Retrieves the media type of the CMediaSample object.

Syntax

HRESULT GetMediaType(
  AM_MEDIA_TYPE** ppMediaType 
);

Parameters

  • ppMediaType
    Pointer to a pointer to the retrieved media type.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value. When a sample is received and there is no format change, this method returns S_FALSE.

Remarks

This member function implements the IMediaSample::GetMediaType method.

The member function makes a copy of the AM_MEDIA_TYPE structure and creates a task memory block to maintain the reference.
