I had dreading moments looking for a way to get the videoplay back working on win32 windows 8.1 and windows 10. Things became even more annoying since i had to deal with managed c++ and native c++ to integrate the playback.
Finally got something working. and thought it would be best to share with the community. CCVideoManager.zip (10.1 KB)
I have also created a GitHub Repository with an example. if anyone wants to make changes feel free to do so. (I am not the great programmer and i know there are some issues that I can't seem to figure out the solution for it).
Alright! that's out of the way, allow me to explain how to play videos on the platforms mentioned above.
- Copy and paste the CCMediaPlayer.h/.cpp and CCVideoManager.h/.cpp files into your project directory.
- add the #include "CCVideoManager.h" where you want to call the VideoManager
- Use "
CCVideoManager::Instance()->PlayVideo("fileDirectory/yourvideo");" to start playback.- After the movie playback finishes itself, it will CCMediaPlayer will remove itself from the view.
- Make sure to destroy the CCVideoManager before exiting the app by calling "
CCVideoManager::Instance()->DestroyInstance();"Known issue
Although every thing seems to be working fine on Win32 app, For some reason, I can not seem to free the memory after releasing ether the CCMediaPlayer or/and the actual Control::Panel on Win8.1 and win10. I found this to be very weird since I been told that c++/cx should automatically delete the objects once the reference count reaches to zero. I have a feeling that it maybe because of a different thread but I am not an expert on this topic so it would be best if someone could take a look.
