Can metro apps use custom mediasinks for video playback in mediafoundation?

Question

Hello,

Please tell me about video playback with Mediafoundation in metro apps.

I want to playback video using custom mediasink in metro apps .

so now I'm trying to add a custom mediasink to the media extensions sample that uploaded to the website below.

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Media-extensions-sample-7b466096

But, the MediaExtensionManager class has no method to load custom mediasinks.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br240987(v=VS.85).aspx

so my question is:

Can metro apps use custom mediasinks for video playback in mediafoundation? 

or, metro apps can not use custom mediasinks ?

thanks in advance!

You can follow up WavSink Sample

But you can not IMFFinalizableMediaSink interface in metro.

hi,jesse jiang.

I checked Wavsink Sample. It's use MediaSession.  for using mediasession , we must use MFCreateMediaSession function. But the function is for desktop apps only.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms700174(v=vs.85).aspx

So,for MetroAPP, I 'm trying to use MediaExtension instead of MediaSession.But, the MediaExtensionManager class has no method to load custom mediasinks.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br240987(v=VS.85).aspx

So, I asked this Question.

Mediaextensions can use MediaSinks?

Thanks
