IMFSourceReader::GetPresentationAttribute method (mfreadwrite.h)

Gets an attribute from the underlying media source.

Syntax

HRESULT GetPresentationAttribute(
  [in]  DWORD       dwStreamIndex,
  [in]  REFGUID     guidAttribute,
  [out] PROPVARIANT *pvarAttribute
);

Parameters

[in] dwStreamIndex

The stream or object to query. The value can be any of the following.

Value	Meaning
0–0xFFFFFFFB	The zero-based index of a stream.
MF_SOURCE_READER_FIRST_VIDEO_STREAM 0xFFFFFFFC	The first video stream.
MF_SOURCE_READER_FIRST_AUDIO_STREAM 0xFFFFFFFD	The first audio stream.
MF_SOURCE_READER_MEDIASOURCE 0xFFFFFFFF	The media source.

[in] guidAttribute

A GUID that identifies the attribute to retrieve. If the dwStreamIndex parameter equals MF_SOURCE_READER_MEDIASOURCE, guidAttribute can specify one of the following:

• A presentation descriptor attribute. For a list of values, see Presentation Descriptor Attributes.
• MF_SOURCE_READER_MEDIASOURCE_CHARACTERISTICS. Use this value to get characteristics flags from the media source.

Otherwise, if the dwStreamIndex parameter specifies a stream, guidAttribute specifies a stream descriptor attribute. For a list of values, see Stream Descriptor Attributes.

[out] pvarAttribute

A pointer to a PROPVARIANT that receives the value of the attribute. Call the PropVariantClear function to free the PROPVARIANT.
