CMMFDevVideoPlay

[iit-developer]

Hi all,

i'm trying to use the devvideo library to decode frame by frame a mp4 video form filesystem.
I'm using the CMMFDevVideoPlay class but i can't initialize the decoder because the FindDecodersL method doesn't find an appropriate decoder for the mp4 file.It returns to me always KErrNotFound.
I' m trying to pass to this method this two codec as first parameter:

video/h263-2000 or video/mp4v-es

but the decoder can't be found.
I'm working on the S60 3rd FP2 Emulator. Can be the problem related to emulator itself?
This class allow to access to the video buffer so i can get the video frame one by one from this buffer isn't it?


Best regards

Yes. The emulator has limited multimedia capabilities in comparison to the actual devices.

Hi all,

also on the device, an E61, my application leave with KErrNotFound when the following line is executed:

iDevVideo->FindDecodersL(_L8("video/mp4v-es"), 0, decoders, EFalse);

where iDevVideo ia a poniter to CMMFDevVideoPlay and decoders is a RArray<TUid>.
The application leave with the same error also if i use:

iDevVideo->FindDecodersL(_L8("video/h263-2000"), 0, decoders, EFalse);

I want to play a mp4 file on my device...what codec should i use?

It is nice that you are using an FP2 SDK, and its plugin pack. Just the E61 (http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/E61) is an FP-less, "initial release" device, and the plugin pack for that SDK (and even the one for FP1) does not contain DevVideo API-s. So it is not a big surprise that the API, which is actually not available for your device, does not work as expected.

ok i will try on a FP2 device.
How can i get the video duration?

Dear all,

I'm trying the devvideoplay on a N96 (does this device support this lib???) but though the initialization of the decoder seems to be correct (the MdvpoInitComplete method of the MMMFDevVideoPlayObserver return a KErrNone) when i try to call the iDevVideo->GetSnapshotL or the iDevVideo->GetTimedSnapshotL the error -18 (KErrNotReady) is returned to me.
The code that i use for the decoder initialization is as follow:


RArray<TUid> decoders;
decoders.Reset();

iDevVideo->FindDecodersL(_L8("video/mp4v-es"), 0, decoders, EFalse); //or video/h263-2000

iDevice = iDevVideo->SelectDecoderL( decoders[0] );

// Set the decoder device's input format

CCompressedVideoFormat* inputFormat =
CCompressedVideoFormat::NewL(_L8("video/mp4v-es"));
iDevVideo->SetInputFormatL(iDevice, *inputFormat, EDuCodedPicture, EDuElementaryStream, ETrue);

// Query the device for its valid output formats
RArray<TUncompressedVideoFormat> outputFormats;
iDevVideo->GetOutputFormatListL(iDevice, outputFormats);

// Tell the decoder about the frame size, etc. by giving it a header.
TVideoPictureHeader header = {0};
header.iProfile = 0;
header.iLevel = 20;
header.iVersion = -1;
header.iSizeInMemory.iWidth = 176; //TODO: da cambiare
header.iSizeInMemory.iHeight = 144;
header.iDisplayedRect.SetRect(TPoint(0,0),TSize(176,144));

iDevVideo->ConfigureDecoderL(header);

iDevVideo->Initialize();




Is that wrong?

Dear all,

is the devvideo library already supported in a N96 or to get this library working i have to load the devvideo.dll in my project .
I know that this library is not part of the public SDK but otherwise is presents in supplementary SDK 3RD FP2 PLUG_IN pack.
What i have to do if i want to use this library?
Please help me...

Best regards
