IMediaStream Interface (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
This interface provides access to the characteristics of a media stream, such as the stream's media type and purpose ID. It also has methods that create data samples.
Implement this interface when you want to add media type-specific functionality to your media stream.
This interface is implemented on multimedia stream objects. IMediaStream provides generic sample-creation methods, but you usually want to write a more powerful version of these methods that will take advantage of your media type's specific characteristics.
Use this interface when your application needs to access a stream's media type information and create data samples.
Methods in Vtable Order
The following table shows the methods that appear in the Vtable beneath the standard COM methods inherited from IUnknown.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
Retrieves a pointer to the multimedia stream that contains the specified media stream. |
|
Retrieves the stream's purpose ID and media type. |
|
Sets the media stream to the same format as a previous stream. |
|
Allocates a new stream sample object for the current media stream. |
|
