IAMMultiMediaStream::OpenFile
Microsoft DirectShow 9.0 |
IAMMultiMediaStream::OpenFile
- Note This interface is deprecated. New applications should not use it.
The OpenFile method opens and automatically creates a filter graph for the specified media file. If DirectShow doesn't support the file format, this method does nothing.
Syntax
HRESULT OpenFile( LPCWSTR pszFileName, DWORD dwFlags );
Parameters
pszFileName
[in] Pointer to the name of the file you want to open.
dwFlags
[in] Value that modifies how the filter graph will render the specified file. This value is a combination of one or more of the following flags.
Value | Description |
AMMSF_NOCLOCK | Run the stream with no clock. |
AMMSF_NORENDER | Open the file, but do not render any streams. This flag should always be accompanied with the AMMSF_RUN flag. |
AMMSF_RENDERALLSTREAMS | Render all streams, including those that do not have an existing media stream. |
AMMSF_RENDERTOEXISTING | Only render to existing streams. |
AMMSF_RUN | Set the stream into the run state. |
Return Values
Returns one of the following values.
Return code | Description |
E_INVALIDARG | The dwFlags parameter is invalid. |
E_POINTER | This method tried to access an invalid pointer. |
S_OK | Success. |
Remarks
The AMMSF_RENDERALLSTREAMS flag will create default rendering filters for video and audio if they do not exist. However, these default filters cannot be accessed by the IStreamSample::GetMediaStream method.
