IDvbServiceDescriptor Interface

This topic applies to Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and later.

The IDvbServiceDescriptor interface enables the client to get a service descriptor from a DVB stream. The service descriptor may be present in the service description table (SDT). For more information, refer to ETSI EN 300 468.

Methods

The IDvbServiceDescriptor interface inherits the methods of the IUnknown interface.

In addition, IDvbServiceDescriptor defines the following methods.

Method Description

GetLength

Returns the length of the descriptor body.

GetProcessedServiceName

Returns the service name converted into a readable string.

GetServiceName

Returns the raw service name.

GetServiceNameEmphasized

GetServiceProviderName

Remarks

To obtain a pointer to this interface, do the following:

  1. Call IDvbSiParser::GetSDT to get the IDVB_SDT interface.
  2. Call IDVB_SDT::GetRecordDescriptorByTag and pass in the logical channel descriptor tag (0x47). If the descriptor is present, the method returns an IGenericDescriptor pointer.
  3. Query the returned IGenericDescriptor pointer for the IDvbServiceDescriptor interface.
