Thank you.
In the testMPEG2TransportReceiver when we do  : sessionState.sink =
FileSink::createNew(*env, "stdout");
We get the stream in stdout or a real file name could have been used instead.
//According to what I understand this function allows  to receive all the
stream until the end:
sessionState.sink->startPlaying(*sessionState.source, afterPlaying, NULL);

I don't really unsterstand the role of this function
:env->taskScheduler().doEventLoop(); ?

So, to put the stream in my filter at the same time it is received, I make
a pointer to stdout like this :
byte *pDataBuff=(byte*)"stdout";//I also tried stdin
pms->GetPointer(&pDataBuff); //After this operation, the output buffer pms
point  at the same location as the buffer pDataBuff. pms is used to put
the stream in the filter
But It don't work.
I thought that if I used the function read() I will have to wait until all
the stream is received before read it
because according to what i understand startplaying() allows to receive
the stream until the last packet.
Am I wrong?  Please can you give me some ideas to put the stream in my
filter at the same time it is received.
Thank you for your attention
