Access violation reading location 0x00000000. [Directshow][CF]

[jetonosmani]

Hello everbody,

I have a simple question i copy/paste this code below one to one from the Microsoft page and its
not working. I tried everything from a to z and
cant get this dummy thing going.

I get an access violation at this stage:
pGraphBuilder->RenderFile(L"\\test.wmv", NULL);

Any help would very much appreciate

Rgds & thks
#include <dshow.h>
void __cdecl main(void)
{
IGraphBuilder *pGraphBuilder;
IMediaControl *pMediaControl;
CoInitialize(NULL);

CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FilterGraph, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC,
IID_IGraphBuilder, (void **)&pGraphBuilder);
pGraphBuilder->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaControl,
(void **)&pMediaControl);

pGraphBuilder->RenderFile(L"\\test.wmv", NULL);

pMediaControl->Run();

MessageBox(NULL, "Click OK to end playback.", "DirectShow", MB_OK);

pMediaControl->Release();
pGraphBuilder->Release();
CoUninitialize();
}

What version of Windows do you have?

If it's not WinCE, have you tried specifying the drive letter? Example:

L"C:\\test.wmv"

Not just any access violation, but a null pointer exception.
What's the value of pGraphBuilder? Why don't you check the
HRESULTs of the calls?

Thanks first of all,

I'm using wm5 therefore the first suggestion will not work.
Secondly i checked the hresults they look strange.

Before:
hr: 0 {S_OK}
after:
hr: -2147220970

the pgraphbuilder/ifitlergraph/iuknown look before and after the same.

Rgds & many thks

HRESULT: 0x80040216 (2147746326)
Name: VFW_E_NOT_FOUND
Description: An object or name was not found.
Severity code: Failed
Facility Code: FACILITY_ITF (4)
Error Code: 0x0216 (534)

Are you sure the \\test.wmv file exists? Is WM5 case sensitive?

[DerMitDerMausKlickt]

I just rechecked the file is in each folder, no success no idea why as
said after that line the hr refers to a -21xxx number. Could it be
that my phone htc P4350/herald is not supporting this?

thks

I tried now with another device and receive at least more error
messages:

Maybe somebody can help, the hr says a share violation has occured.
I tried with wmv file and asf!!! Do i need to ren it in a seperate
thread?

The Error due to access violation occurs when the filter name mentioned in the code does not match with the filter list in the graph edit or ffmpeg list.You should ensure that you have given the name of the filter correctly in your code
