[QUOTE="draktheas, post: 61597, member: 17330"] Ok, I suggest a separate thread be started if we want to discuss the possibility of taking a network streamed source and making a generic Directshow source filter for it. This is getting the thread completely off topic. As for work on the MDAPI plugin support for MP. I personally am not for using closed source for this. The reason to me is obvious, the whole MP project is open source and any wrapper that allows use of MDAPI plugins should be as well. I don't want code that no-one can support if Agarwal disappears. No offense Arg. Obviously, I have very strong feelings about this. I also believe that any MDAPI plugin wrapper for MP would be specifically coded for MP, as it is an adapter from MP to MDAPI. It doesn't make sense to me that this could be used in other applications. Unless what you have coded is just an MDAPI plugin that you have adapted to MP. In my opinion the proper flow for MDAPI support should be: MP->MP To MDAPI Adapter->MDAPI Plugin not MP->Hacked MDAPI Plugin Drak [/QUOTE]
