65 @class wxMediaCtrl
7c913512 66
ba1d7a6c
FM
67 wxMediaCtrl is a class for displaying types of media, such as videos, audio
68 files, natively through native codecs.
7c913512 69
23324ae1 70 wxMediaCtrl uses native backends to render media, for example on Windows
7c913512 71 there is a ActiveMovie/DirectShow backend, and on Macintosh there is a
23324ae1 72 QuickTime backend.
7c913512 73
7c913512 74
ba1d7a6c 75 @section mediactrl_rendering_media Rendering media
5c3a762d
FM
76
77 Depending upon the backend, wxMediaCtrl can render and display pretty much any
78 kind of media that the native system can - such as an image, mpeg video, or mp3
79 (without license restrictions - since it relies on native system calls that may
80 not technically have mp3 decoding available, for example, it falls outside
81 the realm of licensing restrictions).
82
83 For general operation, all you need to do is call Load() to load the file you
84 want to render, catch the @c EVT_MEDIA_LOADED event, and then call Play()
85 to show the video/audio of the media in that event.
86
8cddee2d 87 More complex operations are generally more heavily dependent on the capabilities
5c3a762d
FM
88 of the backend. For example, QuickTime cannot set the playback rate of certain
89 streaming media - while DirectShow is slightly more flexible in that regard.
90
ba1d7a6c 91 @section mediactrl_operation Operation
5c3a762d
FM
92
93 When wxMediaCtrl plays a file, it plays until the stop position is reached
94 (currently the end of the file/stream). Right before it hits the end of the stream,
95 it fires off a @c EVT_MEDIA_STOP event to its parent window, at which point the event
96 handler can choose to veto the event, preventing the stream from actually stopping.
97
98 Example:
99
100 @code
101 //connect to the media event
102 this->Connect(wxMY_ID, wxEVT_MEDIA_STOP, (wxObjectEventFunction)
103 (wxEventFunction)(wxMediaEventFunction) &MyFrame::OnMediaStop);
104
105 //...
106 void MyFrame::OnMediaStop(const wxMediaEvent& evt)
107 {
108 if(bUserWantsToSeek)
109 {
110 m_mediactrl->SetPosition(
111 m_mediactrl->GetDuration() << 1
112 );
113 evt.Veto();
114 }
115 }
116 @endcode
117
ba1d7a6c
FM
118 When wxMediaCtrl stops, either by the @c EVT_MEDIA_STOP not being vetoed, or
119 by manually calling Stop(), where it actually stops is not at the beginning,
120 rather, but at the beginning of the stream. That is, when it stops and play
57ab6f23 121 is called, playback is guaranteed to start at the beginning of the media.
ba1d7a6c 122 This is because some streams are not seekable, and when stop is called on
57ab6f23 123 them they return to the beginning, thus wxMediaCtrl tries to keep consistent
ba1d7a6c
FM
124 for all types of media.
125
126 Note that when changing the state of the media through Play() and other methods,
127 the media may not actually be in the @c wxMEDIASTATE_PLAYING, for example.
128 If you are relying on the media being in certain state catch the event relevant
129 to the state. See wxMediaEvent for the kinds of events that you can catch.
130
131
132 @section mediactrl_video_size Video size
133
134 By default, wxMediaCtrl will scale the size of the video to the requested
135 amount passed to either its constructor or Create().
57ab6f23 136 After calling wxMediaCtrl::Load or performing an equivalent operation,
ba1d7a6c
FM
137 you can subsequently obtain the "real" size of the video (if there is any)
138 by calling wxMediaCtrl::GetBestSize(). Note that the actual result on the
139 display will be slightly different when wxMediaCtrl::ShowPlayerControls is
57ab6f23 140 activated and the actual video size will be less than specified due to the
ba1d7a6c
FM
141 extra controls provided by the native toolkit.
142 In addition, the backend may modify wxMediaCtrl::GetBestSize() to include
143 the size of the extra controls - so if you want the real size of the video
144 just disable wxMediaCtrl::ShowPlayerControls().
145
146 The idea with setting wxMediaCtrl::GetBestSize() to the size of the video is
147 that GetBestSize() is a wxWindow-derived function that is called when sizers
148 on a window recalculate.
149 What this means is that if you use sizers by default the video will show in
150 its original size without any extra assistance needed from the user.
151
152
153 @section mediactrl_player_controls Player controls
154
155 Normally, when you use wxMediaCtrl it is just a window for the video to play in.
156 However, some toolkits have their own media player interface.
157 For example, QuickTime generally has a bar below the video with a slider.
158 A special feature available to wxMediaCtrl, you can use the toolkits interface
159 instead of making your own by using the ShowPlayerControls() function.
160 There are several options for the flags parameter, with the two general flags
161 being @c wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS_NONE which turns off the native interface,
162 and @c wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS_DEFAULT which lets wxMediaCtrl decide what
163 native controls on the interface.
164 Be sure to review the caveats outlined in @ref mediactrl_video_size before doing so.
165
166
167 @section mediactrl_choosing_backend Choosing a backend
168
169 Generally, you should almost certainly leave this part up to wxMediaCtrl -
170 but if you need a certain backend for a particular reason, such as QuickTime
171 for playing .mov files, all you need to do to choose a specific backend is
172 to pass the name of the backend class to wxMediaCtrl::Create().
5c3a762d
FM
173
174 The following are valid backend identifiers:
175
ba1d7a6c
FM
176 - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_DIRECTSHOW: Use ActiveMovie/DirectShow.
177 Uses the native ActiveMovie (I.E. DirectShow) control.
178 Default backend on Windows and supported by nearly all Windows versions,
179 even some Windows CE versions.
180 May display a windows media player logo while inactive.
181 - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_QUICKTIME: Use QuickTime. Mac Only.
182 WARNING: May not working correctly embedded in a wxNotebook.
183 - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_GSTREAMER, Use GStreamer. Unix Only.
184 Requires GStreamer 0.8 along with at the very least the xvimagesink, xoverlay,
185 and gst-play modules of gstreamer to function.
57ab6f23 186 You need the correct modules to play the relevant files, for example the
ba1d7a6c
FM
187 mad module to play mp3s, etc.
188 - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_WMP10, Uses Windows Media Player 10 (Windows only) -
189 works on mobile machines with Windows Media Player 10 and desktop machines
190 with either Windows Media Player 9 or 10.
191
192 Note that other backends such as wxMEDIABACKEND_MCI can now be found at
193 wxCode (http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/).
194
195
196 @section mediactrl_creating_backend Creating a backend
197
198 Creating a backend for wxMediaCtrl is a rather simple process.
199 Simply derive from wxMediaBackendCommonBase and implement the methods you want.
200 The methods in wxMediaBackend correspond to those in wxMediaCtrl except for
201 wxMediaCtrl::CreateControl which does the actual creation of the control,
202 in cases where a custom control is not needed you may simply call wxControl::Create().
5c3a762d 203
ba1d7a6c 204 You need to make sure to use the @c DECLARE_CLASS and @c IMPLEMENT_CLASS macros.
5c3a762d 205
ba1d7a6c
FM
206 The only real tricky part is that you need to make sure the file in compiled in,
207 which if there are just backends in there will not happen and you may need to
208 use a force link hack (see http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/RTTI).
5c3a762d 209
ba1d7a6c
FM
210 This is a rather simple example of how to create a backend in the
211 wxActiveXContainer documentation.
