IConfigAsfWriter::GetCurrentProfileGuid method

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The GetCurrentProfileGuid method retrieves the current Windows Media system profile GUID.

Syntax

HRESULT GetCurrentProfileGuid(
  [out] GUID *pProfileGuid
);

Parameters

pProfileGuid [out]

Pointer to a variable of type GUID that identifies the current system profile being used by the filter.

Return value

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

Remarks

This method is not used with custom profiles (including all profiles that include streams that use the Windows Media Audio and Video codecs) because all such profiles are created by applications and have no GUID identifier. If no system profile is loaded, pProfileGuid will be set to NULL.
