Sets the discontinuity property.

HRESULT SetDiscontinuity(
BOOL
bIsDiscontinuity
);

Parameters

bIsDiscontinuity
[in] Set to TRUE to specify the media sample as discontinuous with the previous sample.

Return Values

Returns an HRESULTvalue that depends on the implementation. HRESULTcan be one of the following standard constants, or other values not listed.

E_FAIL Failure.
E_POINTER Null pointer argument.
E_INVALIDARG Invalid argument.
E_NOTIMPL Method isn't supported.
S_OK or NOERROR Success.

Remarks

Discontinuous samples occur when a source filter seeks to a different place in the media stream or when a filter drops samples for quality control.

While calling SetDiscontinuitywith a value of TRUE (1) sets the discontinuity property, calling IsDiscontinuityon a discontinuous sample returns S_OK (0).
