Properties

Type Name Description
long FolderCount Gets or sets the number of buffer folder locations. Use this to determine the number of DVR buffer folder locations on the system.
BSTR FolderName( long nFolderIndex) Gets or sets the name of the fully qualified folder path for the specified buffer location. Use this to determine the full pathname of the specified DVR buffer folder location.

HRESULT SetOffsetToReach(long nRegistrationID, double Offset)

Description

Instructs the DVR sink object to set the offset reached event once it has written data past a certain offset.

Parameters

nRegistrationID

The identifier passed to CreateEvents2 when the Offset Reached event was created.

Offset

The offset to reach (in bytes). The Offset Reached event will be set when the DVR sink has written data past this offset. Must be > 0.

Comments

This method is used internally by the DVR source object.

For example, if an application wants to read N bytes from offset X, then it will do the following:

  1. Reset the offset reached event.
  2. Call SetOffsetToReach(X + N).
  3. Use a windows waiting function and wait for the offset reached event to be set. (This of course, assumes the event was created through an earlier call to CreateEvents2.

Returns

Return Description
S_OK Successful.
E_INVALIDARG The registration identifier is invalid or the offset is invalid.

Value Meaning
VARIANT_TRUE Discard changes and reset the attributes to their previous settings.
VARIANT_FALSE Set the attributes.

Returns

Return Description
S_OK Successful.
S_FALSE Otherwise.

HRESULT GetFragmentAlignment(double startOffset, double endOffset, double *pAlignedStartOffset, double *pAlignedEndOffset);

Description

Takes the user-supplied byte range and scans for transport fragment boundaries.

Parameters

startOffset

Specifies the byte offset at which to begin scanning for transport fragments.

endOffset

Specifies the byte offset at which to stop scanning for transport fragments.

pAlignedStartOffset

A pointer to a double variable, storing the offset of the start of the first transport fragment found.

pAlignedEndOffset

A pointer to a double variable, storing the offset of the end of the last transport fragment.

Comments

Use this method along with CopyBufferToFile to save a completely intact MPEG transport fragment.

Set up the MPEG multiplexer used for recording to DVR by calling put_OutputType(Mpg2MxT_OutputType_HLS). Doing so guarantees that fragment boundaries start with synchronization frames. Specify the boundary time interval by calling put_ResyncInterval(intervalTime).

Returns

Return Description
S_OK Successful.
S_FALSE No transport fragment is found: pAlignedStartOffset and pAlignedEndOffset are set equal to startOffset, and indicate an empty search.

HRESULT GetTimedFragmentAlignment(double startOffset, double endOffset, double timeThreshold, double *pAlignedStartOffset, double *pAlignedEndOffset, double *pAlignedDuration);

Description

Takes the user-supplied byte range and scans for transport fragment boundaries. It will only return the minimum number of fragments that meet or exceed the timeThreshold.

Parameters

startOffset

Specifies the byte offset at which to begin scanning for transport fragments.

endOffset

Specifies the byte offset at which to stop scanning for transport fragments.

timeThreshold

Specifies the minimum time (in seconds) of the fragments to find.

pAlignedStartOffset

A pointer to a double variable, storing the offset of the start of the first transport fragment found.

pAlignedEndOffset

A pointer to a double variable, storing the offset of the end of the last transport fragment.

pAlignedDuration

A pointer to a double variable, storing the time (in seconds) of the transport fragments found.

Comments

Use this method along with CopyBufferToFile to save a completely intact MPEG transport fragment.

Set up the MPEG multiplexer used for recording to DVR by calling put_OutputType(Mpg2MxT_OutputType_HLS). Doing so guarantees that fragment boundaries start with synchronization frames. Specify the boundary time interval by calling put_ResyncInterval(intervalTime).

Returns

Return Description
S_OK Successful.
S_FALSE No transport fragment is found: pAlignedStartOffset and pAlignedEndOffset are set equal to startOffset, and indicate an empty search.
