[gst-devel] [WINDOWS] directdrawsink problem

[Sébastien Moutte]

Hey,
If you want directdrawsink to display the video on your own window, you 
have to give to it a valid win32 window handle (same as returned by 
FindWindow function for example).
The error message you are getting is due to an invalid window ID i think.
So your problem is to get a valid window handle for your drawing aera.
Regards,
Sebastien

When I try to debug my application, I 've observed that the sink is not completely solve : no link is make with my sink, "vbin" and my playbin contrary to if I was using a fakesink or if I don't specify an output window and where GStreamer will build itself a window and play the video.
