Hi
1. Please check WinForms demo. You can see Camera Control API and Video Adjustments API partially implemented in demo and fully available using SDK. So, we have full subset of DirectShow API for capture device. Some vendors can create custom device settings dialog, we unable to use them directly, but you can ask vendor for interface if required.
2. Set Selection_Enabled to true, set start time to 0, stop time same as file duration, that's enable loop playback and disable stop of file. You can control current timestamp using OnVideoFrameBuffer event, call Pause (from UI thread) in right moment, seek to last frame using Position_Set call.
