Feature request for DSSource : specify audio or video stream number...

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,


I don't look at the sources yet but I'm wondering if it's doable or not : having the choice to specify the video or audio stream number inside the DirectShowSource(....) plugin ? coz some people nowadays have some files with multiple streams and would like to transcode them directly without to do an extraction or just transcode one of them...

If this is doable, it could be great. Such things can be very usefull imo, especially with some extra plugins like SoundOut().

Otherwise, I would like to have a brief explanation to know why.

Thanks anyway. :)

I second that notion. I have to extract all the time, and just selecting the stream in DSSource, it would save me some serious time.

To be able to select the desired stream you need to provide a .GRF file from graphedit with the appropriate pin unconnected (park any other pins into a null renderer).

Currently we use the simple RendeFile call to build our initial graph and then replace the provided default renderer with DSS. To do more an elborate graph building algorithm would be required.
