MediaPlayer

[fearless]

A basic media player application written in x86 and x64 assembler that utilizes the MFPlayer-Library - which consists of functions that wrap the MFPlay COM implementation of the IMFPMediaPlayer and IMFPMediaItem objects.

Hi fearless,

My compliments, very nice work

[fearless]

Thanks.

There is more features that could be added to it or design changes like proper fullscreen without the controls at the bottom - which was a design choice as I didnt want to go to that length of effort to hide/show them when the mouse was over the video window etc. And stuff like playlist support could be added. But the MediaPlayer application is mainly to verify that the MFPlayer library works ok, but could be a basis for a more fully featured media player in future, or it could be all wrapped up in a single custom control.

Excellent, my compliments

Ctrl O seems not to work here on Win10, and I couldn't open a *.ogg file that opens fine with Windows. You might add dragging files on the window.

Otherwise flawless and cute

Wow, exciting work, congrats!

PS can't eat japanese hieroglyphs  in movies names any chance?

Thanks.

@jj2007 - unfortunately the Microsoft Media Foundation doesn't seem to support .ogg files. Just these one listed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/medfound/supported-media-formats-in-media-foundation

Drag and drop is included in it, but from reports it seems it might not be working for some people. I found a few interesting forum posts and blogs relating to drag and drop not working properly: https://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=5852.0 and https://helgeklein.com/blog/how-to-enable-drag-and-drop-for-an-elevated-mfc-application-on-vistawindows-7/

So I guess I will look into that and use the findings there to adjust, and hopefully it will work for others. Currently I'm running Win10 Pro with a user with admin rights and UAC disabled, which is probably why it seems to work for me.

@greenozon - working on Unicode versions right now, which hopefully will tackle the issues raised on the github repo.

unfortunately the Microsoft Media Foundation doesn't seem to support .ogg files.

I vaguely remember that I had to install a codec pack to make them run.

[greenozon]

Will it render modern videos encoed by H.265, AV1, or more newwer one?

[fearless]

If you have the hevc codec installed it should work: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-open-heic-and-hevc-files-windows-10s-photos-app

I have the paid hevc codec version from the Microsoft store (few euros) and it displays a .mkv file with the codec: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC H.265 (shown in vlc the codec info)

[satpro]

I really like your coding style.  Concise.

The program runs fine on Win 11.  It's FAST.  I tested a bunch of files without a glitch.

[greenozon]

OMG
there is already H.266 (AKA  VVC codec)

did you give it a try as well?

[greenozon]

I"ve found a very nice collection of modern codec small video samples:  https://www.elecard.com/videos

it plays only H.264 out of that zoo, unfortunately...

any chance to add support?
(MPC-HC plays 100%)
