Description

out of the box checkout + modules update + build simply does not work and fails with these errors:

source\mediasampleprovider.h(24): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libavformat/avformat.h': No such file or directory (compiling source file ..\..\Source\H264SampleProvider.cpp)

or:

sampleswin10\mediaplayercpp\pch.cpp : fatal error C1192: #using failed on 'C:\work\FFmpegInterop\Debug\FFmpegInterop\FFmpegInterop.winmd'
2>                 'The system cannot find the file specified.'

Research direction

Reproduce the reported checkout, modules update, and build sequence, then inspect source\mediasampleprovider.h, Source\H264SampleProvider.cpp, and sampleswin10\mediaplayercpp\pch.cpp alongside the two compiler errors. Determine why the FFmpeg headers and FFmpegInterop.winmd are unavailable; done means the project builds from a clean checkout without these failures.
