wxMediaCtrl fails to load any media

[art-ganseforth]

Hey folks,

i've just a simple test-program using wx 3.1.2 / MinGW32, that creates a wxMediaCtrl inside a wxFrame:

Code: Select all

#include <wx/wx.h>
#include <wx/mediactrl.h>

class MyApp: public wxApp {
    virtual bool OnInit();
};


IMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp)


class MyFrame : public wxFrame {
    public:
        MyFrame(const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size);
        
        wxMediaCtrl *CTRLmedia;
        void OnMediaLoad(wxMediaEvent &ev);
};


bool MyApp::OnInit() {
    MyFrame *frame = new MyFrame( _("Test"), wxPoint(50, 50), wxSize(450, 350));

    frame->Show(true);
    SetTopWindow(frame);

    return true;
}

void MyFrame::OnMediaLoad(wxMediaEvent &ev) {
    wxMessageBox("Load");
} 

MyFrame::MyFrame(const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size) : wxFrame( NULL, -1, title, pos, size ) {
                      
    CTRLmedia = new wxMediaCtrl(this, -1, "", wxPoint(0,0), wxSize(100,100), 0, "");
    CTRLmedia->ShowPlayerControls(wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS_STEP);
    CTRLmedia->Connect(wxEVT_MEDIA_LOADED, wxMediaEventHandler(MyFrame::OnMediaLoad),NULL, this);
    
    if (!CTRLmedia->Load ("F:\\drop.avi")) {
        wxMessageBox("Loading failed");     
        exit(0);
    }
    SetClientSize(CTRLmedia->GetBestSize());
}

This was a test from 2019 for later implemenation in a bigger project. I think (but i'm) not sure i used wx 2.9.7 or 2.9.3 and it was working.
Now, it fails to load any media. I tested different meditypes, but Load() always returns false.

Any ideay why?



Thank you,

Hi,
Can you reproduce it with the media sample?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The resault is some more information:
The Create()-call (line 1497) fails already. But why?

FWIW, I tried a couple weeks old master on Win10 (built with 32-bit mingw-64 with GCC 8.1). The media sample could play a random MP3 and AVI files I tried.
