Internal Script Command Renderer Filter

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

Receives script commands and dispatches them to the application.

This filter accepts script commands in one of two formats:

• MEDIATYPE_Text: Each media sample contains an ANSI text string.

• MEDIATYPE_ScriptCommand: Each media sample contains two NULL-terminated Unicode strings, concatenated together. The first string describes the command type and the second string is the script command.

  When the filter receives a sample, it sends an EC_OLE_EVENT event notification. The first event parameter is a BSTR with the command type, or Text if the format is MEDIATYPE_Text. The second event parameter is a BSTR with the script command. The application can retrieve the event and respond to the script command.

For an example of how to use this filter, see SAMI (CC) Parser.
