IAMMediaContent Interface (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This interface provides methods for retrieving metadata from a stream. Applications can use this interface to retrieve information encoded into a stream, such as the author, title, and copyright.

Depending on the stream type, a filter might support a subset of the methods on this interface. For example, the AVI Splitter retrieves the copyright, author name, and title from INFO chunks in the AVI file. The remaining methods return E_NOTIMPL.

In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown and IDispatch, the IAMMediaContent interface exposes the following methods.

Method	Description
IAMMediaContent::get_AuthorName	Retrieves the author name.
IAMMediaContent::get_Title	Retrieves the title.
IAMMediaContent::get_Rating	Retrieves the rating.
IAMMediaContent::get_Description	Retrieves a description of the content.
IAMMediaContent::get_Copyright	Retrieves copyright information.
IAMMediaContent::get_BaseURL	Retrieves a base URL for the related Web content.
IAMMediaContent::get_LogoURL	Retrieves a URL for the logo.
IAMMediaContent::get_LogoIconURL	Retrieves a URL for the logo icon.
IAMMediaContent::get_WatermarkURL	Retrieves a URL for the watermark.
IAMMediaContent::get_MoreInfoURL	Retrieves a URL for additional information about the content.
IAMMediaContent::get_MoreInfoBannerImage	Retrieves an image for a related-information banner.
IAMMediaContent::get_MoreInfoBannerURL	Retrieves a URL for a related-information banner.
IAMMediaContent::get_MoreInfoText	Retrieves additional information as text.

Remarks

DirectShow applications and DirectShow filters have different include file and link library requirements. See Setting Up the Build Environment for more information.

Requires Qnetwork.h. To define the class identifier, include Initguid.h before Qnetwork.h, but after Dshow.h.

#include <dshow.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <qnetwork.h>

This interface is typically exposed by parser filters, such as the AVI Splitter Filter and the MPEG-1 Parser/Splitter.

Requirements

Header	dshow.h, initguid.h, qnetwork.h
