IAMMediaStream::Initialize
Microsoft DirectShow 9.0 |
IAMMediaStream::Initialize
- Note This interface is deprecated. New applications should not use it.
The Initialize method creates and initializes a new media stream with the specified stream type and purpose ID.
Syntax
HRESULT Initialize( IUnknown *pSourceObject, DWORD dwFlags, REFMSPID PurposeID, const STREAM_TYPE StreamType );
Parameters
pSourceObject
[in] Pointer to an IUnknown source object.
dwFlags
[in] Value that modifies the media stream's behavior; it is a combination of one or more of the following values.
Value | Description |
AMMSF_ADDDEFAULTRENDERER | Add a default renderer. |
AMMSF_CREATEPEER | Create a peer stream based on the same object as a pStreamObject. |
AMMSF_NOSTALL | Run the stream even if Update is not called. |
AMMSF_STOPIFNOSAMPLES | Terminates the stream if no samples were created or if the last sample is deleted. |
PurposeID
[in] Purpose ID for the new media stream.
StreamType
[in] STREAM_TYPE enumeration value that specifies the new media stream's media type.
Return Values
Returns S_OK if successful or E_POINTER if one or more of the required parameters are invalid.
Remarks
If dwFlags specifies AMMSF_ADDDEFAULTRENDERER, then the default renderer for the given purpose ID is created, if possible. Currently, the only default renderer supported is for audio using Microsoft® DirectSound®. In this case, the pStreamObject parameter must be NULL and any calls to the IMultiMediaStream::GetMediaStream or IMultiMediaStream::EnumMediaStreams method will not recognize the stream.
If dwFlags specifies AMMSF_CREATEPEER, then a media stream is created using pStreamObject and added to the current multimedia stream. The pStreamObject parameter varies depending on the stream type. In general, pStreamObject can point to an IMediaStream object, in which case a stream with the sample purpose ID and format is created. For IDirectDraw streams, it can also be a pointer to an IDirectDraw interface.
If dwFlags specifies AMMSF_STOPIFNOSAMPLES, then the stream is terminated.
If no flags are set, then pStreamObject can be one of the following.
Value | Description |
An IAMMediaStream object | This stream is then added to the streams in the multimedia stream. |
NULL | In this case a default IMediaStream object is added to the stream with a default underlying object, if required. |
A pointer to an underlying object | This is used to construct default streams. For video streams, this can be an IDirectDraw pointer. |
