Multimedia Renderer Client API

The multimedia renderer Client API exposes the functions you can use to connect to mm-renderer, create and use contexts, attach inputs and outputs, and configure playback.

The Client API helps you manage the flow of media content by providing calls for specifying which media to play, directing the media flow to an audio or video device for playback or to a file for recording, and starting, stopping, or changing the current track being played. In addition, the API allows you to apply parameters to inputs, outputs, contexts, or tracks. These parameters are defined in dictionary objects, which are then passed to the appropriate API function (see the Dictionary Object API for details on dictionary objects).

The header file containing the Client API functions, renderer.h, can be found in the folder /usr/include/mm. The header file defining the enumerated error codes and user-visible data types, types.h, can be found in the folder /usr/include/mm/renderer.
