IMFPMediaPlayer::GetMediaItem method (mfplay.h)

Article
12/05/2018

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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer and IMFMediaEngine.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

Gets a pointer to the current media item.

Syntax

HRESULT GetMediaItem(
  [out] IMFPMediaItem **ppIMFPMediaItem
);

Parameters

[out] ppIMFPMediaItem

Receives a pointer to the media item's IMFPMediaItem interface. The caller must release the interface.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code	Description
S_OK	The method succeeded.
E_FAIL	There is no current media item.
MF_E_NOT_FOUND	There is no current media item.
MF_E_SHUTDOWN	The object's Shutdown method was called.

Remarks

The IMFPMediaPlayer::SetMediaItem method is asynchronous. Therefore, while SetMediaItem is pending, GetMediaItem will not return the media item that was just set. Instead, the application should implement IMFPMediaPlayerCallback interface and handle the MFP_EVENT_TYPE_MEDIAITEM_SET event. For more information, see Receiving Events From the Player.

The previous remark also applies to setting the media item in the MFPCreateMediaPlayer function.
