MF_E_DROPTIME_NOT_SUPPORTED
MF_E_DROPTIME_NOT_SUPPORTED is the documented result when a component does not support IMFQualityAdvise::DropTime. The method asks a component to drop samples quickly over an absolute time interval so a late renderer can catch up.
Treat this as a capability result
- Record the component and the
hnsAmountToDropvalue requested in 100-nanosecond units. - Do not add earlier DropTime requests to the new value. Microsoft specifies that each amount is absolute rather than cumulative.
- Use other supported quality controls when available; repeated calls with a different interval do not add DropTime capability to a component that returns this HRESULT.
DropTime is primarily intended for video renderers because dropping audio samples creates audible glitches. It also differs from setting a persistent drop mode: after the requested interval, the renderer stops the accelerated dropping behavior. This makes the HRESULT useful when deciding whether the quality manager can use catch-up dropping on a particular pipeline object.
