Media SDK mfx_dispatch issues

[Sarbjit_S_]

I am using media sdk's filtering capabilities. I downloaded the Intel Media Server 2017 R2 and using the software development kit shipped with it. 

I am developing using Visual Studio 2015. In debug build everything is working and fine but when i build in release mode I got errors like "reference to std::exception is not found" etc. I thought it is because the libmfx.lib is built with settings "/MT" while my project is using settings "/MD".

To fix this issue i compiled mfx_dispatch from the opensource folder and tried to build library using /MD but it gave some compilation errors from the warning that certain variables are hiding other types. To fix this I changed the warning level and was able to compile the library.

Now when I am using this library I am getting "UNSUPPORTED" while initializing mfx using session->Init() function. I am not able to run anything from these newly build libs.

Please let me know what is going on. I did not expect so many issues from such a standard library. Am I doing anything wrong.

Hi, 

VS2015 was not officially supported in that version, Samples 2017R2 might have compilation issues with visual studio 2015.

Happy to say these issues will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks Stav for the reply, when can i expect the next version to be released ?

Right now if I cant get my release build to pass I cant release by software. It would be a big set back for my project. Please advise what can I do to fix this temporarily.
