IWMSPacketStreamer::SelectStream

The SelectStream method is called by the server to specify the streams that are sent down a data path.

HRESULT SelectStream(
  IWMSCommandContext*  pCommand,
  IWMSStreamSwitchDescriptionList*  pStreamSwitchDescList,
  IWMSPacketStreamerCallback*  pCallback,
  QWORD  qwContext
);

Arguments

pCommand	[in] Pointer to an IWMSCommandContextIWMSCommandContext Interface containing the associated context.
pStreamSwitchDescList	[in] Pointer to an IWMSStreamSwitchDescriptionListIWMSStreamSwitchDescriptionList Interface containing stream IDs.
pCallback	[in] Pointer to an IWMSPacketStreamerCallbackIWMSPacketStreamerCallback Interface used to report the status of the method call.
qwContext	[in] QWORD containing a value defined by the server to identify which call to SelectStream the plug-in is responding to when it calls IWMSPacketStreamerCallback::OnSelectStream. You must pass this value back unaltered.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, the plug-in must return S_OK. To report an error, the plug-in can return any HRESULT other than S_OK. If the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLogIWMSEventLog Interface to log error information directly to the Windows Event Viewer, it is recommended that it return NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED. Typically, the server attempts to make plug-in error information available to the server object model, the Windows Event Viewer, and the troubleshooting list in the details pane of the Windows Media Services MMC. However, if the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog interface to send custom error information to the Windows Event Viewer, returning NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED stops the server from also logging to the event viewer. For more information about retrieving plug-in error information, see Identifying Plug-in Errors.

Remarks

If this method returns S_OK, and if it does not call SelectStream on an upstream module in which it passes in the original arguments, the IWMSPacketStreamerCallback::OnSelectStream method must be called to let the input module pass results directly to the output module.
