is there a way to detect if video playback is running or not with Win32 API?

For audio, I can detect playback processes by:

enumerate playback devices with MMDeviceEnumerator and,
for each device, enumerate sessions with IaudiosessionManager.

I'd like to do the similar thing for video playback. Ideally, a method that works for any application, but if it is impossible, a method that works for specific framework (DirectShow, Media Foundation, etc.) is ok.

Thanks.

Even if you could reliably do this, what would you do with this information? (i.e. what are you really trying to do?) – selbie Feb 09 '13 at 05:38
