I agree. I'm sorry Sir, we don't support that version here. Please contact your vendor.Originally posted by DimPrawnThat's far too technical for the numpties here.

Windows Media Player Plug-in
I am new to WMP Plug-in. I want to design a MPEG4 decoder to be pluged in to WMP. I use DSP Plug-in and register it as follows and expect WMP to pass input media file directly to my Plug-in for decoding. When I debug it, the Plug-in is registerd, but it is not instantiated by WMP. WMP says it may not support media type. Instead of MEDIATYPE_Stream, I use MEDIATYPE_Audio,
the Plug-in works and is inserted at the backend before audio renderer. How can I insert it at the frontend of WMP?
Thanks!
// Describe the type of data handled by the plug-in
DMO_PARTIAL_MEDIATYPE mt = { 0 };
mt.type = MEDIATYPE_Stream;
mt.subtype = MEDIASUBTYPE_QTMovie;
