Reports a fatal decoding or playback error to the client. When these errors occur, decoding and playback is stopped automatically. The client must destroy the CMMFDevVideoPlay object and create a new instance before attempting to continue. Note that scenarios have been identified where MdvpoFatalError may get referenced at some point during the execution of a CMMFDevVideoPlay procedure. Therefore CMMFDevVideoPlay object should be deleted outside of MdvpoFatalError context in order to avoid accidental access to de-allocated CMMFDevVideoPlay data members.

Note that running out of processing power or encountering corrupted bitstream data should not be classified as errors if the decoder and post-processor can recover automatically.

Reports that DevVideoPlay initialization has completed. The interface can now be used for video playback.

Notifies the client that one or more new empty input buffers are available. The client can fetch the input buffer with GetBufferL().

Notifies the client that one or more new output pictures are available. The client can then use GetNewPictureInfo() and NextPicture() to fetch the pictures.

Back channel information from the decoder, indicating a picture loss without specifying the lost picture.

Back channel information from the decoder, indicating the pictures that have been lost.

Back channel information from the decoder, indicating a reference picture selection request. The request is delivered as a coding-standard specific binary message. Reference picture selection can be used to select a pervious correctly transmitted picture to use as a reference in case later pictures have been lost.

Returns a used input video picture back to the caller. The picture memory can be re-used or freed.

Back channel information from the decoder, indicating the loss of consecutive macroblocks in raster scan order.

Reports that the input video stream end has been reached and all pictures have been processed. This method is only called after the client has called InputEnd(). No more output pictures will be available.

Delivers supplemental information from a coded data unit. The information is codec-dependent.

Called when a timed snapshot request has been completed. When this method is called, the snapshot has been taken, and the memory reserved for the picture can be re-used or freed.
