I'm going to follow this It's always cool to see new clients being developed, can drive innovation in others and all round knowledge sharing!

Message System (Messages, Notifications, Commands and Queries) implemented Now Settings system and UI Controls will follow.

Also the first developer was found who will help with this project

Settings system finished. So the framework is almost finished (of course new properties and methods will be implemented on demand)

So currently it is possible to run mediaPrime, find all Plugins, load and show Plugins, communicate with Plugins (and communication between Plugins), load and save settings of mediaPrime and all Plugins

So now I'm developing the UI controls, which can be controlled by keyboard, mouse and remote control. Then the actual work begins

Edit: Forgot to mention that logging from mediaPrime and from Plugins is working, too!

At least the combination of WPF+MediaFoundation was one main reason to develop an own skin engine (MP2's MPF) that supports DX(9) and DirectShow (due to the lack of MediaFoundation (MF) codecs and features some years ago).

I think you might find a way to either only use MF or need to code some interop routines to use DirectShow in WPF.

Thanks for the info! I have no knowledge about this topic, I only searched a bit and I know it could be not easy :-D I was wondering whether it could work with SharpDX, etc. So as I saw it would be possible to play a video with SharpDX (or SlimDX) and it would be also possible to render DirectX (SharpDX/SlimDX) within a WPF application. So wouldn't it be possible to combine those things? With WinForms it should be work, and in a pinch I can host the WinForms control in WPF (with airspace issues...)

A very, very, very, very early version of the UI:

The video, which is played after clicking on "TV" is not playing smooth due to the fact that Camtasia is using lower frame rate!
