IAMMediaContent Interface
The IAMMediaContent interface retrieves metadata from a stream. Applications can use this interface to retrieve information encoded into a stream, such as the author, title, and copyright. This interface is exposed by the AVI Splitter filter and the MPEG-1 Stream Splitter filter.
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.
- Note Windows Media Player does not use this interface to display metadata.
In addition to the methods inherited from IDispatch, the IAMMediaContent interface exposes the following methods.
Method | Description |
get_AuthorName | Retrieves the author name. |
get_Title | Retrieves the title. |
get_Rating | Retrieves the rating. |
get_Description | Retrieves a description of the content. |
get_Copyright | Retrieves copyright information. |
get_BaseURL | Retrieves a base URL for the related Web content. |
get_LogoURL | Retrieves a URL for the logo. |
get_LogoIconURL | Retrieves a URL for the logo icon. |
get_WatermarkURL | Retrieves a URL for the watermark. |
get_MoreInfoURL | Retrieves a URL for additional information about the content. |
get_MoreInfoBannerImage | Retrieves an image for a related-information banner. |
get_MoreInfoBannerURL | Retrieves a URL for a related-information banner. |

Requirements
Header: Include Qnetwork.h.
Library: None.
To define the interface identifier, include the header file Initguid.h before Qnetwork.h, but after Dshow.h and other header files:
#include <dshow.h> #include <initguid.h> #include <qnetwork.h>
- Note Make sure that Initguid.h is included only once in your project. Otherwise, you will receive linker errors for duplicate GUID values.
