IMFASFIndexer interface (wmcontainer.h)

Provides methods to work with indexes in Systems Format (ASF) files. The ASF indexer object exposes this interface. To create the ASF indexer, call MFCreateASFIndexer.

Inheritance

The IMFASFIndexer interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IMFASFIndexer also has these types of members:

Methods

The IMFASFIndexer interface has these methods.

IMFASFIndexer::CommitIndex Adds information about a new index to the ContentInfo object associated with ASF content. You must call this method before copying the index to the content so that the index will be readable by the indexer later.
IMFASFIndexer::GenerateIndexEntries Accepts an ASF packet for the file and creates index entries for them.
IMFASFIndexer::GetCompletedIndex Retrieves the completed index from the ASF indexer object.
IMFASFIndexer::GetFlags Retrieves the flags that indicate the selected indexer options.
IMFASFIndexer::GetIndexByteStreamCount Retrieves the number of byte streams that are in use by the indexer object.
IMFASFIndexer::GetIndexPosition Retrieves the offset of the index object from the start of the content.
IMFASFIndexer::GetIndexStatus Retrieves the index settings for a specified stream and index type.
IMFASFIndexer::GetIndexWriteSpace Retrieves the size, in bytes, of the buffer required to store the completed index.
IMFASFIndexer::GetSeekPositionForValue Given a desired seek time, gets the offset from which the client should start reading data.
IMFASFIndexer::Initialize Initializes the indexer object.
IMFASFIndexer::SetFlags Sets indexer options.
IMFASFIndexer::SetIndexByteStreams Adds byte streams to be indexed.
IMFASFIndexer::SetIndexStatus Configures the index for a stream.

Remarks

You can use the indexer object to read an existing ASF index or write a new index. The index object has two mutually exclusive modes: read mode and write mode. To set the mode, call SetFlags.

Use the following methods to configure the indexer object (both modes):

• Initialize
• SetFlags
• SetIndexByteStreams

Use the following methods to read an existing index:

• GetFlags
• GetIndexByteStreamCount
• GetIndexPosition
• GetIndexStatus
• GetSeekPositionForValue

Use the following methods to write an index:

• CommitIndex
• GenerateIndexEntries
• GetCompletedIndex
• GetIndexWriteSpace
• SetIndexStatus
