IVMRImagePresenter::StartPresenting method (strmif.h)
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The StartPresenting method is called just before the video starts playing. The allocator-presenter should perform any necessary configuration in this method.
Syntax
HRESULT StartPresenting(
[in] DWORD_PTR dwUserID
);
Parameters
[in] dwUserID
An application-defined DWORD_PTR cookie that uniquely identifies this instance of the VMR for use in scenarios when one instance of the allocator-presenter is used with multiple VMR instances.
Return value
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.
Remarks
PresentImage can be called when the filter is in either a running or a paused state. StartPresenting and StopPresenting can be called only in a running state. Therefore, if the graph is paused before it is run, PresentImage will be called before StartPresenting.
