GetTitleParentalLevels 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]

Note

This component is available for use in the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.

 

The GetTitleParentalLevels method retrieves the parental management levels for the specified title.

[ iLevels = ] MSWebDVD.GetTitleParentalLevels(iTitle)

Parameters

iTitle

Specifies the title as an Integer.

Return Value

Returns an integer value whose individual bits indicate which parental management levels (PML) are set in the specified title.

Remarks

A title may have chapters or even short segments that have a PML different from the overall PML for the title. Use this method to determine all the PMLs that will be encountered when playing a specified title. The returned integer is a set of bit flags that are defined as shown in the table below. Perform a bitwise AND operation on iLevels and each possible value. If the operation returns true, it means that PML will be encountered at some point in this title.
