wxMediaCtrl is a class for displaying types of

wxMediaCtrl is a class for displaying types of media, such as videos, audio
files, natively through native codecs.
wxMediaCtrl uses native backends to render media, for example on Windows
there is a ActiveMovie/DirectShow backend, and on Macintosh there is a
QuickTime backend.

When wxMediaCtrl stops, either by the @c EVT_MEDIA_STOP not being vetoed, or by manually
calling Stop(), where it actually stops is not at the beginning, rather, but at the beginning
of the stream. That is, when it stops and play is called, playback is gauranteed to start at
the beginning of the media. This is because some streams are not seekable, and when stop is
called on them they return to the beginning, thus wxMediaCtrl tries to keep consistant for all types
of media.

Note that when changing the state of the media through Play() and other methods, the media may not
actually be in the @c wxMEDIASTATE_PLAYING, for example. If you are relying on the media being in
certain state catch the event relevant to the state. See wxMediaEvent for the kinds of events that
you can catch.

@section class_mediactrl_video_size Video size
By default, wxMediaCtrl will scale the size of the video to the requested amount passed to either
its constructor or Create(). After calling Load or performing an equivilant operation, you can
subsequently obtain the "real" size of the video (if there is any) by calling GetBestSize().
Note that the actual result on the display will be slightly different when ShowPlayerControls is
activated and the actual video size will be less then specified due to the extra controls provided
by the native toolkit. In addition, the backend may modify GetBestSize() to include the size of
the extra controls - so if you want the real size of the video just disable ShowPlayerControls().
@section mediactrl_video_size Video size
The idea with setting GetBestSize() to the size of the video is that GetBestSize() is a wxWindow-derived
function that is called when sizers on a window recalculate. What this means is that if you use sizers
by default the video will show in its original size without any extra assistance needed from the user.

Normally, when you use wxMediaCtrl it is just a window for the video to play in. However, some toolkits
have their own media player interface. For example, QuickTime generally has a bar below the video with
a slider. A special feature available to wxMediaCtrl, you can use the toolkits interface instead of making
your own by using the ShowPlayerControls() function. There are several options for the flags parameter,
with the two general flags being @c wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS_NONE which turns off the native interface,
and @c wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS_DEFAULT which lets wxMediaCtrl decide what native controls on the interface.
Be sure to review the caveats outlined in Video size before doing so.

@section mediactrl_player_controls Player controls
Generally, you should almost certainly leave this part up to wxMediaCtrl - but if you need a certain backend
for a particular reason, such as QuickTime for playing .mov files, all you need to do to choose a specific
backend is to pass the name of the backend class to Create().

@section class_mediactrl_creating_backend Creating a backend
Creating a backend for wxMediaCtrl is a rather simple process. Simply derive from wxMediaBackendCommonBase
and implement the methods you want. The methods in wxMediaBackend correspond to those in wxMediaCtrl except
for CreateControl which does the actual creation of the control, in cases where a custom control is not
needed you may simply call wxControl::Create().

You need to make sure to use the @c DECLARE_CLASS and @c IMPLEMENT_CLASS macros.
The only real tricky part is that you need to make sure the file in compiled in, which if there are
just backends in there will not happen and you may need to use a force link hack
(see http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/RTTI).
