MP4 files and AVI files) just fine on both platforms through my app, but the same MKV videos that played on an x86
PC will not play on Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 920).
I looked at the specs for the Snapdragon processor and it should be able to support both H264 at 720p resolution and AC3 (2-channel only). So I don't know what else I need to do to get this to work on WP8. The audio I'm trying to play is actually
6-channel, so that made me wonder if it was failing because WP8 supports 2-channel max, but I would have thought the audio just wouldn't work and the video would play normally.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
*edit* - just to be more specific, I can parse the file and create the presentation descriptor without errors. But when I finish opening the file and call the event for that, nothing else happens. What is weird is that the javascript video player
never throws the "canplay" event, nor does it throw the "error" event.
Lee McPherson

Thanks, not a bad suggestion to try.
On my Windows machine, I tried to get the MediaEncodingProfile via the createFromFileAsyc method. With a known file type, it outputs all properties of the video and audio streams (bitrate, etc). With an MKV file (container file with H264 video
and AC3 audio), I only get the type and subtype properties. Everything else is zero or null. This is because in my MFSource, I only set the type and subtype. This still allows the video to play on my windows machine. I assume the
built-in MFTransform for H264 video-to-uncompressed video parses the stream to get the relevant information. Likewise for audio.
On Windows Phone, when querying the file's MediaEncodingProfile, I get the same result. This is telling me that my MFSource will parse the file properly and set the subtypes for video and audio correctly. Everything else is still null or zero.
However, the file does not play. There is no returned event to the video element that it even *can* play.
Perhaps, I need to fill in the video and audio stream properties on the Windows Phone version. I really don't want to because that would mean having to parse some of the underlying video and audio streams themselves, not just parsing the container
information. (More work!) But this is what I mean when I ask about the differences between Windows and Windows Phone... perhaps the WP8.1 & Windows MFTransforms are different?
*EDIT* - I do get a JavaScript Console error that I didn't notice before: AUDIO/VIDEO: unknown MIME type. (VS error code: MEDIA12899)

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
Thanks

You are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

I joined iTunes Match on my MBP and added our MBA to the same Match account. What should the iTunes Media Folder Location be for iTunes on the MBA?

The iTunes libraries on both machines appear to be in sync, though I don't know if Home Sharing or iTunes Match is to thank for the consistency. But the iTunes Media Folder locations are different on the MBP and MBA, and I don't know if they should point to the same storage location (it's been on a drive connected to our Airport for years). I also don't know what options for Copying Files and Keeping iTunes Organized should be on the MBA. I certainly don't want the media files duplicated yet the devices sharing a cloud version.
I hoped the MBA would act like an iOS device using iTunes Match in that music would stream unless downloaded. Then downloaded music would have to be managed (deleted from the MBA's iTunes) for space reasons at some regular intervals-- just like we now do on the iPhones and iPad. The library entry for the song would remain... just the locally stored file would be deleted and the iCloud download would change back to the download symbol.
But if a purchase is made from the iTunes store on the MBA, the file is stored on the local MBA machine as well as the external drive because the MBP receives the song via Home Sharing and downloads the file.

Each iTunes client will expect a discrete iTunes library location. The iTunes Match service will allow the libraries to be automatically synchronised along with any IOS devices that are also registered for iTunes Match.
Following making a secure backup for any given library it is possible, once Songs have been 'matched' or 'uploaded' to remove the local copies and play the Songs from the Cloud. The behaviour on IOS devices is different, they will download each Song as it is played.
Note: Apple is very clear that the responsibility for maintaining music files remains with the user - so it remains essential to ensure that you have your own Songs secure backed up prior to relying on the Cloud. Should there be an issue with the Cloud resulting in loss of Songs you will need your own secure backup.

Media Engine (Media Foundation) sample WP8 app decodes sample video incorrectly

The
Media Engine sample compiles fine on my machine and I can run it on my phone, but I can't get it to play any video correctly. Specifically, the video that is being drawn every frame is wrong. I'll try and attach a screenshot to show what it
looks like, but if you can picture a bunch of blocks that have a distorted piece of the original video, that's it. The sound plays just fine. What in the world could be causing this? (The video is the sample video that comes with the code... a dog drinking
from a pool.)
I've even tried to recreate the sample using the
walkthrough but I get the same result. I have taken the sample and removed the MediaEngine and tried just drawing a static texture to see if there was some hidden code screwing up the shaders, but it worked fine...
so something is wrong with Media Foundation. Is it possible I have a library that is not working correctly? I'm using VS2013 (Pro) with all the latest updates.
Lee McPherson

I get the same result (and exceptions running in the debugger) on my HTC 8X. I will investigate further and update this forum post when I know more!

I bought at Media Market the CD for installing Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 but I have no disc drive. Is it possible to install and register it online?

I was in the same boat as you, so I went to Best Buy and purchased the box (on sale, by the way). I then downloaded the trials separately for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements from the Adobe product site.
In the box you should have been given 2 discs (one for Photoshop Elements (PS) and one for Premiere Elements (PE)) and something called a "redemption code" on a square of colorful cardboard with instructions on how to get your serial keys for installation. The single redemption code is NOT the serial/product key you use to install your purchase. Once you follow the instructions on this card you will be shown two serial/product codes, one each for PE and PS. Write them down, print them, whatever, you will need them during installation.
Now go to the downloaded trial file(s) and run the installer, either for PE first or PS, it makes no difference. During the installation you will be asked if you want to start a trial or use a serial/product code. Choose "I have a code". Enter the product key and you will be golden. Repeat for the other program.
Hope this helps!
