CBaseInputPin.NotifyAllocator 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 NotifyAllocator
method specifies an allocator for the connection. This method implements the IMemInputPin::NotifyAllocator method.
Syntax
HRESULT NotifyAllocator(
IMemAllocator *pAllocator,
BOOL bReadOnly
);
Parameters
-
pAllocator
-
Pointer to the allocator's IMemAllocator interface.
-
bReadOnly
-
Flag that specifies whether samples from this allocator are read-only. If TRUE, samples are read-only.
Return value
Returns S_OK.
Remarks
During the pin connection, the output pin chooses an allocator and calls this method to notify the input pin. The output pin can use the allocator that the input pin proposed in the IMemInputPin::GetAllocator method, or it can provide its own allocator.
