CBaseRenderer.StartStreaming 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 StartStreaming method initiates streaming when the filter switches to a running state.
Syntax
virtual HRESULT StartStreaming();
Parameters
This method has no parameters.
Return value
Returns S_OK or another HRESULT value.
Remarks
If the filter has a sample, it schedules the sample for rendering. Otherwise, if there is a pending end-of-stream notification, the filter sends an EC_COMPLETE event to the filter graph manager.
This method calls the CBaseRenderer::OnStartStreaming method. That method does nothing in the base class, but the derived class can override it.
