Deployment of Media Player SDK .Net

Products: Media Player SDK .Net

MediaPlayerCoreX engine (cross-platform)

Check the main Deployment page.

MediaPlayerCore engine (Windows-only)

To use the SDK on a PC that does not have the SDK installed, you must deploy SDK components. For the AnyCPU application, you should deploy both x86 and x64 redists.

NuGet redist packages

Add the required packages to your application project. After the project builds, you'll have redist package files in your application folder.

  • SDK redist base package (always required) - x86 | x64
  • Media Player SDK redist package (always required) - x86 | x64
  • FFMPEG package (file playback using FFMPEG source mode) - x86 | x64
  • MP4 output package - x86 | x64
  • VLC source package (for file / IP camera source) - x86 | x64
  • WebM output package - x86
  • XIPH formats (Ogg, Vorbis, FLAC) output/source - x86 | x64
  • LAV filters - x86 | x64

Automatic (silent) installers (admin rights required)

  • Base package (always required) - x86 | x64
  • Install .Net assemblies to GAC | Use in a local folder
  • FFMPEG package (for file / IP camera source) - x86 | x64
  • VLC source package (for file / IP camera source) - x86 | x64
  • XIPH formats (Ogg, Vorbis, FLAC) output/source - x86 | x64
  • LAV filters - x86 | x64

To uninstall the package, call the "exe" with admin rights with the following parameters: "/x //".

Manual installation

  1. If you can run the application with administrative privileges, install the VC++ 2022 (v143) runtime (x86 and/or x64 versions) and OpenMP runtime DLLs using exe redist or MSM modules. If not, copy the VC++ 2022 (v143) runtime (x86 and/or x64 versions) and OpenMP runtime DLLs to the application folder.
  2. Copy the VisioForge_MFP/VisioForge_MFPX (or x64 versions) DLLs from Redist\Filters to the app folder.
  3. Copy .Net assemblies to an app folder or install them to the GAC
  4. Copy and COM-register (using regsvr32.exe or any other way) SDK DirectShow filters
  5. Add the folder with filters to the system environment variable PATH if your application "exe" file is in another folder.
