CRenderedInputPin.EndOfStream method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 EndOfStream method notifies the pin that no additional data is expected, until a new run command is issued to the filter. This method implements the IPin::EndOfStream method.

Syntax

HRESULT EndOfStream();

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error code otherwise.

Remarks

If the filter is running, this method sends an EC_COMPLETE event to the Filter Graph Manager. Otherwise, is sets a flag so that the EC_COMPLETE event is sent when the filter next runs. Flushing the filter clears the flag.

You should override this method to hold the pin's streaming lock:

class CMyInputPin : public CRenderedInputPin
{
private:
    CCritSec * const m_pReceiveLock; // Streaming lock.
public:
    STDMETHODIMP EndOfStream(void);

    /* (Remainder of the class declaration not shown.) */
};

STDMETHODIMP CMyInputPin::EndOfStream(void)
{
    CAutoLock lock(m_pReceiveLock);  
    return CRenderedInputPin::EndOfStream();
} 

Also, if the filter processes Receive calls asynchronously, the pin should wait to send the EC_COMPLETE event until the filter has processed all pending samples.
