IMediaSeeking::GetPositions method (strmif.h)

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The GetPositions method retrieves the current position and the stop position, relative to the total duration of the stream.

Syntax

HRESULT GetPositions(
  [out] LONGLONG *pCurrent,
  [out] LONGLONG *pStop
);

Parameters

[out] pCurrent

Pointer to a variable that receives the current position, in units of the current time format.

[out] pStop

Pointer to a variable that receives the stop position, in units of the current time format.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.

Remarks

The current position and the stop position are both relative to the original stream, and are independent of the playback rate.

The returned values are expressed in the current time format. The default time format is REFERENCE_TIME units (100 nanoseconds). To change time formats, use the IMediaSeeking::SetTimeFormat method.
