Description

I'm evaluating Binary Ninja 4.1 Free on some older DirectShow code. You already have GUIDs and type definitions for ICreateDevEnum, IGraphBuilder, IMediaControl, IBaseFilter, ICaptureGraphBuilder2. However, ISampleGrabber with [Guid("6b652fff-11fe-4fce-92ad-0266b5d7c78f")] is missing.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing GUIDs and type definitions for ICreateDevEnum, IGraphBuilder, IMediaControl, IBaseFilter, and ICaptureGraphBuilder2. Compare how those DirectShow interfaces are represented, then determine how a general GUID-interface mapping system would include ISampleGrabber. Done means the requested interface mapping is supported consistently with the existing definitions.
