IConfigAsfWriter2::StreamNumFromPin method (dshowasf.h)

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 StreamNumFromPin method retrieves the stream number associated with the specified input pin.

Syntax

HRESULT StreamNumFromPin(
  [in]  IPin *pPin,
  [out] WORD *pwStreamNum
);

Parameters

[in] pPin

Pointer to the IPin interface on the input pin.

[out] pwStreamNum

Receives the stream number.

Return value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

You may need to use the Windows Media Format SDK interfaces directly to manipulate a stream before running the filter graph. This method is provided because you cannot assume that an ASF stream number is the same as the DirectShow pin number.
