IAMClockAdjust::SetClockDelta method (strmif.h)

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The SetClockDelta method adjusts the clock time.

Syntax

HRESULT SetClockDelta(
  [in] REFERENCE_TIME rtDelta
);

Parameters

[in] rtDelta

Specifies the amount by which to adjust the clock, as a REFERENCE_TIME value. A positive value moves the clock forward, and a negative value moves the clock backward.

Return value

Returns S_OK or an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The time values returned by IReferenceClock::GetTime are monotonically increasing. If you set the clock back, GetTime continues to report the old time until the internal clock catches up.
