Topic: BASS_DSHOW Video Library

[The Mask]

Yep now it works 

Is there no help and samples on how it should work?

[Erazer]

Works ? I can't play or extract sound from avi. It does not work with avi files like bass with *.wav for example 

[Ionut Cristea]

  I will add BASS_Decode flag to BASS_DSHOW that user can extract audio from video.
PS: It has one bug when trying to set position(i will fix it soon).

Sharky,

Can you please provide some documentation for Bass_DSHOW, even if it's just a text file with a list of the function definitions. I've just downloaded the latest version from the megaupload site, and the .rar file contains only the bass_DSHOW.dll - no other files. I tried to use it with my test app and immediately got the error "Can't find DLL entry point BASS_DSHOW_INIT in Bass_DSHOW.dll". I then tried the new dll with your demo program and that fails immediately with a Windows-detected error.

[Ionut Cristea]

Off course...i will add a helpl for bass_ dshow today

[praveen]

Can you provide the API for Bass_Dshow. Will this API be added to Bass.NET ?

[radio42]

Yes, it will be added to BASS.NET - but I am still waiting on a finished API.
There are a still a couple of things to solve first within BASS_DSHOW, like consistent Function naming convention, being a true BASS plug-in etc.

I currently use BASS_Video as a plugin for a video player.  I would like to switch to something more stable and supportable.  I write in VB6.   From what I can tell this looks pretty good.   It would be nice if there was a central link for the latest code which would include the latest DLL as well as all sample source and demos.

I use the BASS_DECODE flag to decode the audio stream to use with our custome DSP for audio.  Would need to do the same with this plugin too.

Sharky,

I only see the following four functions in latest c++ bass plugin bass_dshow.dll.
BASS_DSHOW_GETLENGHT
BASS_DSHOW_INIT
BASS_DSHOW_RenderFile
BASS_DSHOW_SETPOSITION

I did not understand how to integrate or use bass_dshow as a plugin with the bass library. Right now bass_dshow looks like an independent component without any dependency on the bass library and we cannot use any of the nice features of bass library. Correct me if I am wrong.

 Instead of providing the source file to bass_dshow_renderfile, is it possible to add api's like BASS_DSHOW_StreamCreateFile, BASS_DSHOW_StreamCreateFileUser, Bass_DSHOW_PLAY and few other functions available in bass library to the bass_dshow c++ plugin..

Thanks a lot for all the effort you have been putting into this plugin.

I think you have to sit and wait because sharky is working hard porting bass_dshow as fully bass plugin.

As you can see he sometimes publish a new test version, so the best thing we can do is to test it and report him all the bugs. Bass_dshow is not a fully working bass plugin right now, but probably it will be in the future.

[jeffdavis]

"hardly working"  or do you mean "working hard"   there is a big difference in the meaning.

[Ionut Cristea]

  BASS_DSHOW is almost a Bass plugin....it have one bug: the application crash when is trying to set the position.

Cheers, Sharky.

[Ionut Cristea]

Hi all...BASS_DSHOW is in finnaly a truely BASS plugin Check the first post for download.

[Erazer]

every time says error code 41 - can't play the file.. even previous byggy version allowed to play something

Which link should we use to download the latest version? Why files dated by year 2008?! Why in your demos you use bass 2.4.0.1 instead 2.4.5.0 ?

Code: [Select]

chan:= BASS_DSHOW_OpenMovie(opendialog1.Files[0]);
  BASS_DSHOW_PLAY;
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
BASS_INIT(-1,44100,0,handle,0);
BASS_DSHOW_Init(handle);
Mean it's still does not work like bass plugin  

Code: [Select]

BASS_DSHOW_PLAY; I do not need

Code: [Select]

play I need

Code: [Select]

Bass_StreamCreateFile(FALSE, pchar(FilePath), 0, 0, Bass_Stream_Decode or BASS_UNICODE); to just get sound from movie and save it into wav/mp3wma or any other format...

[Ionut Cristea]

Wow...what link did you used? Check the first post for downloading.

[Erazer]

I' not so stupid  I checked BOTH links (x32) from the first page of topic.

[Ionut Cristea]

 Did you try with demo or demo2 examples?

PS: in the delphi example is never called BASS_DSHOW functions like: BASS_DSHOW_Init(handle);
BASS_DSHOW_PLAY;

BASS_DSHOW_OpenMovie-is not longer a function of BASS_DSHOW since the first time i've begin work at this plugin.

[Erazer]

What exactly you mean? Your demos, really play and produce sound, I just tryed to add your dll to my project, and it say can't play.. It seems because of it is not initialized.. But you said it works like bass plugin 

[Erazer]

Never

[Ionut Cristea]

Ohh,i see.you have downloaded the first version of BASS_DSHOW

Download BASS_DSHOW from the first link or this: http://filezone.ro/public.php?action=viewfile&file_id=22752

[Erazer]

Could you make simple thing... If you say, it works like bass plugin could you make checks if your plugin works with writewav sample ? I just add your dll, select avi file (which is played by your demos) and try to get wav file from it. But do not get anything

[Ionut Cristea]

No BASS_DSHOW can't create a stream with DECODE flag yet. For now you can use BASS_DSHOW as a bass plugin except extracting audio.

Cheers, Sharky.

[Erazer]

I will wait, with pleasure 

[Ionut Cristea]

 Some new functions to BASS_DSHOW has been implemented. Check the first post for detailes.

[Erazer]

Please do not forget to inform when it would work like usual bass plugin...
