Filter Manager Error/Status Codes
Appendix C
Filter Manager Error/Status Codes
The following return codes may be returned by calls to Filter Manager methods
or by Filter Manager Error Events.
NOTE 1:
There are six error codes that are reported by the video encoder chip and
passed unaltered through Filter Manager. Unfortunately, these six error codes con-
flict with identically numbered errors generated by Filter Manager itself. Although it is
true that these six error codes do not uniquely identify a single specific Argus error
condition, in most cases the error condition can be identified by the context in which
it is reported. The error codes reported by the encoder chip are identified as such in
the Comments section of the Error/Status Codes table that follows.
NOTE 2:
If you abort an encode or shut down your application without cleanly ending
an encode, you must make certain that CVProServer and MemMgrServer have both
been terminated before you restart the application. You can terminate these services
using Task Manager.
