IWMReaderAdvanced2::StartAtMarker method (wmsdkidl.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The StartAtMarker method starts the reader from a specified marker.
Syntax
HRESULT StartAtMarker(
[in] WORD wMarkerIndex,
[in] QWORD cnsDuration,
[in] float fRate,
[in] void *pvContext
);
Parameters
[in] wMarkerIndex
WORD containing the marker index.
[in] cnsDuration
Specifies the duration, in 100-nanosecond units.
[in] fRate
Floating point number indicating rate. Normal-speed playback is 1.0; higher numbers cause faster playback. Numbers less than zero indicate reverse rate (rewinding). The valid range is 1.0 through 10.0, and -1.0 through -10.0.
[in] pvContext
Generic pointer, for use by the application.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method succeeded. |
|
There is not enough available memory. |
|
The value for fRate is not within the valid ranges. |
|
The method failed for an unspecified reason. |
Remarks
This method is very similar to IWMReader::Start. The difference is that this method uses a marker index but IWMReader::Start uses a start time.
