Creating a Derived Media Handler Component

This chapter describes the process of creating a derived media handler component. It provides an example of creating a derived media handler component and defines its component and request flags. The functional interface that your derived media handler component must support is described in “Derived Media Handler Support.”

Before reading this section, you should be familiar with how to create components.

Apple has defined the MediaHandlerType component type value ('mhlr') for media handler components. All components of this type have the same type value.

Apple has also defined a functional interface for derived media handler components. For information about the functions that your component must support, see “Derived Media Handler Support.”
