Could check whether this is only due to our installation? If not I would like to have information from Digitalwerk asap.

In ADTF 3.6.2 the adtf_playback_input.plugindescription specififies the filenames property as a cString not as a cFilename.
Consequence: it is not possible to get a file chooser and "Create Pins From Playback File" does not work even when file path is entered manually.

The Example Project still specifies the Filter instances to have the properties as a cFilename in the properties files.

Workaround: replace cString by cFilename in the .plugindescription files.
Or is there a better suggestion?

After that workaround there is still a problem with "Create Pins From Playback File" when the path to the playback file contains a space. Note that this is default for EB's installation path, so it should be supported. The latter error applies also to ADTF 3.5. Please provide here also the information when a fix will be available.

Note that the playback service seems now to have the right settings for its properties but entering a file there seems to have no effect on the created pins.

This is a issue that will happen on each installation with the ADTF3.6.2 Version. Our customers are confused this is not well handled.

Lösung

ACORE-9936

The kind of property editor to choose the files in ADTF 3.6.2 and previous depends on the property type which is deposited in the properties files. Replacing cString by cFilename in the .plugindescription is a possible workaround but remember, the property type in the plugindescription has no effect if there is a different entry in the property files, which will be prefered.

We reworked the ADTFDAT File Player Filter Editor in ACORE-9936. As part of it we harmonized the type of the filenames property in the plugindescription and properties files to get the expected property editor. The Problem with the spaces in the file path while creating pins will be solved in the new Filter Editor too. Unfortunately there is no workaround for the old filter editor. Fix Version will be ADTF 3.7.0.
