Anyone got IVideoPlugin working?

[jorm]

below is my render method for a caller id plugin. I see that the mode is set correctly.

The section in bold is invoked. The image is correct I can save it to a file. I return it, but I never see it on top of the video. I do implement the IVideoPlugin interface and have it in the config.xml I see all of the other methods get invoked.

Ideas?

public Image render(out bool requiresMoreRendering)
{
requiresMoreRendering = false;
renderAgain = false;

// reset clickable regions
clickableNames = new Hashtable();

// alpha blend with background
float[][] matrixItems ={ // Note the value 0.8 in row 4, column 4.
new float[] {1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
new float[] {0, 1, 0, 0, 0},
new float[] {0, 0, 1, 0, 0},
new float[] {0, 0, 0, 0.8f, 0},
new float[] {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}};
ColorMatrix colorMatrix = new ColorMatrix(matrixItems);

ImageAttributes imageAttr = new ImageAttributes();
imageAttr.SetColorMatrix(
colorMatrix,
ColorMatrixFlag.Default,
ColorAdjustType.Bitmap);

// prepare background

// foregroundImage = new Bitmap(720,480);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(foregroundImage);

// g.Clear(Color.Transparent);
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;

Font generalFont = skinHelper.getNamedFont("GeneralText");
Brush generalFontBrush = skinHelper.getNamedFontBrush("GeneralText");
Font selectedGeneralFont = skinHelper.getNamedFont("SelectedGeneralText");
Brush selectedGeneralFontBrush = skinHelper.getNamedFontBrush("SelectedGeneralText");
Brush selectionBrush = skinHelper.getNamedBrush("Selection");


if ( this.bVideoMode )
{
string displayString = szLabel + "... (" + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString() + ")\n" + szName + _name + "\n" + szNumber + _number;


g = Graphics.FromImage(compositeScreenImage);
g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(GBPVR.Public.PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetOSDTransparentColor()),0,0,720,480);

//g.FillRectangle( new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new Rectangle(5, 105, 305, 25) );
g.DrawString( displayString, generalFont, generalFontBrush, new Rectangle(10, 100, 300, 20) );
Logger.Info("Drawing string " + displayString );
//return ( foregroundImage );
return ( compositeScreenImage );
} else
{
Graphics.FromImage(backgroundImage).DrawImage(backgroundPicture, 0,0,backgroundPicture.Width,backgroundPicture.Height);
g.Clear(Color.Transparent);


// g.DrawString( "Call Data " + szCallData, generalFont, generalFontBrush, new Rectangle(10, 10, 300, 20) );
// g.DrawString( "Adj Call Data " + szAdjustedCallData, generalFont, generalFontBrush, new Rectangle(10, 40, 300, 20 ) );
// g.DrawString( "Label " + szLabel, generalFont, generalFontBrush, new Rectangle(10, 70, 300, 20) );
g.DrawString( "Number " + szNumber, generalFont, generalFontBrush, new Rectangle(10, 100, 300, 20) );

Graphics.FromImage(backgroundImage).DrawImage(foregroundImage, new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0,0,720,480),0,0,720,480,GraphicsUnit.Pixel,imageAttr);
return ( backgroundImage );
}


// return blended result
return backgroundImage;
}

You added the plugin name to the video plugins list in the config.xml?

[jorm]

yes

I have logs in setVideoMode, needsToBeShown, needsToBeHidden

I see that they are invoked. Then the render is called.

If you can email me some sample code, I'll check it out and let you know what is going wrong.

Jorm, I have IVideo working in a soon-to-be-released (in beta test) plugin ... I'm not so good with the C#, but did do a quick lessons learned, attached, a kittle rough but maybe it will help. If not, you likely already have it fixed.

He's got it working now. It was just a small bug in his logic.

thanks again
