TestTool exports direct show graphs

We have added a nice little feature to the MediaPortal TestTool.

On WindowsXP it is now able to capture all created direct show graphs and create a jpg image of it.

This means that if you encounter some video/audio issues when playing media in MediaPortal, then you no longer have to download graphedit or DSGraphEdit to connect to the graph and find out which filters are used.

Since MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 you only have to start MediaPortal with the MediaPortal Debug shortcut from your start menu and play the media file which causes troubles.

After that the TestTool automatically creates a zip file which contains all logs and the jpg's of the created graphs.

This zip can then be attached to your support thread in the forums, so other team members and community members can have a look and help you with your problem.

As said befor, this works nicely in WindowsXP. In Windows VISTA it does not work out of the box. The reason is that Microsoft has (re-)moved some resources.

If you have the VISTA SDK (1185.7MB) installed, then the TestTool is also able to create jpg's of the directshow graphs (we are not allowed to re-distribute the required VISTA SDK files with MediaPortal).

We hope that you enjoy (and use) this new feature. 

About The Project

The vision of the MediaPortal project is to create a free open source media centre application, which supports all advanced media centre functions, and is accessible to all Windows users.

In reaching this goal we are working every day to make sure our software is one of the best.

Support MediaPortal!

The team works very hard to make sure the community is running the best HTPC-software. We give away MediaPortal for free but hosting and software is not for us.

Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it!
