I can't answer your questions, only tell you what I have seen and read. 1. All the third-party directshow filters I have seen result in WMP showing My conclusions would be 1. Microsoft have designed a crappy API for directshow filters to make this While I find this annoying from a cosmetic point of view, it has not Note: I exclusively use Apple Lossless format tracks in WMP, Apple Lossless On 20/2/09 01:11, in article > I'm the current maintainer of Directshow Filters for Ogg Vorbis, > Alex Zambelly wrote back in 2003 (http://tinyurl.com/bama4j) > I have dumped all the interfaces that Windows Media Player 11 queries > INFO: NonDelegatingQueryInterface: {56A86895-0AD4-11CE- > There are two unknown interfaces {3C43D14F-25B3-4E34-A36C- > This metadata should be added by somebody in the database, like Jim > WMP Tag Support Extender (http://wmptagext.sourceforge.net/) project > Windows Media Player 10 Mobile uses information acquired from > Another problem I'm facing is that if I try to play a FLAC file > If I play the file directly by invoking "%programfiles%\windows media > If I have made a playlist and play the file from there the duration is > Many thanks,
a duration of zero seconds until you start playing the track
2. Articles I have seen suggest Microsoft's position is that it is the
directshow filter at fault for not providing the correct information to WMP
3. The only music format I have tried and seen correctly work was MP3 using
the built-in MP3 directshow filter provided by Microsoft (I have never used
WMA but would expect that to work as well for the same reason)
so troublesome
2. Microsoft have failed to document how to do this properly or provide
examples showing how to do it properly, they could have done this by
providing a fully documented copy of their MP3 (or WMA) directshow filter
with freely available source code
impacted on my use since I don't seek through tracks other than by dragging
the timebar in WMP which works for me.
is stored in MPEG4 .m4a file format and uses MPEG4 meta-tags for which I use
the wmptagext plugin you refer to. This does result in the zero duration
problem you describe but they otherwise work for me.
