IMediaObject::SetOutputType method

Applies to: desktop apps only

The SetOutputType method sets the media type on an output stream, or tests whether a media type is acceptable.

Copy

HRESULT SetOutputType(
  DWORD dwOutputStreamIndex,
  [in]  const DMO_MEDIA_TYPE *pmt,
  DWORD dwFlags
);

dwOutputStreamIndex: Zero-based index of an output stream on the DMO.
pmt [in]: Pointer to a DMO_MEDIA_TYPE structure that specifies the media type.
dwFlags: Bitwise combination of zero or more flags from the DMO_SET_TYPE_FLAGS enumeration.

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include those in the following table.

Return code	Description
DMO_E_INVALIDSTREAMINDEX	Invalid stream index
DMO_E_TYPE_NOT_ACCEPTED	Media type was not accepted
S_FALSE	Media type is not acceptable
S_OK	Media type was set successfully, or is acceptable

Call this method to test, set, or clear the media type on an output stream:

To test the media type without setting it, use the DMO_SET_TYPEF_TEST_ONLY flag. If the media type is not acceptable, the method returns S_FALSE.
To set the media type, set dwFlags to zero. If the media type is not acceptable, the method returns DMO_E_TYPE_NOT_ACCEPTED.
To clear the current media type (if any), use the DMO_SET_TYPEF_CLEAR flag and set pmt to NULL. When the method returns, the stream no longer has a media type. The DMO cannot process samples until the application sets a new media type, unless the stream is optional.

The media types that are currently set on other streams can affect whether the media type is acceptable.
