IRenderEngine::GetTimelineObject 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]

Note

[Deprecated. This API may be removed from future releases of Windows.]

 

The GetTimelineObject method retrieves the timeline that the render engine is currently using.

Syntax

HRESULT GetTimelineObject(
  [out] IAMTimeline **ppTimeline
);

Parameters

ppTimeline [out]

Receives a pointer to the timeline's IAMTimeline interface. It receives the value NULL if there is no timeline.

Return value

Returns one of the following HRESULT values:

Return code Description
S_OK
Success.
E_POINTER
Invalid pointer.
E_MUST_INIT_RENDERER
Render engine failed to initialize.

 

Remarks

On return, if the value of *ppTimeline is non-NULL, the IAMTimeline interface has an outstanding reference count. Be sure to release the interface when you are finished using it.
