This example is a video playback application which uses DirectShow, a COM-based API.
The application is composed of 3 windows:
WndMain– the main application window, which hosts the other 2 windows;WndTracker– the progress bar at the bottom;WndVideo– hosts the DirectShow objects and renders the video.
Note that the application includes no video codecs on its own: it will use video codecs already installed on your machine. If you try to load a video to which you don't have the proper codec, it will fail.
Supported files: AVI, MKV and MP4.
The following keyboard shortcuts are implemented:
- Ctrl+O – open a video file;
- Left or right – go backwards or forwards 10 seconds;
- Space – play or pause;
- Esc – close the application.
To compile and run:
cargo run
To generate the final executable:
cargo build --release
