ofVideoPlayer "unable to call GetConnectedMediaType" (Windows) #5114
Description
I attempted to load and play a simple mp4 file and this is was the log reads:
unable to call GetConnectedMediaType
[ error ] ofDirectShowPlayer: Cannot load video of this file type. Make sure you have codecs installed on your system. OF recommends the free K-Lite Codec pack.
Despite being able to play mp4's on the the desktop, I downloaded the standard codec package from: http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
And it did nothing.
Here is the full code
void ofApp::setup(){
vid.load("video.mp4");
//vid.loadMovie("video.mp4");
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::update(){
vid.update();
}
void ofApp::draw(){
vid.draw(100, 100);
}
void ofApp::keyPressed(int key){
switch (key)
{
case 'a':
vid.play();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
and of course in ofApp.h there is
ofVideoPlayer vid;
