Sending user input while in buffering in rtsp streamsource filter

[Anoop R.K]

Dear all..,

I am designing a rtsp stream source filter.While designing a filter i
am facing a couple of challenges

While we are in buffering(after sending EC_STARVATION to filter grah
manager),or in other words after sending EC_STARVATION to the filter
graph manager,transition is not completed from pause to run(as i am
sending VFW_S_STATE_INTERMEDIATE from getstate()).
At this time iam not able to take any user input from mediaplayer
(neither pause or stop is called from filter graph manager).So that i
can't stop the current buffering that is.

Is there a way to get pasue or stop while in buffering.

Thanks
Anoop

Instead of notifying EC_STARVATION and returning
VFW_S_STATE_INTERMEDIATE, simply return VFW_S_CANT_CUE. That
way, the graph will transition to paused (and then to
running) without waiting for you. If you do that, be sure to
not deliver samples while paused but only when running.

A real-time network streaming source is the same as a live
capture source:

HI..,
The problem is if i directly send VFW_S_CANT_CUE with out gathering
enough data, the filter will go to run(in this case we won't have
enough data to render).

You can suspend delivery in your filter until you are ready, even if
the graph is running. Once you restart, you adjust all your timestamps
to the current stream time plus a latency.
