RMMFControllerProxy Class Reference

class RMMFControllerProxy : public RMmfSessionBase

RSessionBase-based client class to handle the creation of the controller thread and message sending over IPC.

The controller proxy is responsible for sending and recieving messages over IPC; it does not care exactly what those messages are.

Note the fact that, although this is an internal component, its size cannot be changed because it's embedded in a publishedAll class (RMMFController) and the size of the latter would also be changed raising a binary compatibility problem.

ControllersMaxHeapSizeL(TUid)

TUint ControllersMaxHeapSizeL(TUidaControllerUid)[private]

Determines the maximum heap size required by the selected controller

Parameters

TUid aControllerUid

DoCreateSessionForNoDRMCapClient(TUint, TBool, TUint)

TInt DoCreateSessionForNoDRMCapClient(TUintaMaxHeapSize,
TBoolaUseSharedHeap,
TUintaStackSize
)[private]

Create a session to handle situation of playing DRM protected content in process with no DRM capability. DRM server process will be created, if not yet created. This server is responsible to manage and monitor all the MMF Controller servers created as seperate threads belong to DRM server process. Once the new MMF Controller server is running, a MMF Controller server session will be created and the handle is passing back.

Parameters

TUint aMaxHeapSize
TBool aUseSharedHeap
TUint aStackSize

DoCreateSubThread(RServer2 *, TUint, TBool, TUint)

TInt DoCreateSubThread(RServer2 *aServer2,
TUintaMaxHeapSize,
TBoolaUseSharedHeap,
TUintaStackSize
)[private]

Creates the new thread

Parameters

RServer2 * aServer2
TUint aMaxHeapSize
TBool aUseSharedHeap
TUint aStackSize

LoadController(TUid, TBool)

IMPORT_C TIntLoadController(TUidaControllerUid,
TBoolaUseSharedHeap
)

Create a new thread and load a controller plugin into that thread.

Since
7.0s

Parameters

TUid aControllerUidThe UID of the controller plugin to be loaded.
TBool aUseSharedHeapIf this value is EFalse each controller is created with its own heap. The alternative, if the value is ETrue, is that controllers share a special heap with other controllers created the same way. Each heap uses a chunk, so this avoids situations where the number of chunks per process is limited. The default behaviour is generally to be preferred, and should give lower overall memory usage. However, if many controllers are to be created for a particular thread, then ETrue should be provided to prevent running out of heaps or chunks.

LoadController(const CMMFControllerImplementationInformation &, TBool)

IMPORT_C TIntLoadController(const CMMFControllerImplementationInformation &aControllerInfo,
TBoolaUseSharedHeap
)

Create a new thread and load a controller plugin into that thread.

Since

Parameters

const CMMFControllerImplementationInformation & aControllerInfoA reference to a CMMFControllerImplementationInformation object used for determining the controller UID and heap size
TBool aUseSharedHeapIf this value is EFalse each controller is created with its own heap. The alternative, if the value is ETrue, is that controllers share a special heap with other controllers created the same way. Each heap uses a chunk, so this avoids situations where the number of chunks per process is limited. The default behaviour is generally to be preferred, and should give lower overall memory usage. However, if many controllers are to be created for a particular thread, then ETrue should be provided to prevent running out of heaps or chunks.

TInt LoadController(TUidaControllerUid,
const CMMFControllerImplementationInformation &aControllerInfo,
TBoolaUseSharedHeap,

)[private]

Parameters

TUid aControllerUidThe UID of the controller plugin to be loaded.
const CMMFControllerImplementationInformation & aControllerInfoA reference to a CMMFControllerImplementationInformation object used for determining the heap size and DRM server supporting state.
TBool aUseSharedHeapIf this value is EFalse each controller is created with its own heap. The alternative, if the value is ETrue, is that controllers share a special heap with other controllers created the same way. Each heap uses a chunk, so this avoids situations where the number of chunks per process is limited. The default behaviour is generally to be preferred, and should give lower overall memory usage. However, if many controllers are to be created for a particular thread, then ETrue should be provided to prevent running out of heaps or chunks.
TBool aNoDRMCap = EFalseThe indicator supplied from user used to determine whether the user's process has DRM capability

IMPORT_C TIntLoadControllerInSecureDRMProcess(TUidaControllerUid,

Parameters

TBool aUseSharedHeapIf this value is EFalse each controller is created with its own heap. The alternative, if the value is ETrue, is that controllers share a special heap with other controllers created the same way. Each heap uses a chunk, so this avoids situations where the number of chunks per process is limited. The default behaviour is generally to be preferred, and should give lower overall memory usage.

Parameters

const CMMFControllerImplementationInformation & aControllerInfoA reference to a CMMFControllerImplementationInformation object used for determining the controller UID and heap size
TBool aUseSharedHeapIf this value is EFalse each controller is created with its own heap. The alternative, if the value is ETrue, is that controllers share a special heap with other controllers created the same way. Each heap uses a chunk, so this avoids situations where the number of chunks per process is limited. The default behaviour is generally to be preferred, and should give lower overall memory usage.

IMPORT_C voidReceiveEvents(TMMFEventPckg &aEvent,
TRequestStatus &aStatus

Events can be generated at any time, and are generally associated with things that occur due to something happening internally within the controller. For example, an event will be generated if the controller stops playing due to reaching the end of a file.

Parameters

TMMFEventPckg & aEventA reference to a TMMFEventPckg object that must be member data of the active object calling this method. The details of the event will be copied into this object when an event occurs.
TRequestStatus & aStatusThe TRequestStatus of the active object calling this method.
