IAMNetworkStatus::get_IsBroadcast method (qnetwork.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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]
The get_IsBroadcast method retrieves a value indicating whether the current stream is a broadcast stream.
Syntax
HRESULT get_IsBroadcast(
VARIANT_BOOL *pIsBroadcast
);
Parameters
pIsBroadcast
Pointer to a variable that receives a Boolean value.
Return value
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.
Remarks
A broadcast stream can be unicast or multicast. In a broadcast connection, the client is passive and does not control when the stream starts or stops. In an on-demand connection, the client is active and controls when the stream is started and stopped.
