Purpose

• Required:  No
• Type of Change:  Feature

Plugins can now access FrameGrabber to capture video streams inside MediaPortals video renderer.

This change was added to support the Atmolight plugin (Atmolight / Atmowin Ambiance lights) so that the MediaPortal core no longer needs to be modified, however it may also be useful for other plugins as well.

Description of Change

This change gives plugin developers the possibility to subscribe to DirectShow to capture the video frames. The full video frame will be sent to the plugin so the developer needs to consider the performance load. The event itself will publish the following frame parameters:

• width

• height

• arWidth

• arHeight

• pSurface
