Remarks

This event is raised by some pipeline components. The Media Session forwards the event to the quality manager by calling the IMFQualityManager::NotifyQualityEvent method.

The event's extended type indicates the meaning of the event data.

Extended type	Event data
MF_QUALITY_NOTIFY_PROCESSING_LATENCY	Approximate processing latency introduced by the component, in 100-nanosecond units. Processing latency is the amount of latency that a component introduces into the pipeline by processing a sample. In some cases, the latency cannot be derived simply by looking at the calls to IMFQualityManager::NotifyProcessInput and IMFQualityManager::NotifyProcessOutput. For example, there may not be a one-to-one correspondence between input samples and output samples. In this case, the component might send an MEQualityNotify event with the processing latency. If the processing latency changes, the component can send a new event at any time during streaming.
MF_QUALITY_NOTIFY_SAMPLE_LAG	Lag time for the sample, in 100-nanosecond units. If the value is positive, the sample was late. If the value is negative, the sample was early.

 

To get the extended type, call IMFMediaEvent::GetExtendedType.

Pipeline components are not required to send this event.
