Media SDK for UWP applications

Overview

Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications have a set of permission and API restrictions comparing to Windows desktop applications. That is why we have a different way to provide Media SDK functionality to UWP applications which satisfies WACK compliance requirements. The key difference for application developers is the need to use Media SDK UWP dispatcher instead of regular desktop dispatcher (see Media SDK dispatcher for Windows).

How to use Media SDK for UWP

• Build UWP dispatcher - libmfx_uwp.vcxproj in AllBuild.sln
• Link UWP dispatcher library libmfx_uwp.lib to your application

Prerequisites:

• Both UWP dispatcher and your application must be built with Windows 10 SDK version 10.0.18362.0 or newer
• System where the application is executed must meet following requirements:
  • Windows 10 version 1809 or newer
  • Intel Graphics Driver version 26.20.100.6911 or newer

Limitations

UWP applications can use only Media SDK hardware implementation: software library and plugins are not supported.
