Properties that can be set on initialization

With ReaderOpen (MFormats SDK) and FileNameSet (MPlatform) methods, you can specify object properties that are implemented right on initialization. 

The basic example is to specify a "loop" property:

m_objReader.ReaderOpen(pathToFile, "loop=true"); 
m_objFile.FileNameSet(pathToFile, "loop=true");

You can specify several properties at once, splitting them with space (' ') symbol:

m_objReader.ReaderOpen(pathToFile, "loop=true scale_type=crop"); 
m_objFile.FileNameSet(pathToFile, "loop=true in=5.0 out=10.0"); // note that in- and out-points are MPlatform-related only

You can specify any of object properties. See more for details about MFReader and about MFile objects.

Though you can specify any properties with the PropsSet method, sometimes it is useful to specify parameters in a single row.

Since the SDK is FFmpeg-based, you can pass file-opening parameters that are available in FFmpeg as well. Example:

m_objReader.ReaderOpen(@"udp://multicast:port?fifo_size=2000000&buffer_size=2000000&pkt_size=1316&overrun_nonfatal=1", "probesize=50M analyzeduration=10");
m_objFile.FileNameSet(@"udp://multicast:port?fifo_size=2000000&buffer_size=2000000&pkt_size=1316&overrun_nonfatal=1", "probesize=50M analyzeduration=10");
