BSP_OpenFile, Unicode and C++

[apophys]

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has been posted on the forum, but I haven't found anything.

I'm developing an Android control app for bsplayer and I'm having trouble with BSP_OpenFile and unicode filenames. It works ok for ascii ones.

Here's the code I use:

int bsplayer_openFile(HWND bsp_hand, HWND bsremote_hwnd, bool fullscreen, wchar_t* filename)
{

COPYDATASTRUCT cds;

cds.dwData = BSP_OpenFile;
cds.lpData = (void *) filename;
// cds.cbData = (DWORD) strlen ((char *)cds.lpData)+1;
cds.cbData = (DWORD) (wcslen ((wchar_t *)cds.lpData))*sizeof(wchar_t)+2;

int result = SendMessage(bsp_hand, WM_COPYDATA, (WPARAM) bsremote_hwnd, (LPARAM)&cds);



}


BSplayer simply doesn't reacct, so probably I'm giving it data in the wrong format.

Could you help me with this?

Here's what filename I use for testing:

This works only for ASCII strings, not unicode:

int bsplayer_openFile(HWND bsp_hand, HWND bsremote_hwnd, bool fullscreen, wchar_t* filename)
{
char* fff = (char*) calloc(1000, 1);

size_t sizeRequired = WideCharToMultiByte( 950, 0, filename, -1, fff, 1000, NULL, NULL);

COPYDATASTRUCT cds;
cds.dwData = BSP_OpenFile;
cds.lpData = (void *) fff;
cds.cbData = (DWORD) sizeRequired +2;

int result = SendMessage(bsp_hand, WM_COPYDATA, (WPARAM) bsremote_hwnd, (LPARAM)&cds);

..

}

I don't know if you actually need to forcedly call the SendMessageW function, but the problem can lay in BSplayer code.
Only a BSplayer member can reply to this last statement, as for my suggestion in using SendMessageW... I'm not sure, not coding in C since a lot of time and never dealt with unicode strings before, sorry

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot. Though I think the problem is on the bsplayer side of things...

Support for BSP_OpenFileW will be added in next beta. Unicode should work then.

Thank you very much for this addition

Hi guys!

I finally got around to implementing unicode in bsremote and it works like a charm. Thanks a lot for responding to the request so quickly!

When you have some more time on your hands , could you also add support in the API for unicode subtitles? Nobody asked for that yet, but I assume it will be needed at some point.

Great work!
