CBaseRenderer.Run method

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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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

The Run method runs the filter.

Syntax

HRESULT Run();

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an HRESULT value indicating the cause of the error.

Remarks

This method overrides the CBaseFilter::Run method. It performs the following actions:

  • Calls the CBaseFilter::Run method.
  • Commits the allocator. (See IMemAllocator::Commit.)
  • If the previous state was stopped, the filter releases any sample it is holding. (The sample is no longer valid.)
  • Calls the CBaseRenderer::StartStreaming method and returns the result. If a sample is pending, the StartStreaming method schedules it for rendering.

If the filter is not connected, it posts an EC_COMPLETE event immediately.
