Hey all, I'm trying to use DirectShow to display videos [I'm kind of new to Python, from more of a C++ background on windows]. I found some sample code online, but I am having trouble with calling the I
import ctypes from ctypes import * from comtypes import client from ctypes.wintypes import * import sys import time filename = sys.argv[1] qedit = client.GetModule('qedit.dll') # DexterLib quartz= client.GetModule("quartz.dll") CLSID_FilterGraph = '{e436ebb3-524f-11ce-9f53-0020af0ba770}' filter_graph = client.CreateObject(CLSID_FilterGraph,interface=qedit.IFilterGraph) filter_builder = filter_graph.QueryInterface(qedit.IGraphBuilder) filter_builder.RenderFile(filename, None) media_control = filter_graph.QueryInterface(quartz.IMediaControl) media_control.Run() try: # Look at IMediaEvent interface for EOS notification while True: time.sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt: pass # Need these because finalisers don't have enough context to clean up after # themselves when script exits. del media_control del filter_builder del filter_graph This code works fine. What I would like to know, is how do I declare filename in the Python program to be of type LPCWSTR, so that I don't need to parse the command line in order to call the function "RenderFile()"? -Sayanan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
