Comments

This method can be used to determine whether a preferred media source handler has been set by IltmfPlay::SetPreferredMediaSourceHandler. It will return NULL (if no preferred filter has been set) or a GUID indicating the preferred media source handler.

This GUID uniquely identifies the media source handler. Every media format has a registered media source handler(s) who are responsible of creating a media source for this media type.

For example, the GUID for the LEAD MPEG2 Transport Media Source Handler is:

EFE626C3-0A2C-49FA-8A01-3768B559B6DA

If the method succeeds, the caller must free the returned string by calling the SysFreeString function.

A list of display names for common LEAD filters can be found in ltmfMediaSourceHandler Constants.

Please see IltmfPlay::SetPreferredMediaSourceHandler for more information on media source handler GUID.
