IMFRealTimeClientEx Interface

Notifies a pipeline object to register itself with the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS).

This interface is a replacement for the IMFRealTimeClient interface.

Syntax

interface IMFRealTimeClientEx : public IUnknown  

Remarks

When to implement

A pipeline object (media source, media sink, or transform) should implement this interface if it meets either of the following conditions:

• The object uses Media Foundation work queues to queue asynchronous work items.
• The object creates one or more worker threads.

Note

Work queues are recommended instead of creating new threads. Work queues scale better, require fewer threads, and automatically support MMCSS.

When to use

Applications typically do not use this interface. The Media Foundation pipeline uses this interface to communicate with objects in the pipeline.
