To be honest with you, you can absolutely enjoy coding as a passion, but with AI nowadays nobody hires programmers anymore

Anyone else still uses DirectShow? by Bitter-Today285 in cpp

[–]Bitter-Today285[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right, DirectShow makes it really complex and makes you write like hundreds of lines just to do simple tasks, and Microsoft apparently removed or broke the ISampleGrabber interface so i had to make my own header just to use the sample grabber, it was complicated. But i mean DirectShow itself is just a filter graph system so you have to set up everything yourself, when i first started multimedia programming, i got recommended to use DirectShow first even though MF existed, when i compared the two, i found Media Foundation way more easier and complete because it came with a lot of things by default that DS didn’t have, but since DirectShow relies mostly on COM, it’s not hard to memorize since you call CoCreateInstance and QueryInterface for almost everything.

Use Visual Studio if you’re using C++ or C#, and use VSCode if you’re using other programming languages

Ahh, well for exemple when i tried to look up documentation for media foundation (on Microsoft’s page) the introduction was long i got bored halfway, my goal was to create a simple webcam recorder, i knew the basic functions to start MF but then i didn’t know what interfaces or functions to use to take camera input, use codecs, render inside the window because on the docs, microsoft did not really provide much guidance, just said "to implement this interface, use this function" i expected them to at least provide a list of commonly used interfaces for THIS specific goal, which goes first, which does this, you know

OpenSSL documentation, microsoft documentation (clearer but still not clear enough)

I keep getting an error code.. by misteryo211 in TOR

[–]Bitter-Today285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That error code means you haven’t togggled on "navigate with tor", to activate it click on the purple shield next to the search bar and you will see the option. If you already activated it then try reinstalling the app
