Run Method

Summary

Plays the current media source.

Syntax

C++

public virtual void Run()

Public Overridable Sub Run()

public: 
virtual void Run();

Remarks

Places the play control in the PlayState.Running state. This method can block for a long time when streaming from the LEAD RTSP Source filter. If the LEAD RTSP Source filter is not receiving data, the MediaEvent event will be fired every second. The event will have eventCode set to MediaEventCode.EC_LOADSTATUS and param1 will be set to LoadStatusEventCode.AM_LOADSTATUS_WAITING_FOR_DATA. See the MediaEventCode enumeration for more details. You can abort the wait for data by calling PlayCtrl.ResetSource or PlayCtrl.Stop while processing the event. See LoadStatusEventCode for more details.
