  • Article

3/26/2014

This method sets the discontinuity property.

Syntax

HRESULT SetDiscontinuity(
  BOOL bIsDiscontinuity
);

Parameters

  • bIsDiscontinuity
    [in] Set to TRUE to specify the media sample as discontinuous with the previous sample.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation. HRESULT can be one of the following standard constants, or other values not listed.

Value

Description

E_FAIL

Failure.

E_POINTER

Null pointer argument.

E_INVALIDARG

Invalid argument.

E_NOTIMPL

Method is not supported.

S_OK or NOERROR

Success.

Remarks

Discontinuous samples occur when a source filter seeks to a different place in the media stream or when a filter drops samples for quality control.

While calling SetDiscontinuity with a value of TRUE (1) sets the discontinuity property, calling IsDiscontinuity on a discontinuous sample returns S_OK (0).
