CBaseRenderer.SetMediaType method

  • Article

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 SetMediaType method is called when the pin's media type is set.

Syntax

virtual HRESULT SetMediaType(
   const CMediaType *pmt
);

Parameters

pmt

Pointer to a CMediaType object that specifies the media type.

Return value

Returns S_OK.

Remarks

The input pin calls this method from its own CRendererInputPin::SetMediaType method. This method does nothing in the base class.
