SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Integrating VisioForge Media Blocks SDK into a single .NET MAUI codebase is hard because you must correctly wire a graph-based media pipeline while also handling per-OS native dependencies, permissions, and licensing order.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-platform pipeline integration (MAUI): Set up MediaBlocksPipeline with camera and microphone sources and connect them to renderers/encoders/sinks that work across Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst.
  • Preview + capture graphs with tees: Keep real-time preview running while recording by splitting media streams using TeeBlock into renderer and MP4 sink branches.
  • Production-ready setup essentials: Register MAUI handlers (AddVisioForgeHandlers()), include the correct conditional native runtime packages per target framework, request platform permissions, and load the trial/purchased .vflicense before StartAsync.

Use when you need custom media processing (capture, transcode, stream, record) that requires low-level control over the pipeline graph rather than a high-level capture/edit/player API.

Quick Start

Use the media-blocks-sdk-net-maui skill to generate a MAUI project setup that targets net10.0-android plus net10.0-ios and net10.0-maccatalyst on macOS, registers AddVisioForgeHandlers(), requests camera/mic permissions, and wires a preview-only and preview+MP4 capture pipeline with the correct per-platform filename and licensing flow.

Frequently Asked Questions about media-blocks-sdk-net-maui

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a cross-platform camera capture pipeline in .NET MAUI?▼

Set up a cross-platform capture pipeline in .NET MAUI by initializing a `MediaBlocksPipeline`, adding camera and microphone source blocks, and connecting them to renderer and MP4 sink blocks across Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst.

How do I keep a camera preview running while recording to MP4 simultaneously?▼

Keep a camera preview running while recording to MP4 by inserting a `TeeBlock` into the media pipeline graph to split the stream into renderer and MP4 sink branches simultaneously.

Does the Media Blocks SDK work with .NET MAUI on iOS and Android?▼

Yes, the Media Blocks SDK works with .NET MAUI on iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac Catalyst, requiring conditional multi-target csproj setup and per-OS configuration for native runtimes and renderer handlers.

What do I need to register before starting a Media Blocks pipeline in MAUI?▼

Before starting a Media Blocks pipeline in MAUI, you must register MAUI handlers using `AddVisioForgeHandlers()`, request platform permissions, and load the `.vflicense` certificate via `SetLicenseCertificateAsync` before calling `StartAsync`.

Why does my Media Blocks capture pipeline fail to start on Android or iOS?▼

A Media Blocks capture pipeline fails to start if you do not load the `.vflicense` certificate via `SetLicenseCertificateAsync` before calling `StartAsync`, or if platform-specific camera and microphone permissions are not requested.
