IAMMultiMediaStream::Initialize method (amstream.h)

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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  This interface is deprecated. New applications should not use it.
 
The Initialize method initializes the multimedia stream object.

Syntax

HRESULT Initialize(
  [in] STREAM_TYPE   StreamType,
  [in] DWORD         dwFlags,
  [in] IGraphBuilder *pFilterGraph
);

Parameters

[in] StreamType

Member of the STREAM_TYPE enumeration, specifying whether the streams are read-only, write-only, or read/write.

[in] dwFlags

Must be one of the following values:

Value Description
Zero Create a filter graph that runs on a separate thread.
AMMSF_NOGRAPHTHREAD Create a filter graph that runs on the calling thread.

[in] pFilterGraph

[optional] Pointer to the IGraphBuilder interface, or NULL. If this parameter is non-NULL, it specifies a filter graph that the multimedia stream object will use. Otherwise, the multimedia stream object creates a new filter graph.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.

Return code Description
E_POINTER
NULL pointer argument.
S_OK
Success.

Remarks

If you specify AMMSF_NOGRAPHTHREAD in the dwFlags parameter, the calling thread must process window messages, and it must release all multimedia streaming objects before the thread exits. Otherwise, the application might deadlock.
