Hello.
I created 2 dynamic link libraries for easy video playback and drawing TTF font in Direct 3D 9 driver in Irrlicht. It uses DirectShow and Overlay.

Download here.

TTF Library:

Code: Select all


Font_SetDevice((LPVOID)driver->getExposedVideoData().D3D9.D3DDev9); //At first you must call this function

//load a Font
CIrrDXFont font("Trajan Pro",24);
//draw text
font.Draw("Some text",0,0,640,100,0xFF00CCFF);//text,x,y,w,h,color(0xAABBGGRR)

Video library:

Code: Select all


SExposedVideoData evd = driver->getExposedVideoData();
LPVOID cinHandle = PlayMovie((HWND)evd.D3D9.HWnd,"movie.avi",TRUE,evd.D3D9.D3D9,evd.D3D9.D3DDev9);

if(!cinHandle) return 0;

PauseMovie(cinHandle,FALSE); //starts playback

SetForegroundWindow((HWND)evd.D3D9.HWnd);

while(device->run())
{
	if(!OnFrame(cinHandle))
		break;

}

FreeMovie(cinHandle);

Imo you should do all those casts within your functions. If the passed driver isn't D3D9 throw some error and you're done.

Ok. It's only for D3D9. You cannot select other driver, but you're right. I'll add it into DLLs.

And please, send me info about all crashes and bugs.

P.S.: You can use this:

Code: Select all

LPVOID cinHandle = PlayMovie(hWnd,"movie.avi",FALSE,NULL,NULL);
//This create new internal D3D9 device and destroy it when playing is complete
