SourceFilterName Property

Summary

Gets the name of the source filter used to read the current source media file.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public string SourceFilterName { get; }

public: 
property String^ SourceFilterName { 
   String^ get(); 
}

Property Value

A value representing the name of the current source filter used to read the source media.

Remarks

This property is updated automatically when the SourceFile property is set to the current source media file. The current source media file is found in the SourceFile property. This is the file that the MediaInfo object gets information for. The SourceFile property must be set before retrieving information from any of the other MediaInfo properties. Call the ResetSource method to release the source file when it is no longer needed.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public PlayCtrlForm _form = new PlayCtrlForm(); 
public bool _result = false; 
 
public void ResetSourceExample() 
{ 
   // reference the play control 
   PlayCtrl playctrl = _form.PlayCtrl; 
 
   // input file 
   string inFile = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir, "MediaInfo_Source.avi"); 
   string info = string.Empty; 
 
   try 
   { 
      // create a new media info object 
      MediaInfo mi = new MediaInfo(); 
 
      // set the input and output files 
      mi.SourceFile = inFile; 
 
      // set the info string 
      info = string.Format("Source File={0}\nSource File Size={1}\nSource BitRate={2}\nDuration={3}\nVideoBitRate={4}\nVideoBitCount={5}\n\nAre these values correct?", 
         // AudioBitsPerSample={5}\nAudioChannels={6}\n  
         mi.SourceFile, mi.SourceFileSize, mi.SourceBitRate, mi.SourceDuration, mi.VideoBitRate, mi.VideoBitCount); //, mi.AudioBitsPerSample, mi.AudioChannels); 
 
      // verify the values 
      _result = (MessageBox.Show(_form, info, "Media Info", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes); 
 
      // reset the source 
      mi.ResetSource(); 
 
      // set the result to what we expect 
      _result = (mi.SourceFile == null); 
   } 
   catch (Exception) 
   { 
      _result = false; 
   }
