I have been trying to work with async/await, Thread t = new Thread and every possible things you can imagine about multithreading... Running an async method with Process.Start keep blocking the ui, creating new thread immediately close the process and i dont know why???
If you guys dont mind, may i ask:
-How we succesfully run process.start (ffmpeg) in multithread so it dont block the ui? It actually work on synchronous thread but it open/close as soon as i run it.
I could copy/paste code but actually i tried over 20 methods and none are working:
private static void ProcessFile(string command, bool show)
{
try
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
Thread processStarter = new Thread(delegate ()
{
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = show;
startInfo.Arguments = $@"/c ffmpeg {command}";
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
});
processStarter.IsBackground = true;
processStarter.Start();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
Thread myNewThread = new Thread(() => ProcessFile("mycommand", true));
myNewThread.Start();
private static void ProcessFile(string command, bool show)
{
try
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = show;
startInfo.Arguments = $@"/c ffmpeg {command}";
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
private async void ProcessFile(string command, bool show)
{
try
{
await Task.Run (() =>
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = show;
startInfo.Arguments = $@"/c ffmpeg {command}";
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
I tried almost everything i found on google and sincerely multithread getting more confused by the time.
Can a nice soul give me an hand. Thank you
Well i tried alot of asynchronous code but its even worst than before.
