IDvdInfo2::GetCurrentLocation method (strmif.h)

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]

The GetCurrentLocation method retrieves the current playback ___location.

Syntax

HRESULT GetCurrentLocation(
  [out] DVD_PLAYBACK_LOCATION2 *pLocation
);

Parameters

[out] pLocation

Pointer to a variable of type DVD_PLAYBACK_LOCATION2 that receives the playback ___location information.

Return value

Returns one of the following HRESULT values.

Remarks

This method retrieves information sufficient to restart playback of a video from the current playback ___location in titles that don't explicitly disable seeking to the current ___location. After the disc has been ejected, the information returned by this method will not necessarily be sufficient to restart playback. To save the current ___location and state information to disc so that the user can return to the same ___location at any later time, use GetState.
