IMediaSample::SetDiscontinuity

  • Article

This method sets the discontinuity property.

HRESULT SetDiscontinuity(
  BOOL bIsDiscontinuity
);

Parameters

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

Return Values

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).

Requirements

DirectShow applications and DirectShow filters have different include file and link library requirements. See Setting Up the Build Environment for more information.

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.12 and later. Version 2.12 requires DXPAK 1.0 or later.
