IMediaControl::RenderFile

Adds and connects filters needed to play the specified file.

HRESULT RenderFile(
BSTR strFilename);

Parameters

  • strFilename
    Name of the file to render.

Return Values

Returns an HRESULT value.

Remarks

This method allows an application to pass the name of a media file that it wants rendered to the filter graph manager. The filter graph manager will build a graph of the filters needed to play back this file. This method is Automation-compatible and is equivalent to IGraphBuilder::RenderFile, which should be used by C and C++ applications.
