IWMReaderNetworkConfig::GetConnectionBandwidth 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 It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer.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 GetConnectionBandwidth method retrieves the connection bandwidth for the client.
Syntax
HRESULT GetConnectionBandwidth(
[out] DWORD *pdwConnectionBandwidth
);
Parameters
[out] pdwConnectionBandwidth
Pointer to a DWORD containing the connection bandwidth, in bits per second.
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. |
|
NULL or invalid argument passed in. |
Remarks
If this method returns zero, the bandwidth could not be detected. If the application has not called SetConnectionBandwidth (or called it with a zero parameter), the return value is the connection rate detected by the reader.
If you want to determine the connection bandwidth before receiving a sample, use this method.
