A pointer to the frame object (may be empty).

Exceptions

StreamIndex()

int StreamIndex ( ) const

inline

Get the stream index this decoder can work on.

Returns

The stream index.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

When the decoder is created from a container file, stream index will be the index of the first video stream in the file.
