windows 8.1 app store: FbxImporter->Initialize fails

[Anonymous]

hi,

i'm try to import a .fbx file from a windows 8.1 store app.

when i call FbxImport->Initialize the app fails (see error below)

any help would be appreciated

thx in advance

windows 8.1 x64

fbx sdk 2015.1 and visual studio 2013

constchar* format = "FBX (*.fbx)";

int mReaderID = lSdkManager->GetIOPluginRegistry()->FindReaderIDByDescription(format);

// this returns true, mReaderID is zero

bool success= lSdkManager->GetIOPluginRegistry()->DetectReaderFileFormat(filename, mReaderID);

// Initialize fails

success = lImporter->Initialize(filename, mReaderID, lSdkManager->GetIOSettings());

I am having exactly the same problem. Has a solution been found?

[Anonymous]

really nobody can solve this issue or give me a suggestion?

is there a working example for WinRT?

thx

I have the exact same issue too!

Good morning,

I am running into the same issue ces.tino reported and I was wondering if a solution was ever found.

I am working with a Win8.1 Store app as well, using the 2016.0 Store Fbx SDK for VS2013.  I started running through the "Your First FBX SDK Program" tutorial ( http://help.autodesk.com/view/FBX/2016/ENU/?guid=__files_GUID_29C09995_47A9_4B49_9535_2F6BDC5C4107_h... ) and right away ran into this.  I thought at first it could just be the FBX files I had, but checking through all of the ones in the samples I had the same result:  "Unexpected file type!"

DetectReaderFileFormat gives me 0 for the format, as did FindReaderIDByDescription.

GetFileVersion from the FbxImporter returns all zeros.

Thanks for any help!

We tracked this down locally to trying to have the SDK load a file from disk that had been selected with the Metro file picker.  The picker allows access to locations the app is not allowed to load from, except with the WinRT APIs, probably due to that carrying permission from the user along from the file picker.

My solution has been to use the WinRT API to load the file into memory and then implement a simple FbxStream subclass that wraps the loaded buffer and allows reading from it.
