The IAMMediaContent interface provides methods for retrieving metadata from a stream. Applications can use this interface to retrieve information encoded into a stream, such as the author, title, and copyright. This interface is typically exposed by parser filters, such as the AVI Splitter filter and the MPEG-1 Stream Splitter filter.
Depending on the stream type, a filter might support a subset of the methods on this interface. For example, the AVI Splitter retrieves the copyright, author name, and title from INFO chunks in the AVI file. The remaining methods return E_NOTIMPL.
Requirements
Requires Qnetwork.h. To define the interface identifier, IID_IAMMediaContent, include Initguid.h before Qnetwork.h, but after Dshow.h:
#include <dshow.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <qnetwork.h>
In addition to the methods inherited from IDispatch, the IAMMediaContent interface exposes the following methods.
