CMediaPosition Class

     IMediaSeeking

**          CPosPassThru Class**

This class is a utility class that handles the IMediaPosition and IMediaSeeking interfaces for single-input pin renderers and transform filters.

IMediaPosition is the interface originally used for seeking in time-based media streams. IMediaSeeking is an interface intended to replace IMediaPosition in filter graphs that require seeking to units other than time, such as samples or fields, or that require more precise time-based seeking.

Renderers will use this class to implement IMediaPosition and IMediaSeeking from the filter; transform filters will use it to implement these two interfaces from the output pin.

In both cases, the methods will be implemented by calls to the IMediaPosition or IMediaSeeking interface provided by the output pin of the connected upstream filter, effectively passing the position information through to the next filter.

Create a class derived from CPosPassThru, giving it the IPin pointer to your input pin, and delegate all IMediaPosition and IMediaSeeking methods to it.

The class will find the output pin connected to the input pin, query this output pin for the IMediaPosition or IMediaSeeking interface, and respond appropriately.

Implemented IMediaPosition Methods

Method

Description

CanSeekBackward

Determines if the current position can be moved backward in the media stream.

CanSeekForward

Determines if the current position can be moved forward in the media stream.

get_CurrentPosition

Retrieves the current position in terms of the total length of the media stream.

get_Duration

Retrieves the total duration of the media stream.

get_PrerollTime

Retrieves the time before the start position that the filter graph will start any nonrandom access device rolling.

get_Rate

Retrieves the playback rate, relative to normal playback of the media.

get_StopTime

Retrieves the position within the media at which playback should stop.

put_CurrentPosition

Sets the position within the media at which playback should start.

put_PrerollTime

Sets the time before the start position that the filter graph will start any nonrandom access device rolling.

put_Rate

Sets the playback rate, relative to normal playback of the media.

put_StopTime

Sets the position within the media at which playback should stop.

Implemented IMediaSeeking Methods

Method

Description

CheckCapabilities

Determines which capabilities exist on a media stream by applying seeking capability flags and checking the returned value.

ConvertTimeFormat

Converts a time from one time format to another.

GetAvailable

Returns the range of times in which seeking is efficient.

GetCapabilities

Retrieves the seeking capabilities of the media stream.

GetCurrentPosition

Retrieves the current position within the media stream.

GetDuration

Retrieves the length of time that the media stream will play.

GetPositions

Retrieves the current start and stop position settings.

GetPreroll

Retrieves the preroll settings.

GetRate

Retrieves the current rate.

GetStopPosition

Retrieves the position at which the media stream stops.

GetTimeFormat

Retrieves the current media time format.

IsFormatSupported

Determines if a specified time format is supported.

IsUsingTimeFormat

Determines if the time format being used in the call is the same as the one the interface currently uses.

QueryPreferredFormat

Retrieves the preferred time format the interface will use.

SetPositions

Sets current and stop positions and applies flags to both.

SetRate

Sets a new playback rate.

SetTimeFormat

Sets the time format, which determines the format of units used during seeking.
