IMFPresentationClock::Start method (mfidl.h)
Starts the presentation clock.
Syntax
HRESULT Start(
[in] LONGLONG llClockStartOffset
);
Parameters
[in] llClockStartOffset
Initial starting time, in 100-nanosecond units. At the time the Start method is called, the clock's IMFPresentationClock::GetTime method returns this value, and the clock time increments from there. If the value is PRESENTATION_CURRENT_POSITION, the clock starts from its current position. Use this value if the clock is paused and you want to restart it from the same position.
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. |
|
No time source was set on this clock. |
Remarks
This method is valid in all states (stopped, paused, or running).
If the clock is paused and restarted from the same position (llClockStartOffset is PRESENTATION_CURRENT_POSITION), the presentation clock sends an IMFClockStateSink::OnClockRestart notification. Otherwise, the clock sends an IMFClockStateSink::OnClockStart notification.
The presentation clock initiates the state change by calling OnClockStart or OnClockRestart on the clock's time source. This call is made synchronously. If it fails, the state change does not occur. If the call succeeds, the state changes, and the clock notifies the other state-change subscribers by calling their OnClockStart or OnClockRestart methods. These calls are made asynchronously.
If the clock is already running, calling Start again has the effect of seeking the clock to the new StartOffset position.
