What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you integrate VisioForge Media Blocks SDK .NET into a Windows Forms app so you can build and control custom, graph-based media pipelines for capture, processing, and output.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Graph-based pipeline integration: create and wire MediaBlocksPipeline with source, transform, and sink blocks using Connect() and pads.
• Capture-to-preview and capture-to-file/stream: combine camera/mic sources with renderers and optional MP4 recording using tee + encoder + muxer blocks.
• Real-world WinForms workflow guidance: covers SDK initialization, device enumeration, NuGet/runtime pinning, license registration per pipeline, and common deployment issues (missing DLLs/codecs, trial expiry, preview not rendering).
• Example template references: provides a ready-to-copy WinForms MainForm pattern (with optional MP4 capture) showing device selection, format/frame-rate selection, branching, and OnError logging.

Quick Start

Follow the WinForms example in references/MainForm.cs to initialize the SDK, enumerate devices, wire a pipeline from video/audio sources through tees into preview renderers, and optionally add H.264/AAC encoding into an MP4 sink for recording.
