IMFMediaEngine - Documentation incorrect

Question

The MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_XXX attributes all say they are "Desktop only", when I do indeed see attributes like MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_DXGI_MANAGER being used in other Metro samples.  I believe some of these are "Desktop only", just not all of them.

This seems to be true for MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_CREATE flags also.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Hello,

Would you please help us to find out which sample in this list contains the MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_DXGI_MANAGER as you said.
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/

I check the MediaExtensions and Media engine native C++ sample, but did not find it.

Best regards,
Jesse

Try http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Media-Engine-Playback-ce1c82f0

You will find MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_DXGI_MANAGER, MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_CALLBACK and MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_FORMAT in meplayer.cpp.

Answer 3

Hello imorrill,

You are correct. Some of these attributes are mismarked as "desktop only". Thank you very much for reporting this.

Jessie,

Can you file a documentation bug against these? If you need help filing the bug let me know and I can help.

Thanks,

James

Thanks for reporting this. It appears that all of the Media Engine attributes are incorrectly marked. I have reported this to our team and hopefully it will get updated as appropriate.

Thanks,
