CBaseReferenceClock.SetTimeDelta method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 SetTimeDelta method adjusts the internal clock time.

Syntax

HRESULT SetTimeDelta(
  [ref] const REFERENCE_TIME &TimeDelta
);

Parameters

TimeDelta [ref]

Amount to adjust the clock time, in 100-nanosecond units. A positive value moves the clock forward, and a negative value moves the clock backward.

Return value

Returns S_OK.

Remarks

The derived class can use this method to adjust the internal clock, if it drifts from the device that is providing timing information.

The CBaseReferenceClock::GetTime method never returns decreasing values. If you adjust the clock backward, GetTime returns the previous value until the clock reaches that value again.

Requirements

Header
Refclock.h (include Streams.h)
