IMFPMediaPlayer::GetState method (mfplay.h)

Important  Deprecated. This API may be removed from future releases of Windows. Applications should use the Media Session for playback.
 

Gets the current playback state of the MFPlay player object.

Syntax

HRESULT GetState(
  [out] MFP_MEDIAPLAYER_STATE *peState
);

Parameters

[out] peState

Receives the playback state, as a member of the MFP_MEDIAPLAYER_STATE enumeration.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

This method can be called after the player object has been shut down.

Many of the IMFPMediaPlayer methods complete asynchronously. While an asynchronous operation is pending, the current state is not updated until the operation completes. When the operation completes, the application receives an event callback, and the new state is given in the MFP_EVENT_HEADER structure that is passed to the callback.
