In form1 i just have a simple button click event:
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Elgato_Video_Capture evc = new Elgato_Video_Capture();
evc.Show();
}
Then in the new form in designer i added a pictureBox. And the new form code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace Test

public partial class Elgato_Video_Capture : Form

ICaptureGraphBuilder2 captureGraph;
IBaseFilter elgatoFilter;
IBaseFilter smartTeeFilter;
IBaseFilter videoRendererFilter;

string error = "";
public Elgato_Video_Capture()
{
InitializeComponent();
try
{
//Set the video size to use for capture and recording
videoSize = new Size(1280, 720);
//Initialize filter graph and capture graph
graph = (IFilterGraph2)new FilterGraph();
captureGraph = (ICaptureGraphBuilder2)new CaptureGraphBuilder2();
captureGraph.SetFiltergraph(graph);
//rot = new DsROTEntry(graph);
//Create filter for Elgato
Guid elgatoGuid = new Guid("39F50F4C-99E1-464A-B6F9-D605B4FB5918");
Type comType = Type.GetTypeFromCLSID(elgatoGuid);
elgatoFilter = (IBaseFilter)Activator.CreateInstance(comType);
graph.AddFilter(elgatoFilter, "Elgato Video Capture Filter");
//Create smart tee filter, add to graph, connect Elgato's video out to smart tee in
smartTeeFilter = (IBaseFilter)new SmartTee();
graph.AddFilter(smartTeeFilter, "Smart Tee");
IPin outPin = GetPin(elgatoFilter, "Video"); //GetPin(PinDirection.Output, "Video", elgatoFilter);
IPin inPin = GetPin(elgatoFilter, "Video");//GetPin(PinDirection.Input, smartTeeFilter);
graph.Connect(outPin, inPin);
//Create video renderer filter, add it to graph, connect smartTee Preview pin to video renderer's input pin
videoRendererFilter = (IBaseFilter)new VideoRenderer();
graph.AddFilter(videoRendererFilter, "Video Renderer");
outPin = GetPin(elgatoFilter, "Video");//GetPin(PinDirection.Output, "Preview", smartTeeFilter);
inPin = GetPin(elgatoFilter, "Video");//GetPin(PinDirection.Input, videoRendererFilter);
graph.Connect(outPin, inPin);

captureGraph.RenderStream(PinCategory.Preview, MediaType.Video, videoRendererFilter, null, null);
//Set the video preview to be the videoFeed panel
IVideoWindow vw = (IVideoWindow)graph;
vw.put_Owner(pictureBox1.Handle);
vw.put_MessageDrain(this.Handle);
vw.put_WindowStyle(WindowStyle.Child | WindowStyle.ClipSiblings | WindowStyle.ClipChildren);
vw.SetWindowPosition(0, 0, 1280, 720);
//Start the preview
IMediaControl mediaControl = graph as IMediaControl;
mediaControl.Run();
}
catch (Exception err)
{
error = err.ToString();
}
}
static IPin GetPin(IBaseFilter filter, string pinname)
{
IEnumPins epins;
int hr = filter.EnumPins(out epins);
checkHR(hr, "Can't enumerate pins");
IntPtr fetched = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(4);
IPin[] pins = new IPin[1];
while (epins.Next(1, pins, fetched) == 0)
{
PinInfo pinfo;
pins[0].QueryPinInfo(out pinfo);
bool found = (pinfo.name == pinname);
DsUtils.FreePinInfo(pinfo);
if (found)
return pins[0];
}
checkHR(-1, "Pin not found");
return null;
}
public static void checkHR(int hr, string msg)
{
if (hr < 0)
{
MessageBox.Show(msg);
DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR(hr);
}
}
private void Elgato_Video_Capture_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
When running the program and showing the form i can hear the sounds of detecting the device in the usb. But after that when the form is showing i don't see anything just the form and nothing on the pictureBox1.
I don't get any errors or exceptions.
