_MFP_MEDIAITEM_CHARACTERISTICS enumeration (mfplay.h)

Important  Deprecated. This API may be removed from future releases of Windows. Applications should use the Media Session for playback.

 

Contains flags that describe a media item.

Syntax

typedef enum _MFP_MEDIAITEM_CHARACTERISTICS {
  MFP_MEDIAITEM_IS_LIVE = 0x1,
  MFP_MEDIAITEM_CAN_SEEK = 0x2,
  MFP_MEDIAITEM_CAN_PAUSE = 0x4,
  MFP_MEDIAITEM_HAS_SLOW_SEEK = 0x8
} ;

Constants

MFP_MEDIAITEM_IS_LIVE Value: 0x1 The media item represents a live data source, such as video camera. If playback is stopped and then restarted, there will be a gap in the content.
MFP_MEDIAITEM_CAN_SEEK Value: 0x2 The media item supports seeking. If this flag is absent, the IMFPMediaPlayer::SetPosition method will fail.
MFP_MEDIAITEM_CAN_PAUSE Value: 0x4 The media item can pause. If this flag is absent, the IMFPMediaPlayer::Pause method will likely fail.
MFP_MEDIAITEM_HAS_SLOW_SEEK Value: 0x8 Seeking can take a long time. For example, the source might download content through HTTP.
