About IMFGetService

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The IMFGetService interface is one of the interfaces that must be implemented by a dual-mode DSP plug-in. It has only one method, GetService. A DSP plug-in implements the GetService method so that clients can obtain pointers to the interfaces supported by the plug-in when the plug-in is running natively in the Media Foundation pipeline.
