Run Filter In Process

By default, Filter runs out of process. However, you can enable in-process filtering through the API or in the formats.ini file. If the type of process is not specified in the formats.ini or in the API, Filter is run out of process. If the type of process is specified in the formats.ini and in the API, the setting in the API takes precedence.

To run Filter in process

  • To specify that filtering should run in-process through the C API, set the KVF_INPROCESS flag in the dwFlags argument of the KVFilterInitOptions structure that you pass to fpInit(), or set the flag in the final argument of fpOpenStreamEx2().

    dwFlags |= KVF_INPROCESS

  • To specify that filtering should run in-process by modifying formats.ini, set the default_inprocess parameter in the [FilterSDK_Config] section to 1. By default this parameter is set to 0 (zero), which enables out-of-process filtering.
